It lost out in tv ratings last year to girls softball.


It also brings in less revenue than College Hockey & women’s basketball. Let that sink in.

Yeahhh I’d be a huge softball fan too if my baseball teams were the Yankees and the Gumps.

And Taylor Swift has sold a 100 million records. I don't base my likes and dislikes on popularity.

South Carolina women led the SEC with $4 million in revenue in '21-'22... 4 SEC baseball teams generated $5+ million in revenue.

In terms of profit, an SEC women's program hasn't turned one in at least 5 years (of schools that have reported financials).

Of the P5 public schools that reported financials, here are the last 5 "profit" leaders in WBB each year:

2021-22 Illinois: ($-43,156)
2020-21 Washington St: ($-1,658,972)
2019-20 Washington St: ($-2,060,949)
2018-19 Washington St: ($-1,802,066)
2017-18 UCLA: ($-1,226,176)

Wish they did more than just FBS schools. But the data is hilarious for every other sport outside of football.

Well that's not true. It may bring more on average per team. But that's misleading because there aren't many D1 College Teams so the top teams skew the average. There are about 300 D1 Baseball teams vs 60 D1 Hockey Teams.
