I think the game is at a near apex in interest and viewership. I also think there is a new parity in basketball, but I think the issue here is that pre-portal it would happen now and again. That team would experience 2-3 years of success and go back. Now, a smaller school can have it but see all their good players leave in the portal. It is a one year and done scenario right now. You see a nice run and then big teams gut the smaller ones.Quote:

yeah, we've been killing it the last few years.Quote:
