Combination:
1. Bad time! I realize game always on Monday, but not as appealing as a weekend. Too late! Why couldn't they tip at 7p Central? Half of America and most kids in bed after 9pm on East Coast.

2. The trend away from live viewing. I think we are going to continue to see a downtrend in viewership for big games as people move toward streaming and On-Demand. Less incentive to take time out day and sit down to watch when can watch on delay with no commercials or when convenient.

3. Lack of teams with large viewership. A lot is being made of the "No Bluebloods" but that misses the point and I don't think is the issue. The average viewer likes cinderellas and underdogs as much as big names, maybe more. The issue was that all 4 teams in the Final Four have small dedicated viewerships (including UConn even though we are a "blueblood). Other than alumni and locals to the universities, UConn, SDSU, Miami, and FAU don't have large casual fanbases.
