Iowa v LSU viewership

[Anonymous]

Another sport to watch is women’s volleyball.

Viewership is up and they’re selling out stadiums.

It’s honestly really exciting to watch.

Everything after the “but” is irrelevant BS. The girl was treated horribly. Racist slurs. Death threats. Nothing -NOTHING- about any of her actions warrants that.

It's not irrelevant at all. Nobody is justifying racist slurs, but she brought a lot of hate on herself with her behavior and actions, which were her choice. Both can be true.

Just remember Caitlin is unstoppable (or whatever her ad's catch line is). Granted she's never won, but the black stars on the winning teams aren't marketable.

They were actually both very marketable. Angel Reese has millions of dollars worth of deals as does Caitlin Clark.

Don’t make this another Brittany versus Christina Aguilera saga .

They’re both amazing, and they’re both millionaires

How many ads does Kamilla Cardoso have? SC is on a pace to win two national championships in 3 years and gets a fraction of the press that Iowa gets

Maybe the other players should score as many points per game if they want the same level of attention.

That's hard when the other players on the team have talent. Iowa doesn't have that problem

So hard! We totally could do it but for reasons... don't.

She transferred from Syracuse and wasn’t part of all of the championships though she was part of last year’s.

Aaliyah Boston on the other hand who is the heart and soul of the University of South Carolina’s championship teams is worth $2 million and has an Adidas deal.

MiLaysia Fulwiley Is the Freshman rising star for the u of sc.

She has Nil deals worth $300K just her freshman year.

The same can be said of the mens side. Mens college basketball might as well not exist outside of one weekend

Newsflash: the US pretty much only cares about football. Basketball, hockey, and baseball are niche sports. You're comparing who wins a distant 2nd place to the NFL, lol.
On a terrible weekend the NFL averages over 17M viewers per game. That's not even counting the playoffs or super bowl.

And yes, you're right, overall CBB might not as well exist at all except for march madness. People only watch excuse they love gambling.

Except women’s, World Cup had more viewers than NFL football. Sorry, not sorry.

Ha! Not even close. The women's world cup had 82M viewers. A far distant second to the Super Bowl which had 113M viewers. Stop making crap up.

Iowa's 94-87 victory over LSU in the Elite Eight of the women's NCAA tournament Monday night averaged 12.3 million viewers on ESPN

Iowa-LSU outdrew all but one of the five games in last year's NBA Finals, along with the clinching game of last year's World Series (11.48 million).

It’s a novelty. Every few years there will be a great story like the Iowa player and casual fans will tune in. But it’s not sustainable. It never has been.

Nope. The sport is growing. The NCAA did a study with Women’s softball to see if viewership would increase if they increased marketing.

Now women’s softball earns more money than almost all men’s sports except for football and basketball.

And softball and baseball are boring.

Every 10 years we go through this exercise. You tell us, “but this time it’s different!” But it always ends the same way. Zzzzz

Women’s basketball has grown 127% so no not zzzz

Women’s sports is growing. Nobody wants his men’s tennis and everybody watches women’s tennis.

Olympics is the greatest example men’s gymnastics nobody watches women’s gymnastics breaking records

I LOVE watching women’s golf.

Right. And despite millions of deep pocketed suburban fans women’s professional soccer is still not economically viable.

You’re right the Taylor Swift Super Bowl beat women’s World Cup. A woman had to save the NFL, you’re welcome. No other Super Bowl beat women’s World Cup though.

Youre welcome

Women’s soccer and men’s soccer pretty much get the same viewership.

Angel Reese's earnings will likely go down in the WNBA. at LSU she made over 1MM.

My father, age 80, is a retired high school athletic director and a very successful boys' basketball coach. He was never much interested in girls' sports, I'm sorry to say, even when I was playing them. But as the quality of play in girls'/women's athletics has improved, he has come to be a huge fan. For him, women's college softball and basketball are appointment viewing, and he also likes women's soccer. It's been really gratifying to watch him grow into an unabashed fan. It's very interesting to see how it's changed his view of women generally. My old dad has become something of a feminist!
