We average about 9,000 fans a game. What other sport would be included in the Big 3?

He is saying that there is a huge dropoff between the second and third sports on campus. Which is, in fact true, because the majority of people view college baseball as irrelevant. Even if we had a good team people wouldn't care. Just like nobody cares about the women's basketball team.

Arkansas made it to the SEC Championship Game in all three major sports just a couple of years ago. We lost all three, of course.

Go to pretty much any SEC West School and there is absolutely no debate. Our teams are good, so we have near sell out crowds usually. Yours sucks dick, so no one goes to the games.

There is no "Big 3" in college athletics. Baseball is a secondary sport along with track, swimming, gymnastics, tennis, and golf.

Maybe for TN and some of the other big SEC Schools, but at Ole Miss, we don't give a flying frick about basketball. Just football and baseball.
