oh contrere mon frere, the opening week of football is bigger guaranteed. there is no way b-ball brings in more. silly pumpkin pounder, gyms are fuller for the opening football pep rally than they are for basketball. i don't mind if basketball has more fans, than wrestling, wrestling is tougher. tougher for the athletes, coaches, fans, parents, all across the board, tougher sport, fewer fans. i promise the fans are more loyal. ever had a bad basketball team, everyone leaves shortly after halftime. at a dual fans stay until the big boys are done!!!
