Now some of the numbers could be lies, but you are crazy if you think

I think the days of super teams are over, teams that are drafting well and developing talent are rising to the top. Which helps a lot of those smaller market teams be competitive, so I can see where attendance has increased across the board. LA is always going to have a crowd turn out regardless of how good the team is, I wouldn't think that is the case for teams like OKC, Minnesota, Indiana, etc. But now pretty much everyone is competitive.

Women's basketball has been pushed HARD in media the past few years, pure speculation on my part but I wonder if that is due to ESPN, TNT, etc. knowing that NBA won't consider new media deals without including WNBA, so it's to everyone's benefit to push the brand as much as possible.

and no, aerozeptallica, no hate or sexism or rassists or such - just no interest and based on a VERY small data set, nobody I know has any interest in 1. watching women's hoops (although several of us like ladies softball) or 2. going to an NBA game in Orlando . . . I think most would say they probably wouldn't walk across the street even if the tickets were free,

And a lot of folks on here talk about what a joke it is that the chickens get so fired up about their women's team - a lot of folks expressing the sentiments I kinda have.

I think Beamer & Staley are the same punchline to the joke - they are chickens . . . and one of them has a buncha national championships in a sport the vast majority of people don't know or care about.

If we won a national championship in baseball - I'd probably be there in person to witness it and I'd be cloud high excited . . . . but 95% of everyone else couldn't possibly care less.

I say it is similar to - come see the Michael Jordan of cricket across the street - the greatest cricket player to ever play the game . . . . and there is FREE BEER.

I'd say - what kinda beer - they say {insert macro beer pisswater beer name here} Light . . . I'd say - nahhhh - I'm good - thanks, tho.

Or - maybe I do hate women, black folks, athletes, buildings that host events . . . . who knows.

Brad Brownell: Only Larry freaking Shyatt has a WORSE overall winning percentage among Clemson basketball coaches since 1975. Let that sink in. It's Larry Shyatt & then Brad Brownell.

How likely is it that the recent numbers coming out are completely fabricated

Highly unlikely they are just made up

Re: How likely is it that the recent numbers coming out are completely fabricated

0% they are completely fabricated. 100% chance they are using favorable methods.

I can tell you about Caitlin Clark but I can't name one person on Clemson's

Because she wore Prada.

Agreed, my wife, who disdains any sports our kids aren't in

I watched more women's college hoops this postseason than

One method was that, at times, if you wanted to watch YoutubeTV multiview,

Yeah - completely fabricated was 100 percent the wrong phrase. I feel they are

NBA's product has gotten a lot better the past few years

I'm wondering if all the attention that women's college b-ball

I think women's college sports has a lot more potential than pro

Agreed, and colleges have built in fan bases, no not 14 million people worth

Attendance and tv viewing up big

if I use JGB's logic

Great points - if at the bottom the last few years, no place to go but up. . . .

Consider this with viewership
