According to this tweet, 1.4 million viewers: https://twitter.com/AustinKarp/statu...34730220208129
If his math is right:
2014: 1.4 million
2013: 1.2 million
2012: 1.0 million
I remember hearing that the 2011 title game had about 750k viewers.
To put this in a bit of perspective, when the semifinal game between NDSU v SHSU pulled >700k, that was the highest rated program on ESPN2 that week. So 1.4 million on ESPN2 is pretty dang good.
