Annual Reminder that College Basketball is a trash product

[IGSaint12]

I think the biggest reason why the women's game has seen such a huge rise in ratings is because the men's game has gotten so bad in quality.

I think Kobe liked the women's game a lot more because of this reason.

Do u have proof ratings have gone up?

 

[Uitomy]

I blame the coaches, they train too ridgedly and don’t push the star power of their best players.

March Madness: Women's tournament first and second round ratings up significantly in 2023

ESPN saw a 28% increase in viewership from 2022.

I probably seen three hundred fast breaks with 3 on 1 and nikkas Jack up 3s

This will be the one thing they'll make me break my TV one day, I swear...

The only time I want to see a 3 being shot on a 3-1 break is only if Dame, Klay, or Steph are shooting it. I'm not trying to see a kid from Bumblefukk University brick a 3 during a fast break while the coach just stands there silently praying that an assistant coach job opens up somewhere in the pros. College ball is definitely harder to watch, especially if you're an old head like myself.

And yet

2022 TV Recap: It’s the NFL’s World; the Rest of Us Just Live in It

Pro and college football games accounted for 87 of the 100 most-watched TV broadcasts of 2022.

Men's basketball tournament broadcasts appear twice on the 100 most watched programs in this country in 2022. No NBA games and no women's college games made the list.

I appreciate the hustle, game planning, defined positions and overall scrappiness of the college game.

I don’t see how you can complain about the state of college basketball when the NBA ain’t no better. 30 3s no matter who’s playing. Passing up easy buckets to shoot more 3s. Flopping, traveling - it’s as shyt of a product as college if that’s the case but what can you do

 

[Buckeye Fever]

I like Miami because their coach let's them dudes play.

There is too much micromanaging in college basketball. If they allowed the coach to walk side by side with the point guard and give instructions, they'd love that shyt.

 

[PortCityProphet]

You can bet on the NBA too but ratings are down

Bro these nba cats here are the most disingenuous folks on the internet next to twitter hoes
NFL ratings up-well gambling
CBB ratings up-well gambling
Shuffleboard ratings up-well gambling

Like the nba can't be gambled on and like degenerate gamblers stay away from that league
All nba viewers watch out of the pure pureness of their heart and love for the game of basketball

And they wonder why I gotta keep these kid sized feet on their necks year round cause somebody gotta burst their bubble and bring them into reality

I hate when casuals chime in on the quality of a sport they don't actually watch.

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Then live with the "quality"

That’s crazy. Don’t watch because of the quality of play yet bet during the tournament. No wonder Vegas stays building more casinos. World is full of pimps and hoes

 

[Hollywood Co]

Threads like this prove that folks don’t actually enjoy the game of basketball. I enjoy every level of basketball and yes that means your going to see various levels of skill from the players, coaches and refs but that sports in general.

Game to Game, there’s plenty of lackluster play in NBA games too particularly from D. Fox’s squads until recently.

The Kings haven’t been a good product to watch until literally this season and this cat can’t watch college games?

 

[#1 pick]

It’s always been trash. it’s just the NBA kind of mirrored it.

NBA has gone to another galaxy the last decade while college is still the same.

This. 100% this. As the NBA has become insanely skilled, NCAA hasn't come close to keeping up
