The WCWS had higher ratings than the CWS one year yet idiots here still think college baseball is on par with football.

Simple math.
If A&M plays 30 homes, averages 5k a game, and each ticket costs $15. That’s 2.25 M. This is before TV, donations, ads, concessions, suites, clubs, etc. Someone like Lsu, Arkansas, etc would top that. I’d guess a dozen or so schools make revenue that crushes the hockey average. If you took the revenue from the top 60 baseball programs, I’d guess it’d be similar.
Now do if they turn a profit:break even is another story. You factor in baseball only has an expense of 11.7 schollies. I believe hockey is 18. Idk which is more money to maintain facility wise. I assume hockey shares with basketball, right? I also assume baseball coaches are more well paid, but it’s only 3 paid coaches.
If you call baseball a niche sport, then what the hell is hockey? A niche of a niche.

This is based on average but he's right
No he isn't
He said nothing about a per team "average" He just stated that it brings in more revenue and it clearly doesn't
ETA The graphic makes zero sense and I'd love to see how they compiled these numbers. The "average revenue" per team in rowing is close to $1 million? Equestrian? People pay to watch both sports?
The chart is completely screwy

Rowing $932,646? All you have to do to watch is go stand on the ditch bank.

Of that list, Equestrian and Rowing
surprise me. How the hell do you generate
revenue from watching horses run & hop around,
or rowing ? Rowing ? Really ?
