Ratings have been down for all sports across the board.

The pandemic has forced people to live a different way. In the process, we have all found out how little we need sports and I'm in that boat too. I haven't watched nearly as much college football or other sports this year.

Also, think of how many people might have cut their cable to save costs because they may have fallen on hard economic times. Maybe those folks watched it at a local bar...assuming they live in a community where they're even open. Or maybe they had other things to worry about?

It's not like this hasn't been reported and analyzed. I have no idea why people are confused by this.
