The title games and regular season games show much less concentration which I can re-post if you like. To your broader point about there being "overlap", yes. That's correct, I've stated as much. According to Harris Polling, people who watch college football tend to also watch college basketball at some significant level.

Let's be honest, Prison Bitch. Why did you cut off your list at top 20? Your link you provided showed the top
25 football markets, did it not? I would imagine you cut it off because the remaining cities did nothing but prove your assertion to be biased bullshit.
Let's look at the remaining cities you conveniently left out:
Cleveland
Raleigh
Detroit
Cincinnati
Richmond
Portland
Kansas City
Also of note...every one of those additional cities came in with a 2.0 average rating or higher. Which brings the list to 29 US cities from your source that average a better than 2.0 TV market for college football.
Refresher for you: Exactly 8 markets in college basketball do the same.
29>>>>>8
You're less troll than Bambi, but not by much.
