TV numbers will continue to drop or at best stagnate as long as Neal Brown remains at the helm of the WVU football program. As the graph indicated when WVU plays at an even remotely quality fashion our fans tune-in to watch with numbers and passion. However there's only so much humiliation any fanbase can take and be expected to still tune-in and watch the games. Just one fans two cents worth and love the show brother Couz! 🎥🎬❤
@@djmih13 only thing the WV ADM understands is LOST MONEY. They don;t care what then fans think about them or Brown. If they stop going to the games and spending money that will eventually get the message. Not being on TV really hurts the financial stream .
Couz, some states have more than one professional and collegiate teams to follow. West Virginians basically only have Marshall and WVU. If viewership continues to drop, it's concerning. Some of my friends refused to watch after the Pitt debacle. Thanks Good video!
You are also forgetting that WV does not have a top 50 TV market. Those numbers, although not as good as they were 5 years ago, are still good. Most sports media TV numbers, minus NFL and SEC, are down. It’s was talked about on the Big 12 Mafia Show (Tuesday, 8PM Eastern) on more than one occasion.
WV may not have a pro football or baseball team inside its boundaries, but there are tons of fans for the Steelers/Pirates in the Northern part of the state, Commanders (former Skins)/Nationals fans in the Eastern Panhandle and Bengals/Reds fans down the Southwester counties (ie Logan)
@@TheOtherGygax Some WV counties in the North are included in the Pittsburgh media market along with some in the Eastern Panhandle inside the Washington, DC media market.
Thanks for the shout out, Daniel! Thanks for all opinions and thoughts on our channel. You da man. The numbers are good and can explode if WVU gets ranked again. Reason for optimism.
Yes. It has been impacting all facets of the tv, ticket sales, and recruiting. It's a trickle down problem that is making WVU a not so great prodcut to sell. I've beem saying this for a couple years. Even a scarier situation, it puts WVU further down on the list for expansion desirability. Brown has done major harm. He should have been fired 2022. His buyout should have been negotiated. WVUs issues aren't just coaching, they include administration.
Not according tom the fan boy Brown fans. he needs more time. Wait till next year with a weak schedule with Bobby Moe and Ohio U he might win. The fanboy club will be saying he has arrived and want a contract extension. Still has not beat a team with a winning record. Might beat UCF this weekend and all will be well with FANBOY Club.
Couz you are missing out of an opportunity to make some money. Have some WVU paper bag mask made up and sell them from your on line shop. Fans can wear them to the game!!!! Never let a crissis go to waste!!!! LOL!!!!
This coach cannot handle the pressure. Temple about to fire their coach. There is no excuse Neal should stick around. If temple can make a late season change, so can WVU. I don't want to make a bowl game bc some might think Neal should stick around if we finish .500
I had to tape the Baylor game BUT instead of bieng frustrated and to keep me from throwing my shoe at the tv. I checked the score and then just deleted the game. So i didnt watch it and get sick on the stomach and have to watch us get out coached Again!!
Think OhiomU and Bobby Moe going to do anything for TV ratings. Hell might not show the games. The printer league B12 is hardly watched now by anyone outside the B12 with Tx and OK gone. Cincy, BYU, Houston and UCF just not the same.
Not with Neal Brown as coach. He is 36-34 overall. Best season was 9 wins. More like a 5 or 6 wins per year coach. Terrible record (3-17) against ranked opponents.
Wild Ute is direct, he tells it like it is, Although Utah is having a horrific season by their standards he is poinyet.WV IMO, would have better #'s if they won some big games, I just wonder if NB is the man to steer them that direction.
As one of the fans no I am not watching WVU havent been same old same old, lot's of others I talk to IRL which is a large pool of people feel the same way. Something needs to change ASAP. Jimbo would work IMO
WE NEED A NEW AD NOW . MOST COLLEGES SPORTS PROGRAMS WOULD OF NEVER PUT UP WITH NEIL BROWN AFTER 5 YEARS . SHOULD OF NEVER GAVE HIM AN EXTENSION LAST YEAR. 9-4 IS NOT THAT GREAT OF A YEAR FOR MOST PROGRAMS . THAT WOULD OF BEEN A DOWN YEAR UNDER THE PAT WHITE YEARS ..
Coach Neal Brown is a nice person but he is out of his league. He should go coach high school or D3 college football. All of the staff needs to go. The strength and conditioning needs to also go. WVU players always seems to be out of breath and out of shape compared to the teams they play against.
Bengals and Wvu are the most disappointing teams in college and nfl . Both had high expectations . Both needs real coaches. New AD/ New owner . JOE BURROW has MVP numbers along with chase . Their kicker missed 2 more late field goals that would of sealed that game. He missed a chip shot in OT against Baltimore. We had the Chiefs beat in AAROW HEAD 4th and 20. Threw it over his head . They threw a late flag . 7 secounds after the play lost 26-25. Had Baltimore down 2 touch downs- with a first and 10. Fumbled the ball collapsed . Then came back. Was going for a 2 point play and the win. They clearly hit burrow in the face + defense grabbed chase no flag another loss. Being a WVU / BENGAL fan is too much . Done watching sports this year until both teams make some serious management changes. Bengals could easily be 8-3 right now. WVU could be 6-4 . Both defenses are down right terrible . If brown dosnt start Nicco thr final 2 games . Word has it he's transferring . Can't blame the kid . No body likes playing for Neil brown . Has one of the highest transfer portal of his players in the country
Apologies Couz but I am out on WVU FB until complete change from very top. NB has shown disrespect for fans for many weeks. You get that attitude from your boss. Neither were WVU fans before coming here, and neither will be after they leave. If the octogenarian was any type of a leader he'd retire early, and let a new President whos a WVU fan review and resolve. So again, apologies but I am out, and for also no longer watching your excellent podcast or any of the other guys.. And don't blame NB, blame his boss who put us here.
Yep ratings are definitely going down and I don't feel the need to finish a lot of the games I'm a DVR and decide not to watch it all I really don't have any enthusiasm for this team at all I can only compare it to the pro team that I used to follow in Washington and how bad it was for so long except it feels worse at WVU
I just took a Saturday job. I've seen enough. Not buying anything WVU until they start to invest in the fans. Stop with the fcs football hires. Get an sec coach in here, or I'm done. Not Jimbo.
Fire Brown and rehire Rodriguez if money is the issue. Rodriguez would have to come back at a large discount. Imagine Rodriguez with Greene and Marciol thr past 2 seasons plus White and Donaldson. The team would have competed in the Big 12 and likely would have dominated last season's much easier schedule. .

Not worth wasting couple hours just to be disappointed week after week and/or spending money to go to the game.

Fire Neal Brown!

Those are pretty weak fans imo but I completely understand why. I wish I could just not watch but im a glutton for pain. Lol

@ True. But those are not markets based in WV.
Reminder to watch the Big 12 Mafia show on Tuesday. 8PM Eastern.
And those TV numbers, in a state without a top 50 TV market, look good.

TV numbers will nosedive until something changes…
In 2008 WVU vs Louisville on a Thursday night on ESPN did just short of 5 million! That's how far the program has fallen.
5 million is a great number. WVU has posted top of Big 12 numbers despite not being ranked. The brand is strong. There’s reason for optimism imo.
@@wildute6958 It was strong, not anymore.
Stop saying NB is a nice guy but……
Bobby Knight was a monster but beloved as a coach. Because he won.
But did you have fun tailgating though?
I did. 🤣
I can no longer tolerate opening up an article about the team. It’s 98% negative. It sickens me.
Couz you are missing out of an opportunity to make some money. Have some WVU paper bag mask made up and sell them from your on line shop. Fans can wear them to the game!!!! Never let a crissis go to waste!!!! LOL!!!!
Haha! 🤣
Well, now the key is to fix our NIL, coaching, and portal. Our roster is really shaky for 2025.
Yep. Losing quite a few guys.
As a UCF fan I didn't know we were bringing the ratings down. Time to fire Gus and beg Deion to coach in his home state.
You won’t be for long. UCF is a fast growing program.
This coach cannot handle the pressure. Temple about to fire their coach. There is no excuse Neal should stick around. If temple can make a late season change, so can WVU. I don't want to make a bowl game bc some might think Neal should stick around if we finish .500
I had to tape the Baylor game BUT instead of bieng frustrated and to keep me from throwing my shoe at the tv. I checked the score and then just deleted the game. So i didnt watch it and get sick on the stomach and have to watch us get out coached Again!!
Probably the smart move.
Albany game didn't help WVU on the TV numbers. I would have put Marshall or some other G4 school regional in that spot.
Think OhiomU and Bobby Moe going to do anything for TV ratings. Hell might not show the games. The printer league B12 is hardly watched now by anyone outside the B12 with Tx and OK gone. Cincy, BYU, Houston and UCF just not the same.
WVU is a consistent 7-8 win team per season. Every now and then they will win 10 games but it's not consistent, maybe once every 4-5 seasons
Neal has only won at least 7 once in 5 years and it’s looking like it’ll be 6.
Not with Neal Brown as coach. He is 36-34 overall. Best season was 9 wins. More like a 5 or 6 wins per year coach. Terrible record (3-17) against ranked opponents.
When Deion Sanders leaves after this season. Colorado will be the bottom feeder of the Big 12.
Maybe.
Na. We have a pretty good lock for the last 10 years on that spot and will continue under BROWN or JIMBO.
If Brown has an ounce of dignity, he'd resign today.
That would be dumb. He’d be walking away from over $7 million.
Wild Ute is direct, he tells it like it is, Although Utah is having a horrific season by their standards he is poinyet.WV IMO, would have better #'s if they won some big games, I just wonder if NB is the man to steer them that direction.
I don’t think so.
Very interesting video.
Glad you enjoyed it
As one of the fans no I am not watching WVU havent been same old same old, lot's of others I talk to IRL which is a large pool of people feel the same way. Something needs to change ASAP. Jimbo would work IMO
Would have been interesting to overlay WVU views with average of the rest of the Big 12. I thought that was where you were heading.
That’s a future video.
@ good to hear
WE NEED A NEW AD NOW . MOST COLLEGES SPORTS PROGRAMS WOULD OF NEVER PUT UP WITH NEIL BROWN AFTER 5 YEARS . SHOULD OF NEVER GAVE HIM AN EXTENSION LAST YEAR. 9-4 IS NOT THAT GREAT OF A YEAR FOR MOST PROGRAMS . THAT WOULD OF BEEN A DOWN YEAR UNDER THE PAT WHITE YEARS ..
Wren isn’t the problem in my opinion. He inherited the mess and after a 9 win season, what was he supposed to do?
Coach Neal Brown is a nice person but he is out of his league. He should go coach high school or D3 college football. All of the staff needs to go. The strength and conditioning needs to also go. WVU players always seems to be out of breath and out of shape compared to the teams they play against.
And why would any recruit come to WVU unless that’s is the best or only offer he has? Gee killed academics and sports.
Bengals and Wvu are the most disappointing teams in college and nfl . Both had high expectations . Both needs real coaches. New AD/ New owner . JOE BURROW has MVP numbers along with chase .

It’s a shame. We’ve always been a respectable program. Hell, we’re 13th all time in wins.
16th now
@ dammit lol
Yep ratings are definitely going down and I don't feel the need to finish a lot of the games I'm a DVR and decide not to watch it all I really don't have any enthusiasm for this team at all I can only compare it to the pro team that I used to follow in Washington and how bad it was for so long except it feels worse at WVU
Isn't the buyout 7.3 million if fired January 1st hell use that 4 million dollars they are gonna make off the Virginia series as part of the buyout
That’s a fair point, but that money won’t be there until after the games are played.
@CouzsCornerSports Would be like a future loan
I just took a Saturday job. I've seen enough. Not buying anything WVU until they start to invest in the fans. Stop with the fcs football hires. Get an sec coach in here, or I'm done. Not Jimbo.
ESPN + SUCKS DIRT!
Espn + is the death to a program’s relevance.
Sure that are we suck
if we win 1 of the final 2 games we go to a bowl and brown comes back
Fire Brown and rehire Rodriguez if money is the issue. Rodriguez would have to come back at a large discount. Imagine Rodriguez with Greene and Marciol thr past 2 seasons plus White and Donaldson. The team would have competed in the Big 12 and likely would have dominated last season's much easier schedule. .
Hopefully we lose
