And I know that this will get all kinds of eye rolling from my Jayhawk fiends, but college basketball doesn't have much competition in way of other sports. The NBA is boring compared to college, and hockey just doesn't have the draw (even though they have rabid fans). College BB is really about the only thing going on then. Not sure that's much of a compliment.

College Basketball earns more advertising revenue than anything in sports except the NFL.
All sports find their time of year. The only time you see real "competition" is when the World Series is forced to go against the NFL.
Everything else puts their major events on nights/times there won't be much to compete against.
