Answer:

1-Approximately 9 million viewers on average.

2-Super Bowl

3-Approximately 90%

4-It was through Sonny Vaccaro

5-Basically because students use their time to practice sports too much and do not use enough time to study their careers

6-I think that having an education combined with access to the best coaches is not enough because they will also need a type of financial compensation, because these students have to pay food, transfers to training sites, etc.

7-Of course the players receive some kind of payment, since as previously stated, university sports generate many millions of dollars and it is not fair that only the organizers take all that money. Players and teams must receive their share.

8-Because the players deserve better working conditions, the demand should be successful and failed in favor of them, which are the soul of that sport, without players there is no tournament.

Step-by-step explanation:

1-To talk about the month of March in the US is to talk about the 'March Madness'. They are four weeks full of matches in which the university basketball league becomes the center of American sports. The 'Madness' breaks audiences with almost nine million media viewers.

2-Without a doubt, American football is the king sport in the United States. Both in the universities and in the league, the NFL, the stadiums are filled every weekend. They also have all the audience records with millions of spectators in each game, especially in the playoffs and in the famous Super Bowl, the NFL final.

3-This profit is generated through the sale of tickets to watch the matches.

4-Vaccaro's friendly lawyers, who represented NBA players at that time, pledged with them to write a letter for a sports company that barely had years of life and sought to expand: Nike. But the contract between Nike and Vaccaro was not signed by the shoe designs. Both parties reached an agreement because Vaccaro promised them that they would enter the world of college basketball, and to get it their strategy was to pay the university coaches to wear Nike clothes and give the players brand shoes.
