    9.9 million people cared.

    Nearly ten million viewers for NCAA women's title game

    Sunday’s audience matched or exceeded every game of last year’s NBA Playoffs except for the NBA Finals (Game 7 of the Celtics-Heat Eastern Conference Finals also averaged 9.9 million) and topped every game of last year’s Major League Baseball Postseason except for the World Series, every NASCAR race since 2017 (including the Daytona 500) and every NHL game in more than 50 years (including the Stanley Cup Final).

    Only 11 college football games averaged a larger audience during last season, including the playoff. The Rose Bowl had only slightly more viewers at 10.19 million.

    Question for the grammarians around here: if you have a set of one, why is it an average? As in game 7 averaged 9.9 million.

    I was told there would be no grammar.

    Perhaps because they take several measurements. Beginning of game, middle, end.

    /just guessing

    Angel Reese doesn't accept Jill Biden's apology, and says "We'll go visit the Obamas" instead.

    Does she seriously think the Obamas are going to show up the President and First Lady and invite her and LSU into their home if they turn down a White House visit? What freaking planet does she live on?

    Measured in 15-minute increments. Just like from the story you linked, it said, "The Tigers’ win, which peaked with 12.6 million viewers ..."

    So, yes, average of those measurements.

    She is milking the hell out of her 15 minutes. Can't blame her. She was a nobody a week ago and she'll be one again.

    A rating measurement is taken every quarter hour. When someone gives a single rating number, like the 9.9 million given, that number is an average of those quarter-hour measurements.

    EDIT: Yeah, what MileHigh said.
