Better ratings. Friday semi-finals would be up against totally different programming… and then the Monday night championship gets all the attention as opposed to something in the middle of Sunday that would not get the viewers. Not to mention the fact that it would interfere with a heavy NBA day. NCAA hoops are on Monday’s throughout the season and those games are rated a lot higher than a Sunday game would be. Either that or the NCAA flipped a coin back in the day. “heads it’s Sunday’s, tails it’s Monday’s”… “tails… it’s Monday’s”
Kinda like why does the nfl have monday night football. Monday is usually a bad day at work so people want to look forward to a big game later that night. Just my guess!!!!
