Mizzou played in the SEC championship on the same day as Texas-Baylor, the PAC championship, the B1G championship, and the ACC and MWC championship games. Many overlapping, across 4 different network channels. I don't think it's that surprising at all, actually.
Does it surprise you that the other Elite Eight game on the same day had nowhere near the numbers that the second one did? Or that the two other EE games the previous day were also much lower?
Btw, KU's biggest television draw for the entire season was 2.98 million, when they played another "blue blood" in Duke. That works out to almost FIVE times as many people watching the Mizzou regular season game when compared to Kansas I believe. Weird  |
Perhaps college football should consider spreading out their games better so they could equal College Basketball's viewership numbers and ad dollars.
