If CBS spent roughly 11 Billion (yes BILLION) for the March Madness TV rights it must be relevant to somebody. That was almost double the previous deal of 6 Billion so demand is moving up not down.

1. NFL
2. CFB
3. NBA
4. MLB
5. NHL
6. European Soccer
7. CBB

That's how I guess it would shake out if you polled people on their interest in various sports.

The fact that people cite professional sports as being more popular than an amateur sport as a reason that that sport is irrelevant has never made sense to me.

College football isn't nearly as big of a deal in the rest of the country as it is in the South, either. Professional sports on average are just more popular than college sports. But in terms of college sports, basketball is a clear #2 and the fact that much of this board dismisses it as a joke is a defense mechanism for its shitty basketball programs.
