People are going crazy because the women's NCAA basketball championship game drew more eyeballs than the men's. Let's take a closer look at that. First, it's great that women's sports are getting major recognition. The women's game had a great story-- an unbeaten South Carolina team, and the great Caitlin Clark for Iowa. The women's game was on ABC on a Sunday afternoon while the men played Monday night on TBS. Plus, the men's game didn't start until well after 9 pm in the eastern time zone. Other than the chance of a Connecticut repeat, the men's game didn't have any really compelling story. And, ABC is in far more homes than TBS.
Numbers can tell you a lot, but they don't reveal everything.
