The Dayton television market is the eighth-best in the country when it comes to college basketball for the second straight year, according to research analyzed by ESPN. ESPN examined the 56 metered markets that carried its college basketball games in 2012-13, and ranked them by ratings.
Dayton’s 2.0 market share was only behind those of national champion Louisville (4.5), Greensboro, N.C. (3.1), Raleigh-Durham (3.0), Indianapolis (2.9), Kansas City (2.7), and both Cincinnati and Columbus (each had 2.1). Charlotte and a tie of Knoxville and Nashville rounded out the top 10.
This was the 11th year ESPN complied the data and Dayton has always been in the top 14 markets. The Miami Valley has been in the top 10 three straight years and four of the last six.
The Flyers had 26 games on television in 2012-13. The University has one of the strongest and most long-lasting local television packages in the nation. CBS affiliate WHIO-TV, the network’s number-one affiliate for total all-day viewership, has carried Dayton games since 1952 and it pre-empts network programming more than 10 times a year to carry Flyer basketball games.
Between the local package on WHIO, regional exposure on Fox Sports Ohio and Time Warner Cable SportsChannel, and national games on ESPN’s various platforms, CBS College Sports and NBC College Sports, UD airs between 25 and 30 games a year on one of the strongest and most unique television plans in college basketball.
Community support for University of Dayton basketball specifically and college basketball in general is a nationally-recognized phenomenon.
UD Arena has been among the national leaders in attendance since it opened in the 1969-70 season. In 2011-12, the Arena was 28th with an average of 12,154 fans a game. National attendance figures are not yet released for 2012-13, but UD averaged 12,438 fans a game last year.
Dayton is the annual home of the NCAA’s First Four, and last year’s games were sold out for the first time since the event’s inception in 2011. UD Arena has hosted games of the Division I Men’s Basketball Championship for 13 straight years, dating back to when it hosted Opening, First and second Round Games in 2001.
Dayton is not only where the Road to the Final Four begins. College basketball fans in the Miami Valley follow the tournament from start to finish. Dayton was the fifth-best market for viewership for the 2013 NCAA tournament, with a 15.3 share.
That great support travels as well. UD had the most fans of any out-of-town team at last year’s Charleston Classic, the Flyers’ championship run in the 2011 Old Spice Classic, and is expected to have the most fans at next season’s EA Sports Maui Invitational. Dayton has already pre-sold the most tournament packages among the eight-team Maui field that includes Arkansas, Baylor, Cal, Gonzaga, Minnesota, Syracuse and host Chaminade.

Last I heard, Dayton wasn't even a serious consideration.
Given all that's going on, I doubt expansion won't happen for years if at all, though.

How did Rutgers get into the B1G ahead of Dayton?

I don't think anyone sees interest in college basketball as a negative for Dayton.
As Mr. Butler fan stated earlier, this is a long ways from being relevant.

Big East Basketball is what it's always been. Great competition nightly.
If the Atlantic 10 didn't suck, why is everyone looking for the exits?
There is a reason why the A-10 left a team in the Central Time Zone...SLU, your move.

I've heard the same thing. Definitely not saying they won't get in, but at this point they are in third place for two potential spots.

Simple, Rutgers has football, Dayton does not.

Pardon my French, but I was being sarcastic.
The point I was trying to make implicitly is that there are other factors beyond college basketball market share.

honestly if you think Dayton isn't a serious contender for membership if the league goes to 12 then you need to go back and read the 9,000 millions posts previously posted on this board. That said the time for comparing the various contenders is over. Barring unforeseen changes Dayton, Richmond, and Slu will be in the A-10 next year and the BE will be starting with 10 teams. While unforseen and at time random changes are the norm in college realignment there is no reason to beat a dead horse.
