You would be wrong. College baseball is only popular in the South and parts of the west.

Because the game that was supposed to be on the team already advanced.

Why didnt they just change the programming to put the baseball game on ESPN and Xgames on ESPN2 though that doesnt make any sense at all to me

College baseball doesn't register on the TV ratings for most of the country. MLB does. X-Games get better ratings than college baseball.

No this is incorrect. That game would have been on ESPNU (likely Miami VCU) but it wasn't needed. ESPN originally scheduled XGames on regular espn. Why? Who know but that was their call.

Doesn't the WCWS have comparable or slightly better ratings than the men's CWS? I'm not positive, but they're not far off.

It's the Hipster Olympics. ESPN knows their demographic.

Probably the correct answer. ESPN does not get out of bed in the morning unless they can figure out a way to make money from it.

X-games gets many more viewers internationally, and probably just as many if not more in the US despite what you may think.

He's trying to troll because we like baseball.

It's the whole "if baseball is so popular why are they showing this on ESPN" argument

X-games athletes girlfriends are probably the most attractive group of women you will ever find.
