It's a niche sport


Very true. I didn’t know it until last year, but College Hockey actually brings in more revenue yearly than College Baseball. I had no idea.

There is no way this is true.

299 teams compete in D1 baseball and only 60 in D1 hockey plus ESPN is also paying broadcast fees for the CWS.

College hockey is HUGE in the northeast (Boston, Rhode Island, CT), and pretty strong in the Midwest (Michigan/Illinois) but particularly in Minnesota and North Dakota. There are like 3 teams in Minnesota that are college hockey powerhouses alone. U Minn is in a pretty sizable metro area too,
