Well my god, when they banish us to the espn app every week, what the frick does a smoothbrain like you expect? It's hard to gather a following year after year if you do that. If college football was only available on an app casted to your TV, it wouldn't have the numbers it does.
Meanwhile, every softball game is taking up damn near every espn spot all day, all weekend. Too many white men, I guess?
It shouldn't be hard for you to understand why college baseball can't get a footing when they make it a 2nd and 3rd rate sport on their broadcast decisions.

They put women’s basketball on network TV plus ESPN. Blanket coverage.
Yesterday, for a lil while, ESPN had the same girls softball game on two channels.
The baseball games? On the ESPN app, SEC Net +, that requires an upgrade to get.
Yea.. ratings are gonna be a lil down.
The market dictates your platform and visibility. If there was demand for college baseball it would have a better platform.
The market dictates women's basketball and softball have more demand than college baseball. Them's just the facts.

This is ESPN we're talking about, right?

At ESPN? That’s owned by Disney? That’s ran by Kathleen Kennedy? That has lost billions pushing woke movies and has essentially ruined classic franchises? Who has, unapologetically to shareholders, watched their stock sink from 2020-2021 on entertainment and streaming losses?
Yea. They are truly in tune to market forces.

The fact of the matter is that softball was lucky enough to establish their game at seven innings... play with a fat ball that makes it easier for the defense to make spectacular plays...and to play on a smaller diamond where tight plays are the norm.
Makes for a shorter, more appealing game for the non baseball types of fans.
The TV programmers hate baseball because they never know how long a game will last. 90% of softball games will fit in a two to two and a half hour window.
