ChiefsPlanet - MU ****The Official NEW new new conference realignment & shit talk thread****

Of course the college football games are going to be rated higher during the regular season. THERE ARE 12 OF THEM.

You're not spreading a team around playing as much as 3-4 times in a week like they do for college basketball. If Kansas, Duke, UNC, Kentucky, etc all played on Saturday only 12 times the numbers would be much, much higher.

March rating are higher of course just like the NFL playoffs are higher than their regular season. Not to mention that CBB playoffs have to go against better weather in the spring which makes it more difficult to keep people inside watching games.

College Football has all the benefits of prime TV viewing. Fact is that a few programs in both sports command big numbers. Otherwise 0-2.0 ratings are very common for everything. Just look at this years college football postseason.

The bolded is flat out not true. College Bowl games take place during the holiday season, where many people are busy with family, etc. March weather is uneven at best, and frankly, other than the NCAA, nothing else goes on in March, unless you want to count spring training baseball.

Another half truth from hypocritson...who knew?

The NBA is in full swing right now, as is the NHL. That's some real stiff competition for March Madness.

There is also another textbook candidate out there for Minnesota to chase with longstanding Wolves ties: Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg.

Widely regarded as the most NBA-ready college coach in the game, Hoiberg was a Wolves executive for four years before leaving the pros to coach the Cyclones. It should be noted that Saunders is close with Michigan State's Tom Izzo as well, but the rumbles out of 'Sota are getting louder that the Wolves are going to court Hoiberg hard should they, as expected, have an opening.

An opening, rather, that Saunders declines to fill himself.

And all of that makes Friday one of the more pertinent days left on the 2013-14 calendar for long-suffering Wolves fans.

That's because Hoiberg will be coaching Iowa State against UConn in a Sweet 16 game at Madison Square Garden ... and because Saunders will be there watching.

College football won't expand popularity if one quadrant (and one small group of teams therein) win all the time.

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.

Captain Dumbsh*t......YOU are the one who tried to use "warmer March temperatures" as a reason for lack of basketball interest.

I love the dipshits who keep posting that basketball is more popular than football.

Only two rounds in the tourney have been played and the NCAA Tournament is averaging a 6.0 rating. AVERAGING…

Only the BCS Bowls had a higher rating in 2013. And we still aren't even to the climax of the CBB season.

This argument was over before it began…

It's not. Pro Football is more popular than Pro Basketball.

College Basketball is more popular than College Football.

No matter how many times you explain to them that the NFL is in a league of it's own popularity-wise, and the NBA/CFA/CBB are miles behind it (and pretty close to each other anyway), they still won't learn.

The reason is simple: they hate KU basketball. That's all there really is to it. Simply downgrade the popularity of basketball, and you downgrade KU's achievements therein. They're only fooling themselves.

Once you've achieved greatness it's very difficult to stop thinking about it.

Nationwide Mutual, Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Mercedes, Nissan, Volkswagen, AT&T, Capitol One, etc spend much much more money on CBB because those are the customers that have value.

Holy shit u are a buffoon ROFL
