This is interesting!! Where did you get these figures?
I was able to find that between Ohio State, 2 Utah games and Alamo Bowl... just over 16m viewers. Almost half coming from 4 big games. I don't know what it means, but I would be more interested in what these numbers looked like over longer stretches of times.

Bottom line is that Oregon was a valuable Commodity in the pac12, but NEEDED the pac12. Their future depends on what what happens here. And I don't think joining the Big100 is their best move.
I agree joining the B1G is a bad proposition. I don't get what Fox and ESPN are using as their benchmark's. Apparently it's all based on population size near to the teams hometown, but they are severely underestimating the Ducks national and even international appeal.
A more exciting BRAND of football was developed under Mike Bellotti and it caught fire under Kelly/Helfrich. Granted other teams are doing it now, but the originator is still the reason a lot of new fans came aboard and watch college football, my wife is a perfect example of this. Now I realize Cristobal almost killed that BRAND, but I am confident in Lanning and Dillingham to understand and realize what they have and ensure it comes back.
Sure a bunch of other teams fans are going to hate on comments like this, but the fact is that numbers don't lie.
There is a report out there that shows that Oregon has the 7th largest national fanbase. That backs up everything you are saying. And yes the Ducks are undervalued because they do things differently and people don't understand that.
Not only do they not fully understand, but it actively foments hate from many. Change is tough on a lot of these people, or they are jealous, or they are tired of getting throttled by Oregon over the past 20+ years. Any way you shake it there seems to be a concerted effort to try to devalue Oregon relative to other schools like SC and UCLA....and apparently Rutgers, Maryland, Perdue etc. etc.
I am not buying it though. It's just more hate from ESPN and FOX and other fan bases.
