What about Television Viewership and subscriptions that people may to watch baseball from a school sponsored stream?

Seems hard to see tv numbers helping your argument.

First I'm not saying that baseball is more popular I was just saying she was showing attendance to prove it and was not counting tv viewership's also the attendance records are misleading because basketball arena generally hold more than the baseball does.

Like I said, this is 100% irrelevant here.

Do you not think SEC programs would build bigger baseball stadiums if they thought they could fill them?

we had 33 home baseball games to 18 home basketball games so I don't think the marginal difference in capacity is that big a factor

The only people who don't like baseball are low brows

I don't mind that some people like college baseball. However, it's funny to hear fans act like it even compares to the big two on any meaningful scale
You know what else is funny? Equating college basketball to college football in any way whatsoever. The moniker "Big Two" is laughable.

College football isn't as big nationally as the SEC would have it believe. It's huge no doubt, and the biggest of the 3, but many regions value basketball far above football.

Sounds like a post from a fan of a team who doesnt have a rooting interest in the NCAA Baseball tournament.

College baseball wouldn't interest me if even Kentucky was in the CWS. Would I want them to win? Absolutely. It's just a boring game to me though.

The MLB is so much better that it's almost as if it isn't even the same game.
