    You can't call college basketball "meaningless" because almost everybody gets to play for the championship when college football is just as "meaningless" because almost nobody gets to play for the championship.

    Well said nothing is meaningless it's just personal preference. ;-)

      Near as I can tell, the highest attendance for college basketball last year was 448,000 by syracuse.

      Which would have been 24th in college football. I think basketball needs to sell about double the number of tickets to challenge football.

        The Big House holds roughly 8 times as many people as Crisler. For this to be a fair comparison, Michigan basketball would have to play 48 home games per season to Michigan football's 6.

              Baseball rules in New York and Boston. Football pretty much everywhere else.

                All kidding aside, Im definitely going to watch more Michigan basketball this year with things looking up. I used to be a really big Michigan (basketball) fan at one time.

                  March Madness is a hell of a lot more exciting than bowl season.

                      Delaney is a UNC alum. Did not know that. Probably would sell crack to a nun to get Carolina blue.... or accept Maryland.

                            What does that mean Mass?

                            And I know that basketball arenas are smaller. Because people don't care too much about regular season college basketball.

                              Yes. That's precisely why basketball arenas are smaller....in the same way baseball parks are larger to give patrons more room to take a nap.
