No it's not, and I hope this is always the case.

how can college baseball possibly be a big sport when very few college baseball teams actually turn a profit.

College athletics were never intended to be money makers.

Also, how can college baseball be a big sport when way more people watch women's college softball than men's baseball and it's not even close?

I am also a big NCAA softball fan, and the one thing they don't have to compete with is a professional league. The WCWS is their seniors swan song and they will be getting a job like the rest of us.

I have always contended that if MSU or Ole Miss won the NCAA championship in football or basketball they would have had to withstand a ton of media scrutiny that would possibly force some changes in some of their traditions.
Not with baseball. College baseball is just under the radar of the national pundits who like to stir the pot and I love it. I hope it stays this way for a long, long time.

Also popular and profitable don't necessarily mean good.

Look at all the shite on this list of what is popular and profitable.
