Yeah but to be fair. It depends on how you ask question.
Is it a big sport in the SEC? Yes, for a more than a couple of fan bases it’s bigger than basketball.
Is it a big sport nationally? Hell no. Look at attendances from Big10, PAC12 schools, high schools down here in central MS (baseball capital of the country) draw more fans at a baseball game than probably half the P5 schools. ACC and Big12 have a few that care and put more than a couple hundred in the stands, but they are not as baseball crazy as SEC.
This is an SEC board, in the SEC baseball is most definitely a big sport. Nationally? No. The fact that 80%
Of P5 schools could care less about baseball skews the numbers when you look at college baseball interest, ratings and attendance numbers.
