It's silly to look at those numbers in relation to all the other ones listed. beIN is the only "network" on the list that is not a widely available channel.

We did 670k for the Iowa game a week before, which of course had a lot to do with Iowa, but a lot to do with being on ESPN 2 as well.

Bein is not a widely available station, it is mainly known for soccer and cricket. I too was pleased with the quality of the broadcast, Donavan McNabb actually did homework on the teams unlike any ESPN crew.  The pre-game and halftime show were well done also.

Yeah I  watch a ton of soccer so I have and know BeIN sports well. Still 5K is tiny. I know they view this all as an investment into getting into CFB and probably a loss leader for a while but still.

Meh...it was a home game.   Just wait until they carry one of our away games ;-).   Agree with the earlier comments that the production was top-notch.  Really good camera work and announcers.

Never heard of BEIN until last year.  Face it people, we need to be on one of the ESPN or CBS Sports Networks.  And I don't mean ESPN3.  The CUSA Commissioner needs to do something in getting Conference games telecast on real TV.

OK, I have Spectrum.  I have not seen the BeIn channel anywhere.....where would I find it?  That may be why viewership is not strong on this channel....and the fact I was at the game.....

I have Spectrum (dies a little inside). It is on an additional tier. For me, it was a sports+ tier.

On Uverse, Bein is in a sports package you have to pay extra for.  And I believe you can only get it if you have their highest channel tier.

Something to be aware of is that TV ratings are not exactly reliable, despite how industry folks view them. I would trust them even less based on the niche program that we are looking at.

Is it better to rate BeIn based on how many carriers offer them similar to recruiting?

I wonder if they have the ability to pick up the number of people who watched after recording.

If they're able to detect the number of devices listening to the channel on the network, then recording devices would count at time of game as they're an actively-listening device. It would not count people watch watch the recording post-game.

Could be.

I don't know that they can detect who it listening. Even if they could, the DVR issue has been around for awhile now. Viewing is measured at the time it is viewed. If someone records a program and never watches it, then they don't count.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
