re: Can college baseball ever pass women's college basketball one day?

Here's the thing about womens college basketball. Even though the WNBA exists, womens college basketball is the pinnacle for their sport, which is why rating are infinitely higher for womens college ball compared to the WNBA. It's the only college vs pro sport that's like that. College baseball will never be the pinnacle of the sport of baseball.

That's an issue, but not sure how big an issue it is considering men's college basketball and college football have the same dynamic. The flip side for women's sports is that even if they are the pinnacle for that particular sport, there's a pretty hard ceiling there because only so many people are going to watch in earnest an athletically inferior product.

I'm an average dude, and me and a group of similar guys used to play pickup ball on occasion against the UA women's team. Granted, they weren't very good for a D1 team at the time, but it was never competitive. I will never have any interest in watching people worse than me at basketball play basketball unless it's my kid.
