Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 3397421, member: 7748"] So, the NCAA of course has data on attendance by sport by year by sport. A poster on the thread was disappointed by ASU attendance this last weekend. But, ASU was 41st in attendance among D1 schools last year, placing them in the top 15% of D1 schools for attendance. The in person data paints a clear picture - men's basketball at all levels has three times the in person attendance as women. At mega programs the ratio falls to two times. I wonder how this translates into revenue and what it might say about the largest part of the audience - TV and media streamers. We know that at the professional level, women have much worse working conditions and pay (10% on average?) compared to men and the argument is that this difference is due to revenue. That being the case, revenue must increase exponentially with viewership. Lots of interesting info in the NCAA data.
