The NFL continued its domination of the live sports charts last week, while controversy surrounding the Michigan college football team helped Fox draw more than nine million viewers to its coverage of the Wolverines’ Big Ten Conference battle against Penn State.
The November 11 Fox telecast, which saw Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh suspended by the Big Ten Conference before the start of the game over the team’s alleged sign-stealing, averaged 9.15 million viewers, the sixth college football game to top 9 million viewers this season, according to Nielsen numbers published by SportsMedia Watch.
