Will be the worst and most flawed NCAA champ in history, college basketball was truly down this year

Are you serious? And if Kentucky won today it would have been legit? Oh please.

College Ball is not what it use to be

I kind of agree. The NBA's been raping the NCAA talent pool for years, and this is what we get. It's been a good tournament though, but college ball was down all around. Pac-10 sucked this year. Look what happened to the Big East in the tournament.

95% of America's brackets are bird cage liner now. So that takes out most casual viewers. West Virginia is a good team, but no one cares about WV outside of WV. While Butler is a nice story, they won't grab the viewers. If Duke gets knocked out the ratings will suffer severely. Go compare this year to the year all four #1's made the final 4. Chalk = viewers.

Unless you own CBS stock who the fukk cares if the ratings suffer? Maybe it will help in the future so we won't have to go through hudred of commercial breaks during the game.

If you are a college basketball fan, you should root for low ratings this year..... maybe then the NCAA won't opt out of their TV deal and won't expand to 96 teams.

A huge majority of people that watch the ncaa tournament don't know much about college basketball to begin with. They are in it for the excitement and because it is "whats hot" right now and everyone is doing it. Asking this dumb ass question is like asking will anyone watch the Superbowl because their favorite team isn't in it.

I hope WVU destroys Duke, if they make it to the FF. Arizona made the Super Bowl last year. Very good ratings. If it is a WVU, Tennessee, Baylor, Butler Final four it will still be ok. Duke doesn't make or break this game. Most people see all of Duke in a lifetime during the regular season.

If Butler is playing in the NC----the ratings will be huge....
Come on? Butler? That would be the best story in college sports in a very very long time.
Butler will be basically playing at home----it is going to be a lot of fun watching them next weekend.

I would rather watch these teams than the big names. I get sick of watching the same fukkin teams every year. Same with college football. Who wants to watch UNC, Duke, UConn, UCLA every year? That shit gets old. Thats why this tournament is so great. I would love to watch Baylor vs. Butler for the national championship!

i will probably watch it a little bit,but i don't have the normal interest in like i always do.ill be honest here,im not to high on any of the teams left as far as not wanting to miss watching them.i know one thing,the only thing im hopeing for is that duke loses then i don't care what happens from there.i won't lose any sleep because of it meaning i most likely won't watch the whole champonship game if anyof it......thats just my take on it from here on in
