So Greenville is a top market along with Atlanta? That's pretty strong nationally.

Somebody send this to the SEC office. It's not for USC either.

Not based on the metropolitan areas:
Columbia 767,598
Charleston (North Charleston,Summerville) 664,607
Greenville (Mauldin,Easley) 636,986
But Columbia is still larger.

Wonder if they count Greenville as the Greenville-Spartanburg-Asheville-Sometimes Anderson area. That'd make it bigger than Columbia

Where are Boston, New York, and Pittsburgh?

Oh wait, I forgot our commissioner has no idea that there's a difference between a big media market and a big media market that ACTUALLY WATCHES COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Several points: #1) Pittsburgh is on the list at 16.

#2) Wow. The ACC is well represented here:
Greenville at #4 is certainly Tiger Territory.
Atlanta at #5 is at least in-part GT land.
Greensboro at #12 is ACC country.
Charlotte at #12 is ACC country.
Pittsburgh at #16 is NOW ACC country.
Raleigh-Durham at #22 is ACC country.
Add in Richmond and the several Florida areas (we're the only major conference with two schools in Florida) and we're looking pretty good.
#3) Vegas is a bit misleading. They're aren't all watching UNLV.
#4) You can rag on Boston and New York, but even as we added schools that add those markets, I'm sure we knew that not everyone was college football crazy there. It's about the POTENTIAL of the market. Of course, I question if we have the leadership to grow the interest in those markets, but if we did, it would be huge. A conference with schools that would own the markets of Miami, Atlanta, Greenville, Charlotte, Richmond, DC, Baltimore, Pittburgh, New York City and Boston? Pretty crazy.
#4) Kind of speaks to Clemson being a more attractive location than people give us credit for. Greenville being a top 4 football viewing region is quite a statement.

Yeah I glossed over Pittsburgh

but I'd say that market is pretty split between Pitt, Penn State, WVU, and even Ohio State.
I don't think you're ever going to grow interest in New York, which is a pro sports town and has Syracuse competing with Rutgers and other local schools for attention.
Same for Boston, where BC is probably the second most popular college behind Boston U.
I could see Pittsburgh paying off if they got good again, but I don't think Syracuse or especially BC ever will.
