Seems like a good measure would be to add what a fan's interest level is, IF all teams were having shitty seasons, and put that against interest with good seasons.
So, Alabama fans as well as other fans have to rank them based on a losing football, basketball, baseball, gymnastics, softball, golf, track season.

Also, what would it take for an LSU fan to think basketball is more important than baseball?

Having talked with LSU fans who knew what the program was like before Bertram, there was a time before Bertram got to LSU that baseball didn't garner a lot of attention at all. Now, the culture of winning has created a mentality that will transcend the bad years. Gymnastics has done this a little at Alabama, but it's certainly not as strong because it's a woman's sport. Add to that, baseball is a "big 3 sport" despite its perceived irrelevance at the college level in a some places, and it would be easy to see how it could become an institution at the school.

Love to play baseball, go once or twice a year to a live game. Other than that, I hate it. It's boring to me and they're no more athletic than girls that play softball. It's a sport like golf. It takes skill more than physical ability.

1. Football
2. Softball
3. Gymnastics
4. Bass Fishing
5. Any other sport, primarily as a bandwagonner.
