This is a stupid conversation anyway since as Bambi notes, these numbers aren't big anyway. Bammy still generates much more overall revenue via ticket sales (nearly all from football). All this says is what apparel companies think of the brands - and top hoops schools have huge deals. #basketballDoesntMatter

College Basketball advertising revenue dominates College Football so it would make sense that this principle extends to apparel branding.

Teams like Mizzou are very interchangeable with others in Football, they are the third most popular "Tigers" in their conference alone…that's actually seems quite difficult to achieve, but they do it.

Mizzou's value is in their tv sets, not accomplishments on the field.

Iowa State literally has no value at all being that they have a very low population, the 2nd most popular school in their state, and virtually nothing to note when it comes to athletic achievement.

You could add a couple more bottom feeders to get back to 12 teams, and then the conference would essentially be the mountain west plus Oklahoma.

Yeah. I doubt many teens are buying Bammy jerseys or cleats.

Repped.

Mizzou's only value was that they were one of only 2 schools available for the SEC to choose. It was them or West Virginia. That isn't exactly a high hurdle to clear.

This has to be a lie. Or a made up link. According to the earlier discussions in this thread it the conclusion to be drawn was that advertisers AND apparel companies care more about basketball schools. Their logic being that if you follow the $$$ from the link posted earlier, apparel companies think basketball schools are more important.

And then there is this list, where you have to go down to the 10th school before you find North Carolina, the highest ranked basketball school on the list.

So weird.

I count 40 Final Fours in the top ten of this list alone.

Alabama and A&M are the only ones with zero appearances but they have BCS victories.

SEC Network helps exposure for Mizzou's volleyball:

Missouri volleyball team ready for SEC Network exposure

Wednesday, August 20, 2014 | 10:02 p.m

COLUMBIA — The Missouri volleyball program is ready for the small screen.

Wednesday night’s annual Black and Gold intrasquad scrimmage provided fans a glimpse of a team that went 35-1 and set team records in several categories. It also allowed players a chance to kick off a new era in Missouri volleyball — one that takes place on national TV.

With the launch of the SEC Network on Aug. 14, the No. 15 Missouri volleyball team will see a rise in the number of times it appears on television, and that exposure will only amplify the national presence of the team and the sport.

Missouri coach Wayne Kreklow, who said he was pleased with his team's performance in the scrimmage, said the SEC Network allows his team to be seen in different geographic areas.

"Any time you can get on TV — and we've been fighting that for years — all you have to do is get volleyball on TV more and have more people see it," Kreklow said. "I think the fan base — not just here, but everywhere — is going to grow because I think it's a very exciting game to watch."

Of the 40 volleyball games the SEC Network has scheduled to broadcast this fall, 10 of them will feature the Tigers. At least five more are scheduled to be available online through the network’s streaming services, including ESPN3.

According to Missouri volleyball's schedule, some of the Tigers' TV matchups will be against formidable SEC opponents, including No. 10 Florida and No. 19 Kentucky.

The Tigers were picked to finish third in the preseason SEC poll, as voted by the league’s coaches. All-Americans Carly Kan and Whitney Little were Preseason All-SEC picks.

Missouri senior middle blocker Whitney Little, who finished the scrimmage with six kills for the Gold team, said the SEC Network would make it easier for her friends and family in Texas to watch games.

Little also said the network could aid the program's recruiting process. For instance, the Tigers have two Hawaiian players on their roster, defensive specialist Kan and setter Loxley Keala, who have never seen a Missouri volleyball game on TV before now.

"I feel it's just a great advantage for us as a team, and you never know who's watching," Little said. "I'm sure people are going to watch that, and it's going to make them realize they could be playing on TV."

Above all, Kreklow said the network can only make the game of volleyball more enjoyable for people.

"People really enjoy being a part of (the volleyball experience)," Kreklow said. "The more we can get that out there, the better off we're going to be as a sport, not just us."

Missouri’s first match is against Mississippi Valley State on Aug. 29 at the North Texas Invitational. Its first SEC Network game will be at home Sept. 28 against Tennessee.
