The lastest rankings came out today for TV markets:
Other than Houston blowing by both Atlanta & Boston to move up to #8 in the rankings, there's not much movement up at the top. Although I love seeing Austin move past Vegas. Roanoke-Lynchburg sits at #67 one notch in front of an NFL city (albeit just Green Bay). Why is that significant, it is a relatively strong market size for conferences look to add schools. Market size is not the driver of realignment like it was 5 years ago, but it still factors in. Other markets of note for our regular posters on here:
