Abstract
It is a beautiful Saturday morning in October. You wake up and turn on your television to ESPN. It’s football season, and you have on your team’s gear, knowing that kickoff is just a couple hours away. As you begin to search for your team’s channel, you discover that your team won’t be airing on television today. Your team has been off to a great start, and today’s game might push you into the Associated Poll (AP) top 25 rankings. You then go to the team’s official website to figure out what channel is airing their game. The website says “ESPN+,” a paid subscription service offered by ESPN. This is a problem that is facing many collegiate football, baseball, and men and women’s basketball. This study explores the attractiveness of not only collegiate athletic conferences, but also the looks of a university when it comes down to being broadcasted
