Skipaway, what data are you using to quantify the "low interest" in college basketball? And what period are you comparing too?

Regardless, I wouldn't think that the NCAA tournament is having a damaging effect on regular season interest. The tournament is a large reason the sport has thrived over recent decades. Any recent declines in fan interest are much more likely attributable to the early departure of the top talent to the NBA.
