The first 3 games this year did draw better than the first 3 national TV games last year. The first 3 national TV games last year were: VS. USC, November 26, on espn 2: 288,000 viewers, vs. SLU, December 5 on espnu: 61,000 viewers and UNLV at home on espn 2: 415,000 viewers on December 9. The total viewers for those 3 games was 714,000. Based on the numbers provided above, the first 3 games this year drew 1,255,000 viewers. That is a huge increase. It does help that all 3 games this year have been on espn or espn 2, while 1 of the 3 games last year was on espnU. Also I am sure that SLU is not as good a draw as Louisville regardless of the channel the game is on.
