Surprise, the NCAA tournament didn’t do well ratings wise

“March Madness 2023 men’s final hits record-low viewership as women’s game soars”

First of all, they have to get the game off Monday night. It’s a terrible night and it’s too late. It should be Sunday prime time.

Like they said before the St Louis/ Minnesota World Series …
“ Not gunna sell a lot of Budweiser this series”, kinda thing.

Woman's ratings just went up due to the issues involved.

First round ratings were up too.

I guess casual fans like to see small schools do well in the early rounds and big schools do well in the end.

920 Eastern time it’s too late at night

920 Eastern time it’s too late at night

this doesn't help

or the fact it was a double digit half time lead. It's 1030pm eastern and a 10+ halftime game. i personally turned it off and went to bed. I'm not staying up for that.

Same with half of america clearly

Gamblers always keep ratings going, but casuals won't stay up. Game should be 8pm

Lets try a Sunday Night

Womans game was in day, I do not think that was the norm and did great

Ratings worse now because more people betting & too nervous to watch game.
