Here is what I don't get on the TV$ side. The much vaunted FSU football team only outdrew 1.1 on three occassions, yet that is the rating that our women's team gets for the Sweet 16 or really just some regular season games (

And in 2011 our final four numbers (both against Butler and UK) beat every college event except the Rose Bowl and the Championship game:

Where is the respect..and more importantly the money?
