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

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.
