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.
For most of the country, there is a 3 week period of the year when they are watching a lot of college hoops. In March there isnt much else to watch.

Football drives revenue and it drives television contracts and conference realignment as a result. Basketball is the second most important sport in the collegiate ranks, obviously
