How about you do a comparison of women's NCAA average tournament vs men's NCAA average tournament ratings? It was higher this season in singular reason due to to Caitlin Clark.

Some historical numbers from 2022. Some games didn't even have a million viewers.
I looked for a dataset of ratings of all the games (men and women) but couldn't find it. However, as I noted earlier, the article stated that through the elite eight, viewership for games that did not feature Iowa was up 75%. So it is not just the singular season from Caitlin Clark.
