Here, in the SEC, baseball is 3rd but not as distant a 3rd place as it is on the national level.


Agreed. But in several places in the country, women's basketball is higher than baseball. I think it's fair to say that the gap between men's basketball and baseball is greater than the gap between baseball and women's basketball.

Obviously, this question will differ greatly for many people, and for different regions in the country. By "objectively" (for an inherently subjective conversation), I simply meant to attempt to find consistent criteria. Which set of criteria you choose is obviously going to be subjective.

What does the CWS have to go up against? MLB?

So are the findings in this survey any different than the 100 other times we've seen this survey this year?

Only when LSU is swinging them. I hate the sound of metal bats when LSU's opponent is swinging them.

I don't translate college baseball into anything, I just enjoy it for what it is.

Yep, either Baylor fan or Tennessee fan.

I find WBB lacking when compared to the NBA.

Wrong. Arkansas has had 18 players drafted in the last 2 years. The entire SEC had 10 basketball players drafted in the last 2 years.

So fricking stupid. 70% of MLB players attended college


quote:

Of the 946 drafted players, 514 (54 percent) came from a four-year college


quote:

(11 percent) came from junior college.
LINK This is 65% in 2012 from an analysis of the 40 man roster. It is at 70% now

Baseball draws bigger crowds on average than basketball at some schools, and play way more games.
