Your quote "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."

You take PGM, you and Bambi's Mizzou doppleganger, saying this is a football country, to mean that college football is equal in popularity to the NFL. Please explain how you make that jump?

And furthermore, is that statement he made incorrect? Is football not the most popular sport in the US? I don't think that has anything to do with CBB vs CFB, but I'd like to hear your explanation as to how he's wrong.

Yes he is wrong equating the two football forms. One is extremely popular nationwide, the other is a regional interest with a following very similar in size to college basketball.

There are schools that get 10,000+ per basketball game that don't even have a scholarship football program (many of the Big East schools, Gonzaga, Wichita State, Dayton, etc.) Some schools who have both just have a stronger basketball culture.

Missouri State's men's basketball consistently draws better than football, and even the women's team clears the football season average a few games a season. We had 11,000 in JQH for Wichita State in January. I can't remember the last time we had 11,000 at Plaster Stadium. There are various reasons for this - our basketball program was highly successful through the 90s, and we had some of the strongest teams rejected by the NCAA Tournament Committee in the 00s; our football team has historically been crap, the Ozarks are a generally poor and rural region, so area high schools turned to basketball because it was cheaper and required less people to play, thus breeding a basketball culture...

**** you for comparing me to such nitwits

It is a football country. NFL is king though.

Tens of millions of people say it is on a much higher level than coin flip ball

You know that is not true, yet you keep spewing it. blake pretty much debunked your whole point in one post. Quit lying and just accept facts.

Lying is literally all that he has.

So back to facts, which is what this thread is built on. KC Star reports the latest revenue figures for area schools.

Year KU / MU
2007 64.2 / 56.4
2008 83 / 55.6
2009 70 / 63.1
2010 70.5 / 61.1
2011 74.9 / 63.1
2012 70.2 / 50.7
2013 93.1 / 76.3
Total 525.9 / 426.3

KU recognized some prepaid donations in 2013 which increased their total, while MU's move to the SEC boosted their revenues after having their Big 12 money withheld in 2012 for leaving.

(Note: This does not include Football this fall or basketball this Spring as cutoff is Summer 2013)

Central Missouri has twice as many ncaa basketball championships as Mizzou LMAO

Unless I missed something :shrug:

Would you look at that, half the Final Four come from that horrible, horrible basketball conference.

SEC put the clown shoes on the twin dipshits

Unpossible

Looks like you'll have to give not one but two standing O's in Mizzou Arena next year.

Link to the first one? Lying buffoon.
