Why only mention LSU? We're not the only fanbase that cares about it

I work for Nielsen. Going by TV ratings its women's basketball is a clear cut #3. Baseball, Lacrosse, Softball and Ice Hockey are all distant from women's basketball and any of them can make a case for #4.

This is what it is like

Nobody cares about TV ratings, they aren't really a good representation because women's softball is always on when there isn't shite else to watch.

Baseball is a bigger deal than Basketball in the SEC. It's not just LSU, it's every school in the league. How many other sports have passionate fan bases from every school? I wouldn't even claim football accomplishes that.

Think about all the late summer days that softball is on ESPN for some reason and you are pissed about it. Baseball runs with NBA, MLB, and NCAA Basketball. Regardless, ratings will be drastically different with SECN, lot more baseball games being televised.

Ole Miss averages about 2,000 more fans per game at baseball games than basketball games.

Our record baseball attendance is like 3000 more for baseball than basketball.

Baseball because it's a men's sport and pretty much everyone has a program.

No doubt baseball in the SEC. LSU, SC, Fla, and Vandy are consistent national powers. MSU is up there too.

Acutally, in a few states (Kentucky, Indiana, Kansas) probably Basketball is a clear No. 1 and Football No. 2
