USM averages more fans per game than Tennessee and has a bigger stadium. 2 good reasons to pick them as a host

Just because Tennessee is in the SEC doesnt mean you just get handed a super regional for showing up, you actually have to earn it and USM did.

One of USM’s players has a dad on the selection committee. And this is their best coach ever’s last season. We hosted a regional and a super last year. It’s fine. GFY.
Wrong.. Try again.

40-13. Death Valley turned into Volunteer Valley before half time. You should be ashamed you abandoned your team and left them mid game.

Having below 5000 is just sad.

68 degrees. Absolutely amazing weather.

He's not wrong about that. Not saying that made a difference but it is a fact that a USM player's father is on the selection committee.
Selection Committee - Jay Artigues
USM Roster - Casey Artigues

On the broadcast yesterday, the selection committee revealed their criteria which was stadium capacity and hosting city accommodations which they said both teams were equal in their eyes. So to break the tie, they looked at how the teams were seeded coming into the tournament and USM was one of three teams considered for the 16th seed so they gave them the nod.
Both teams can confidently say they earned it but it doesn't matter when the committee is going to select their own arbitrary criteria.

So one person go to vote on sending the Super to Hattiesburg where attendance at the games averages more than poor Tennessee..
Y'all act as if you're some scrappy underdog team but you have half a billion dollars in athletic budget, I believe $2.9 goes to baseball alone... USM gets $700k for baseball.. Cry harder.

Why? Even in the SEC baseball isn't a big deal for a majority of schools.

majority?
Maybe 20 years ago. Way too much money has been invested recently to say the "majority" doesn't think it's a big deal.
The only programs who haven't invested tens of millions of dollars into major renovations and/or brand new stadiums in the past 10-15 years are Georgia and Missouri. And I'd bet that changes very soon for Georgia.

Only makes a profit at 5 (at best) schools. You've got the Big 4 (Arky/LSU/MS schools) and MAYBE SCar.

Great. That doesn't mean the schools don't think it's a big deal. Them investing as much money as they have on a non-revenue sport tells me quite the opposite. What it tells me? They see it as an opportunity to make it a revenue sport seeing as LSU, State, Ole Miss, and Arkansas have shown that to be a possibility. Things change. Investments aren't necessarily going to yield results in the short-term
