Womens College Basketball had higher TV ratings than Men CBB this year

[2legit]

The Caitlyn Clark effect. I told yall that Womens CBB passed Mens CBB this year.

... on FOX.

What about the other channels like CBS? ESPN?

That's dope for the women, good to see people tapping in to their sport

 

[Tony D'Amato]

More star power

Men’s college basketball has sucked for years.

The regular season is buns and we only care about March madness for the gambling with the brackets. The actual games are trash

that's for one network, Fox and that number is built up by Clark who is one of the biggest stories in sports right now, not just college ball. I said it in the CBB season thread but the top teams in the men's game have offenses that are way more entertaining to watch than in previous years, folks are just falling in line with a narrative when they say how unwatchable the product is.

I would imagine it’s not that much different, the Women’s game has a better product at the moment

Not surprising. Men's CBB is complete ASS. It's been a terrible product the last several years. To make matters worse, this is a year where there's no definite star college player to watch. Last year we had Brandon Miller and the Thompson twins, but this year it's been a whole bunch of nothing. No one cares about Men's CBB until the tournament. Men's CBB hasn't been compelling since the year Zion & Ja Morant dominated headlines. Maybe it gets better when Flagg and Boozer's son come up to CBB, but it's really hard to get excited or care about the men's side of that sport at the moment.

It wouldn't shock me if Caitlyn Clark's games in the tourney out-rate some of the games in the men's tourney. She is must-see TV at the moment. Zion was the last CBB star where every game was like a rock concert.

Remember Duke/Maryland games on Monday nights on ESPN? Men's game fell off HARD.

they were at Overtime Elite.

Men’s basketball stuck in the stone age with old rules and no exciting teams or players.

Still playing 70-65 games with 2 halves like its 1984 instead of 2024.

Being from SC, me and my fam have watched almost every womens gamecocks game and will do so in the tournament as well.
