It makes me wonder how much better the ratings would be if St Johns and Georgetown were leading the standings.
There would be a bump, no doubt. One of the best strengths of our current league is the prestige of our programs and our respective passionate fan bases. We are continuing to sell out MSG for the BET for the later games, and the opening games are definitely increasing in attendance as well. Our season home attendance, driven by our large arenas, is another great strength of our conference. Unfortunately, for other smaller and weaker conferences that have smaller fan support, smaller arenas and programs that simply cannot contend for a tournament appearance once per decade, this is just another example of selectively choosing facts that appear to close the substantial and wide gap between the have's and the have-not's.
