UCLA won the NC last year.

How many people went to our golf team's matches?
Probably not many since almost all of them are out of state.
It's the same thing with softball. You think they would sell out every year if they weren't constantly in the top 10? With the exception of football, our fans just flock to which ever sport is winning. Coleman will easily fill up when basketball is good, baseball fills up when they are good. It's hard to get our fans to show up to any sport besides football when we aren't very good.
ETA: I don't know anyone that went to the golf national tournament, but I know a ton of people that were following both the men's and women's tournaments online.

I understand you logic, but not your attitude.... so what if a sport isn't universally popular? We love gymnastics and softball because on the day we can kick anyone's arse in it.... and there's nothing wrong with admiring and respecting the athletes and coaches that make it happen.
Or in the case of Sarah and Patrick Murphy... built it out of nothing. I almost think Murph is a little more impressive since Sarah starter her program about the same time EVERY school started theirs. Murph began in 1997 from nothing in a world with already established blue bloods out there and made a championship program anyways.
