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.www.sportico.com
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.
NBA still got the international audience so they're not really worries about this. And who said women's college ratings were that high? We only said they've been rising steadily because unlike the men's college game they have players you want to watch.
This. 100% this. As the NBA has become insanely skilled, NCAA hasn't come close to keeping up

The NBA Playoffs are also a tournament format, breh. Stop.
You actually made the nba playoffs sound more exciting than it actually isBecause March Madness is insanely popular. The single elimination bracket causes a level of unpredictability and tension that make it a fun product to watch.
March Madness is a 3-week single elimination tournament with only 10 days of games. NBA playoffs are a 3 month best of 7 tournament with like 50 days of games. They’re hardly comparable
There's levels to this stuff. Yet, for whatever reason there's always a schmuck who wants expansion, relegation, more shine for minor leagues.Why would they? They're not the NBA.
College isn't worried about the NBA.
CfB isn't skilled as the NFL.
CBB isn't as skilled as the MLB.
College track aint the Olympics.
There's a huge skill difference in every single sport between the pro and college level.
They aint special in pro basketball![]()
