It’s not that it’s not a great sport. It’s not that it’s not an exciting sport. It’s not that it’s not entertaining.

It’s that it LOSES MONEY FOR 291 Div 1 baseball teams.

If it was a major spurt then the TV deals would value them more, they don’t. Of the 91 SEC games in regular season and sec tourney.. you know how many were on ESPN/ESPN2? 8.. all on ESPN2. ZERO on ESPN. The OCHO/ ESPNU carried 11 more.. the rest was in SECN. That tells you right there it’s a minor sport.

Look at the Cap One cup.. do you get the same points as you do for Football and Basketball.. yes! But so does Lax, Soccer, and FCS football.

Baseball Is a major sport for LSU and a few others. Just Like Hickey is for the Ivys, and Soccer and Lax is for the ACC. But Nationally it’s just a minor college sport..

You need more proof.. go to ESPN.com right now.. is there a special tab for baseball like CFB or NCAAM or NCAAW.. ABSOLUTELY Not.. there is a college sports tab.. and that’s where you find the info for WORLD SERIES OF COLLEGE BASEBALL.. right above.. college hockey.. I mean dang F1 and the XFl have their own tab..
