Have to believe sports betting is what is driving the ship right now.

I wonder if any of that is boosted by accessibility via the HBO max app? If you are an AT&T user you have free access to the HBO max app which was showing all games not on CBS. I really want to see what happens to viewership this week with ZERO "little guys" left.
It's a good thought - but I wouldn't over think it... The NBA has been losing viewership for years now even after the introduction of sports betting.
I’m not a sports better by any means. Never have done it. But I’m sure most casual betters just want a “fair” bet without the players, refs, corporate ownership “manipulating” the game. I’m sure it happens at all levels but the chances of a college athlete “throwing” the game is way less than the NBA.
I could be wrong but just betting on the NBA seems slimy as the players never give 100%. Could be looking too much into it but I’m sure there is a subtle psychological reason there
Well the NBA is unwatchable for many reasons
Depends on which teams you watch.

UC Irvine has tied our record set last year for most wins without being an NCAAT team (32). They will have a chance at 33 Thursday against the winner of Loyola Chicago/Chattanooga
Meanwhile all seat filler services here in Vegas are giving away tix for the Money Laundering Crown.
What a joke that tournament is.
Speaking of tournaments, the attendance at Hinkle for the NIT Final Four is comical compared to last year when we saved the NIT for a year.

I had considered going to the NIT Final 4, but I honestly forgot all about it. Looks like both games were good games just looking at the box scores. Chattanooga vs UC Irvine for the title will probably be a good matchup, but I'm not going to drive all the way to Indy just to watch one game.
