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.

When there's a conflict been women's basketball and a baseball game, the good radio crew will broadcast the WBB.

That suggests priority.

Women's basketball averages maybe 3k in attendance while baseball averages 10k.

It depends on the school. In the SEC, baseball is a revenue sport at a handful of schools.

This is based on average but he's right.

They’re also paying a shitload to televise almost all games nationwide now through their streaming services and on TV

It is true. I've been telling this board for years college hockey is bigger than college baseball and I don't like either sport. Wisconsin can bring in 18k each hockey game, along with other top tier hockey programs.
