TV has hindered the fan base. USED to be that EVERY TV in America could watch.

When it was on ABC. Then it was on ESPN. Now....If you get this plan or that plan.....This Streaming service or that streaming service. A LOT of people have had it with TV all together. Even going to the Sports Bars has become tooooo $$$$. In the early 90s, I'd spend ALL DAY watching NCAA ball. I'm talking Noon till sometimes 7 PM or later and spend maybe $40. Hell, that's a burger and a pitcher these days.
