Yeah, if it's FSU-South Carolina, nobody is watching.

Having two of the best brands in college bball will help with the networks, but not that much. How often is either going to be on the conference network as opposed to the regular network anyway.

UNC-UK most watched elite 8 in 4 years. Gonzaga-Xavier not so much. -- HOO86 03/28/2017 4:57PM

I guess they could spin it to sell the network but it will not -- Colonel Jessup 03/29/2017 09:14AM

Power conferences rule and mid-majors drool. I think ESPN or CBS -- VTHokie2000 03/28/2017 5:15PM

Not a power conference thing. UNC & UK are biggest programs there are. -- chuckd4vt 03/28/2017 6:56PM

Wazzou vs. Miss State would still get better ratings than -- VTHokie2000 03/28/2017 8:57PM

South Carolina / Baylor got 1.0. Gonzaga's last two games crushed that -- Colonel Jessup 03/29/2017 09:27AM

As usual, you are spot on Colonel. Couldn't agree more. ** -- Calamitous 03/29/2017 1:10PM

I wasn't basing it on just 1 game. Although both Gonzaga and Xavier -- VTHokie2000 03/29/2017 10:09AM

Those articles weren't comparing lower P5 programs -- Colonel Jessup 03/29/2017 5:24PM

Yes, you are correct that is usually the case ** -- VTHokie2000 03/29/2017 5:35PM

That's debatable. Gonzaga seems to draw like the old BE schools** -- Calamitous 03/29/2017 06:10AM

Didn't Gonzaga just do lowest in 20 years for an elite 8? What's to debate? -- Stech 03/29/2017 07:21AM

Fair enough. -- Calamitous 03/29/2017 1:05PM

UNC-UK was up 5% over last year. The game last year had Gonzaga vs Duke. -- reestuart 03/29/2017 5:14PM

If the numbers for the UF-USC game weren't great, then how much -- VTHokie2000 03/29/2017 5:13PM

I edited while you were replying. Their numbers were actually decent. -- reestuart 03/29/2017 5:16PM

UF/USC & UNC/KY were on CBS. Gon/Xav & KU/OU on TBS -- Colonel Jessup 03/29/2017 5:36PM

Yeah, they'll get a boost from being the only game on, -- reestuart 03/29/2017 6:16PM

Even though I referenced a specific game, I was also thinking -- VTHokie2000 03/29/2017 5:28PM

Good question? The tourney may be a little different from -- reestuart 03/29/2017 5:35PM

Even if the NCAAT is slightly different than the BCS, would it be -- VTHokie2000 03/29/2017 5:42PM

I just think the two postseasons are vastly different. Football -- reestuart 03/29/2017 6:14PM

Wish VT had a couple of the Zags big men. ** -- hokie4ever 03/29/2017 10:46AM

Yeah, if it's FSU-South Carolina, nobody is watching.
