Ad revenue again 
That is wrong.
Ads are sold in advance.

You've provided no evidence other than someone you talked to.  Weak.

Evidently you think the NCAA somehow violates the laws of supply and demand.  This could be a dissertation topic.

I have an industry veteran who described to me how ad buying and selling works for top rated television and a comp in the NFL and how they sell for their big stage events.  This informed my position.

You have what you think.

Who do you know in the television business?  Where is your comp?

You talk out of your ass.
Sorry ...but that is what weak is.

There's such a thing as sensitivity in pricing.  All of your examples logically have low sensitivity.  College sports has high sensitivity.  I have no idea who this person is, so I'm pretty comfortable with my 25 years of corporate business leadership in this one. You believe what you wish.  Sure,  the teams have zero effect on eyeballs.  Right.

Silly 
I should expect nothing different after the Cleveland Indians should change their name to The Tribe silliness.  You make a statement and stand by it no matter what.

I'm also a corporate executive.  Big deal. This doesn't mean I know about television and advertising.

 My wife has worked in TV since the 90s and used to sell TV shows to foreign markets....and in the past 10+ years has worked in a producer level position on two shows that ranked in top 5 for many years for network show ratings.  She knows how ad sales work and has an actual basis for an opinion.

The NFL sets the gold standard for how the Super Bowl ads are sold.  They sell as much as they possibly can in advance.

So yeah, I'm gonna go with your option.

I guess NBC were idiots when they struck that extended contract with Notre Dame. I'm shocked they didn't sign Texas A&M instead,  since according to your logic,  there's no value difference between A&M and ND. It's a pity they didn't consult you,  they could have avoided such a disaster. 

F Me In The Brain

Not an argument that is comparable.  NBC knows ND is bankable and they can sell the brand for advertising....so they make that deal 
That is not the same thing as the CFP picking the final four and wanting ND in there so that they can sell ads.

F Me In The Brain

Enjoy your victory - glad OSU won this game.  

CFP did not pick ND to try and sell ads they were already selling as quickly as they could.

Worse officiated team for the sugar bowl I have ever seen. Not one holding flag when 2 guys tackle a defender. That fumble call was total bs.

He didn't have control.  It was pinned to his hip.

So can we discuss actual football and how bad ND is in big time games and how fake their regular season actually is?

Clemson looks lost.  

OSU looks very well prepared.

Clemson is lost. Poor offensive play calls because they’re OC is out. And too many blown defensive plays. The holding on every single play and not a single flag doesn’t count. Don’t think Clemson would win the way they are playing, but would be a close game.

The first one? Wasn’t at his hip. Had is hand on it, on the ground, and they ripped it from his hand. He was laying in the ground, play was over, when they ripped it from him. Somehow counts as a fumble though.

Yeah, and then had his hand on it. Ball on the ground, hand on it, ball not moving, hand not moving. I don’t understand why that isn’t a dead play and recovered fumble.

Solid play all throughout. Congrats Buckeyes. Well earned.
