I don't think folks have accepted how much women's sports viewership has grown in the past 20 years. And it's not just basketball. Soccer. Tennis. Gymnastics. I think people are really having 2024 conversations with 1974 data.
I don't think people understand that 92K people watched this women's college volleyball game.

We keep having viewership upsets:
Women's US Open final > Men's final
US Woman's world cup > US Men's world cup
Woman's NCAA final > Mens final
