I read comments from the NCAA a few years ago on this subject. I think it was in Sport Magazine, but I'm not sure. The decision to show which games in which areas are a combination of three things (in this order):
1) geographical proximity of the venue
2) balancing of markets to give regional advertisers an equal representation
3) requests from local affiliates
Back when NFL telecasts were more regionalized, I think they used the same formula, at least that's what someone from one of the local stations told me.
Conspicuous by its absence is the criteria "What the fans want".
Hey Mark, you seem to be on top of most subjects that I've read in the discussions and this one too. Thanks for that bit of knowledge and thanks for the feedback.
