Let's do it.

I think the point was that college football is a far lesser version of the NFL in popularity. Outside of the South, it's not all that popular and the Nielsen numbers bear that out. In areas with an NFL team, the ratings are pedestrian at best for college football.

Professional sure.

Most advertising dollars spent..

1. Super Bowl
2. College Basketball Final Four

College Football is cute though. Especially in the south.

OR you could look at what people are actually watching. The NFL dominates and college football beats college basketball. Of course, I think we already knew that.

So now the number of viewers doesn't matter but the metric you want to use is advertising dollars spent? You really are a special kind of stupid.

What about advertising dollars spent per individual game/event?

After all, you're comparing a single game to 67 games spread out over the course of a few weeks.

Not exactly apples to apples...

Yes, the tourney does take in more money...but it takes a month and 60 plus games to do it. The super bowl makes its money in four hours.

Hypocritson strikes again.

The NCAA Basketball Championship game per minute is 2nd only to the Super Bowl. Read the link. Just like I said.

Don't be so idiotic.

The CBB crowd is a more affluent/higher brow type of fan. Thus advertisers care more about them than your average CFB fan.

The numbers don't lie.

It's in the link. You're right I should have wrote just the CBB NC Game as opposed to the entire Final Four.

Here it is specifically.

I suppose I was wrong on one tiny detail. The NFL Championship games bring in slightly more per minute.

But as you can see the comparison with college football isn't close.

Well, the fact that you have such a boner for CBB certainly shows that the bolded is a questionable opinion.

I don't run a multi billion dollar corporation that is paying to advertise their product during the CBB Championship game.

But whatever you want to believe is cool with me, this is America.

I just pulled it up and it says the NFL had 46 of the top 50 rated events while college football and college basketball had only 1 each. If you're arguing the NFL is more popular than either, that's already been said 1,000 times.


When they stripped out the NFL the top-50 was 16 college football and 7 college basketball. Kansas v North Carolina 2nd round outdrew the Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl. That's pathetic.

[RustShack]

You're delusional if you don't think college basketball is a money maker. Who cares what makes more? Both make schools a large profit.
