Football dwarves basketball at almost every school. If it didn't, the Big East wouldn't have fallen apart.


I wasn't speaking of popularity, I was speaking of the tv contracts for the conferences in football are so large, that it has become the priority in the decisions made by the conferences and each school's athletic departments. Just because the championship basketball game had more viewers than the football one did, doesn't mean the football games don't get more viewers.

The NCAA tournament contract is in the billions. That's just the tournament. Football makes money. It has more viewers. The stadiums are huge. We get it


I'm just saying people care more about basketball than you think. It makes money too. Kentucky does fine. So does Duke. Basketball are huge money makers for those schools
