Believe me, if baseball got as much love as the other major sports, most of the SEC would be bowing to LSU right now. If not publicly, for sure, privately.

To me Baseball is obviously the third biggest sport by a wide margin. The only reason women's basketball gets so much tv time is because it is the only women's spot they think they can market. The fact is women's basketball is completely dominated by a few teams and that alone makes it not worth watching. The other huge reason is some inter-mural men's college teams could wipe the floor with most of the actual women's college teams.

I am not a huge baseball fan, but if ESPN marketed it I think it would be way bigger than it is.

I like female sports to a good degree, but, major college baseball suffers, in large part, due to the fact that it only permits 11.7 scholarships, while a univ. has 20-plus women on full rowing scholarships, etc. The trick is finding smart baseball players with academic or other scholarships or from well-to-do families. If the universities were permitted to put more into its baseball programs, ESPN would probably follow suit.
