And nobody outside of Arkansas gives two shits.

You would if you weren't terrible at it. All sports outside of the big 3 are pretty irrelevant really. However our track meets are actually quite popular.

That is the very same argument I have about softball and gymnastics. They lead the nation in attendance and are very successful. Like any other sport outside of football and men's basketball, they're non-revenue. Why not include them too?

Simple. It's womens sports. Basically a pissing match of who spends more on their bitches. Like a Jr. League luncheon comparing diamond wedding bands.

Attendance to our gym meets probably beat all 3 of your track sports... combined.
Basically, your entire spreadsheet is irrelevant. Gymnastics and softball are both 100x more relevant than bass fishing. You have no reason to not include them, but without them it's pretty silly to try to rank entire Athletics programs - and even dumber to suggest one program is the most overrated - while your system for ranking said programs is so fundamentally flawed.

I do believe our baseball program is a revenue producer as well.

Si senor, Arkansas baseball is a net producer. I doubt no other school is putting 5,000 in the house for an indoor meet.
Of course Bama gymnastics attendance is impressive. As Arkansas' program improves I think we'll eventually move the huge meet to BWA where it could hold 20,000. Of course our gymnastics program is only 10 years old, so 5K fans is pretty good imho. Arkansas still played slow pitch softball in the high schools til the late 90's and I don't think all the schools have switched to fast pitch either. Not sure tho, I don't follow girl sports much at all.

False there Cap. Baseball is a revenue producing sport at LSU.
Also are y'all really hanging your hats on Women sports? Can't y'all just admit that your school really doesn't care about anything other than football? No shame in it for being that way.

What I was alluding to was Indoor track at the Randall Tyson Center, it isn't out of the ordinary to have a crowd of 5,000+ for the big in season meet and the championship meets.
When did LSU put a dome over Alex shitBox?

Uh, because it's not true? We have top 10 teams in gymnastics, softball, and golf aside from football. Bball just made the tournament. Coleman was filling up twice a weekend during basketball season, for bball and gymnastics. That's near ~30,000 people on campus for sports other than football.

I'd rather go to a softball game or gymnastics meet than any baseball game.
