💬 Here's an interesting chart showing the proportion of X followers between each SEC school's MBB and Football programs.

Is this a reflection of interest or content?

It's the number of followers who have interest in the content.

Pretty surprising to me. I felt our basketball would have increased a ton.

@TerryP we think it's the same marketing team pushing the feeds?

Are you talking about the content itself? It's individual per sport for those two. The only social media guy I can recall being publicly mentioned is Nathan Sheehan with his posts on X about softball. He's on the volleyball feed as well. (Alex ______ is the communications guy for football. Gonzales is the guy for basketball and I can't think of his first name.) The ADD probably posts some since he's directly affiliated with football communications. He has his fingers in golf communications as well as AAD.

I can't speak for the articles written on the official site. They could be all one person since the site is bad on all sports.

Damn, "content" was the word on the tip of my tongue I couldn't get out. Yes, wasn't sure if it was one group providing content or different ownership of each sport. Basically trying to learn if the content matches each other and maybe that's a reason for such a difference in followers or if we just don't have the interest maybe I thought we did.

If you have the time look the followers list of say OU vs Bama. It might give you an idea.

I'd be interested to see these numbers spread around a staff. IE: How many are following Preston but not following Alabama basketball? Same content.

FWIW, Bama has a few more MBB followers on IG than they do on Twitter... 204K on IG. Football is 1.5 million.
