Exactly. I like watching college baseball for what it is but the level is not very high. Comparing NFL/NBA relationships with their college sports counterparts isn't really applicable. College baseball nationally trails NCAA womens basketball in attendance. Its a niche thing in parts of the south. Just like NCAA hockey is in the north and north east. Nothing wrong with that but not many Missouri types are going to feel some kind of shame because of Mizzou baseball attendance.

There is probably a reason that college baseball has taken root so much in the south. There were no MLB teams in the south for a long while. Minor leagues were not set up like they are now back in the day. Baseball fans in the south naturally latched onto the college game.

It is what it is.

Meh. I don't argue with any of that. His main point was that it was an inferior product.

Which is what all college athletics is compared to professional.
