17.1 mil nfl . 43.8 mil cfb comparing fbs and fcs, not including all the small colleges with anywhere from 100 to a few thousand, who's games will never be televised so tv viewers can only be a part of the equation since most college games aren't televised

Cut that number in half. There are 32 teams, but at most there are 16 games on a given weekend.
