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... |

So back to facts, which is what this thread is built on. KC Star reports the latest revenue figures for area schools.
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) http://www.kansascity.com/2014/03/28...illion-in.html |

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