If we had to eliminate one of the big 3 sports, which one and why?

I would eliminate baseball for sure.

1. It's boring.
2. Florida hasn't won the CWS yet, so I don't really care since we have nothing to really get rid of.
3. It sucks and college baseball is harder to watch than MLB since they cheat with the metal bats -- and the games feel like they take much longer to complete too.

I am sure some LSU fans will balk and claim it should be basketball. Vandy and Kentucky fans will claim it should be football. But I think the consensus would certainly be baseball.

Number 2 is your only valid reason. Aka "we suck so I don't like it"

Outside of football, college sports are boring. The lack of talent is obvious.

None honestly. LSU has had major success in all of the big 3 sports within the past 10 years and I wouldn't want to get rid of any of them. Basketball and baseball are a toss-up to me. I wouldn't want to get rid of either of them though. LSU would get rid of some bullshite sport like bowling, tennis, or golf before we even thought of touching the basketball or baseball orogram.

It would have to be baseball which sucks because I like baseball way more than basketball, but the numbers don't lie as far as viewership goes.

Football if that's what it takes to get rid of Bama.

So you wanna eliminate baseball only because you guys choke literally every year and never win the CWS? Yeah I guess that checks out.

I'd get rid of baseball to use the scholarships for a hockey team.

Basketball would help the conference GPA

I'll give you a serious response. Football and basketball both generate millions in terms of revenue for most schools. On average, baseball actually loses money each year to the tune of $700,000. If you combined every SEC baseball stadium, you could seat 93,000 people, which would make it the 6th largest football stadium in the conference. The average SEC baseball stadium seats 6,600 people, while the average football stadium seats 80,600. Baseball's national championship is broadcast on ESPNU and the highlights are lucky to get on SportsCenter. College baseball is closer to crew or swimming than it is to football in terms of popularity. Anyone who tells you they'd sacrifice football or basketball for baseball is either a liar or part of an extremely small minority. People talk a big game about loving college baseball, but the numbers tell a different story.

I'd ditch football. It takes up way too much of my time when the weather is so great, and I could be having a much better time doing things that are way more fun than pulling my hair our.

$aban is to blame for my particular condition. He's taken most of the fun out of college football. So, frick him. And, frick Alabama. Especially the sidewalk alumni. There's so many of them.

So, eliminate football, football recruiting, or spring football practice...

I wouldn't get rid of any sport , but I do wish the SEC would add more 2nd tier sports like baseball. Soccer and lacrosse could be just as exciting and draw and make as much as any of the current tier 2 sports like baseball.
