re: Those fans who think baseball is a minor sport...

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

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.
