We don't care about baseball. Like you don't care about wrestling.


One is a nationwide sport that is actually sponsored by the conference UA is in.

One is a niche sport that has no national pro equivalent shown on TV in any format. Because no one cares about it outside the midwest

I can’t find a single p5 school that has both wrestling and baseball where baseball is the bigger draw. Only Mizzou, Nebraska, and Oregon state have similar home crowds for both sports. For the rest, wrestling outdraws baseball significantly(2x-8x).

Yeah I mean the MLB draft is a nationally televised event with college players being drafted higher and higher every year.

Paul Skenes as a potential future all-star in America’s #3 sport carries a lot more weight than some great wrestler in an individual sport. You don’t see people wearing jerseys of their favorite wrestling alumni lol
