I really like data like this, but ...

... what usually happens when it gets presented is that it devolves into squabbling about how many network appearances each school made (as opposed to being shunted off to SECN, BTN, ACCN), whether the numbers are "true viewership," blah-blah-blah-blah-blah. Bluntly put, Pollyannas will stick their fingers in their ears and go icanthearyou-icanthearyou-icanthearyou-icanthearyou, and NATTs will circle like sharks and tell you how bad VT and the ACC suck. Most people won't read (or absorb) the details and will instead go straight to the charts, point at them, and yell loudly. There's no nuance. So the comment section devolves into the author explaining what the data means, EVEN THOUGH YOU JUST EXPLAINED IT IN THE ARTICLE. Other than that, cool, cool. 😁

Very true. And I actually can break it down by channel and games
