How many conversations do you have with other Mizzou fans about WBB and girls softball? I won't ask you to compare it to your conversations about baseball because Mizzou sucks at baseball.
But, for the vast majority of SEC fans, we talk about and follow college baseball way more than girls softball and probably more than WBB.

I would say the same thing if my school perennially sucked arse.

Why do some people get so upset when others say it is? In this country, when someone says the big 3 sports, everyone knows what sports you're talking about. And everyone who has a problem with college baseball being included knows immediately to respond in kind that baseball isn't a big 3 sport even if baseball isn't specifically mentioned. Why do you think they inherently know to say that?
Regardless, SEC baseball is a big deal in this conference. A lot of people love it. It's always a big topic of discussion in the spring on this board. If you don't care for it, don't talk about it. It isn't difficult. I couldn't care less about womens basketball, but I don't spend my time telling others how unimportant it is either.
And I'm going to let you in on a secret...mens basketball isn't the huge money maker people make it out to be either. March Madness is for a couple weeks out of the year. The sport, in general, barely turns a profit or loses money at most schools around the country. I know LSU is unique, but there have been plenty of years where baseball has brought the university more money than basketball has. The only unquestionable revenue-producing sport is football. But last time I checked, how much net revenue a sport makes isn't totally mutually exclusive with how many fans care about the sport.
I do find it funny that you can usually tell immediately what schools have a good or bad baseball program based upon their fans' stances on the sport.

Big 3 has nothing to do with college sports. Back when men were men you played the big 3 sports, football, baseball, basketball. Not queer as sucker or football for pansies known as lacrosse.
