 Apples and tomatoes.  First of all, go to states like Alabama, Nebraska, Iowa, Utah, even Florida and Georgia, and talk football; the default will be college.
Second of all, the NBA doesn't have nearly the following the NFL does.  Most basketball fans I know of (not all, most) have long ago given up watching the NBA and prefer college ball.
Aside from that, SethPDX says it well
