You're talking about one game per year. That won't quite finance all major college football programs and Bama games throughout the season are always among the top rated.

What was the rating of the Iron Bowl outside of Alabama or the southeast?

Lol, since the population and Alabama is about 4.8 million and the game was viewed by 13.7 million, there must be someone watching somewhere else in the USA. And you are conveniently ignoring the fact that it was the highest rated game nationally during RIVALRY WEEK.

Look at the rivalries it outdrew and by what large margins. Try to be better informed before commenting.

Why are you so angry? I didn’t know, so I asked a question. I’m sorry I don’t worship at the altar of Alabama football, so I don’t know all the numbers. As a sports fan I fear that college football is entering a critical period with the decline of the NFL because of left-wing activism and because of declining participation among younger players. I actually want the numbers to go up, but I fear certain parts of the country will lose interest in college football and that will not be good for Alabama.
