You're not spreading a team around playing as much as 3-4 times in a week like they do for college basketball. If Kansas, Duke, UNC, Kentucky, etc all played on Saturday only 12 times the numbers would be much, much higher.
March rating are higher of course just like the NFL playoffs are higher than their regular season. N ot to mention that CBB playoffs have to go against better weather in the spring which makes it more difficult to keep people inside watching games.
College Football has all the benefits of prime TV viewing. Fact is that a few programs in both sports command big numbers. Otherwise 0-2.0 ratings are very common for everything. Just look at this years college football postseason.

The bolded is flat out not true. College Bowl games take place during the holiday season, where many people are busy with family, etc. March weather is uneven at best, and frankly, other than the NCAA, nothing else goes on in March, unless you want to count spring training baseball.
Another half truth from hypocritson...who knew?
