Agreed.
But there’s a lot more hoops inventory. Kentucky basketball plays 3x the games Kentucky FB does. In aggregate it narrows the #s a lot. Plus FB has to go up against the NFL in the fall whereas hoops is a dead period or programming from Jan-March.
I ran the numbers a few years back from SportsMediaWatch and found about 850M viewers for college football season. 600M for college hoops (225m or so for March Madness alone. )
But those count too, and still it’s <1/2 of total eyeballs for a hoops season
