Possibly the most well paid college basketball team of all time.

Not "of all time". Just of the illegal cheating era.

Was gonna say, this year‘s Wolverines are almost assuredly better paid.

This is fair.  Ok, Probably the most well paid team of the pre-NIL era.

There are 12 second weekend games.  Anybody know the ratings for or why they omitted:

• Tennessee vs Iowa State
• Illinois vs Houston

[FearlessF]

cause it's a top 10 list?

[847badgerfan]

It doesn't say it's a top-10 list. It should list all 12 games.

[betarhoalphadelta]

It also doesn't say it's an exhaustive list. They could have given us 4 or 6 games and it still would be a valid "most watched" games list. 

[847badgerfan]

Illinois/Houston 2.52 million
Tennessee/Iowa State 2.76 million

That's what happens when games start after 10PM Eastern.

Ok, so @FearlessF was right:

cause it's a top 10 list?

It was a top-10 list and they just omitted the two least-watched games.

If it was a top 10 list, it should have said so.

They should have listed all 12 games. Dumb.

That is why I asked.  

If you were listing the top games from the FIRST weekend it would make sense to me to stop at 10 because there are 48 games and I get that you wouldn't want to list all 48.  This was the second weekend, there are only 12, why stop at 10?  

It did say "Most Watched" so that means that it was a top-whatever list and they stopped at 10 so it was a top-10 list but why bother stopping there when there are only two more, just list all 12.
