Message: [QUOTE="MU in MKE, post: 4077996, member: 9984"] Huggins tells us everything we need to know about his point of view when he said: "Those Cinderella schools are putting 200 people, at best, in their gym," Huggins said. "We're putting 14,000." He demonstrates that he has no idea what drives the casual or non-fan to the tournament. Big schools draw the fans to seats and viewership during the year, but come tournament time you get way more viewership from casual fans and people who don't follow college BB at all. A major conference program may not care about a small program losing out during the year, but they'll see the real consequences come tournament time. Once again though, this shows how FB $$ is ruining college athletics and tradition. (his original point of view is how schools don't see the big money from the tournament and basketball often helps pay for FB programs... so they need the revenue). [/QUOTE]
