[edit] Most watched NCAA championship

Isn't the NCAA football championship the most watched? I'm confused. Texinian 05:31, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

No, it is not actually. The NCAA Division 1-AA Football Championship actually only draws about 22,800 while the lacrosse championship draws 47,000 and the basketball draws 43,000. Remember this is most attended not most watched. You may be thinking of the BCS National Championship which draws over 70,000, however this is technically not a NCAA Championship. --Yarnalgo 01:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

So then, you're pointing out this as fact, when it is really not? Clearly the BCS Football championship is the NCAA Division 1 Football Championship. Here's a wiki quote -- "the annual Bowl Championship Series and is intended by Series organizers to determine the NCAA Division I-A national football championship." The attendance at last years BCS championship game was 74,628. Why don't you think about clearing this up. --10stone5 09:43, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

The BSC Football Championship is designed to try and get the 2 best teams to play. However, at the end of the season, it is up to different polling units (UPI, AP, etc) to pick the champ and, hence, there is still no guarantee of unanimity. It is not the NCAA that "certifies" this sport's champion. In fact, from NCAA.org: "The NCAA does not conduct a national championship in Division I-A football and is not involved in the selection process." If you go here you can see that in 2005, 2 champs were picked and in 2003, 3 were picked! Sammyj 18:24, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

But there's a simple rebuttal to that. The BCS's web site states - "The BCS was established to determine the national champion for college football while maintaining and enhancing the bowl system that's nearly 100 years old." And further on - "Every Division I-A team is eligible to quality for the National Championship game." [1] That sure sounds like an NCAA Division 1 national championship. Why not just say something like - "The Division 1 NCAA Lacrosse Championship is one of the most attended NCAA championship events." BTW, I played college lacrosse so I'm obviously a fan. --10stone5 13:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
