College football's 12-team playoff rollout was spoiled by the NFL, with the Texans-Chiefs getting 15.5 million viewers while the SMU-Penn State game averaged 6.4 million. The Steelers-Ravens game drew 15.4 million viewers to Clemson-Texas' 8.6 million.
NFL bullying college football. Now it’s invading NBA’s turf and likely spanking them too.
The college games were bad and this was historically the week the NFL started Saturday games.
The NFL loading up a Wednesday Christmas is stupid though. If it falls on a Sunday/Monday, then fine, but otherwise it’s hurting players for a minor profit boost.
Yeah nfl has done Saturdays for a while after the rivalry and conference championship games are done. Didn’t help that the first round college playoffs games were all blowouts.
