Well said. I agree with your post here in its entirety. I don't intend to equte them 50-50, only to say they are much closer than re-alignment has led some folks (typically MU fans) to believe. That said you should post more on this thread since you make actual arguments supported by fact. It's almost weird reading it. |

The basketball CCG was on network television and drew 20.9 million viewers. The football CCG was on cable and drew 26.4 million.
That's more than a 26% spread for a game on a channel that is only available in 86% of households. Yeah. College football is more popular, and it's not close. The tournament is the greatest gimmick in sports, but it doesn't compare to football.

Super Bowl: 108m NCAAF: 26m NCAAB: 21m NCAA baseball: 1m You are quite correct when you say the Tourney doesn't compare to football - PRO football that is. Your cable vs network broadcast availability argument you just barfed up might be a low point.....even for you. |

That's pretty much every SEC school except Kentucky and Florida, although they are still not that popular considering all the success they've had. Alabama's basketball team might as well not even exist because noone in the state cares the least bit about basketball.

I love the no one cares about basketball argument. It's so refreshing.

Good thing Weis has that recruiting class coming in then. I'll be pissed when there's no more basketball to root for.

Plenty of people care. I'm one of them. It's just that very few care as much as they do about football.

That 7th best class in the Big 12 should really be something special. Congrats on 47th best in the nation. Even though it's worse than any team in the SEC, that's pretty good for Kansas.

Better hope they don't follow the B1G's lead and drop FCS schools.
