couldn't you conversely say that fans who think baseball is a big deal tend to be fans of schools that have a lot of success at said sport?
Look, I'm just happy we have current events to discuss instead of the usual boring offseason shite.

It lost out in tv ratings last year to girls softball.

It also brings in less revenue than College Hockey & women’s basketball. Let that sink in.

Yeahhh I’d be a huge softball fan too if my baseball teams were the Yankees and the Gumps.
Hahahahahaha you fricking loser.

It’s probably the purest of all of the college sports. It should be a lot more popular than it is.

And Taylor Swift has sold a 100 million records. I don't base my likes and dislikes on popularity.

There’s a pinned softball recruiting thread on your team board, internet user NFLSU, who is definitely not racist and for sure has a ton of black friends.

That’s fine, but tell your people to not get defensive when we accurately point out that college baseball is a niche sport.

It’s not that it’s not a great sport. It’s not that it’s not an exciting sport. It’s not that it’s not entertaining.
It’s that it LOSES MONEY FOR 291 Div 1 baseball teams.
If it was a major spurt then the TV deals would value them more, they don’t. Of the 91 SEC games in regular season and sec tourney.. you know how many were on ESPN/ESPN2? 8.. all on ESPN2. ZERO on ESPN. The OCHO/ ESPNU carried 11 more.. the rest was in SECN. That tells you right there it’s a minor sport.
Look at the Cap One cup.. do you get the same points as you do for Football and Basketball.. yes! But so does Lax, Soccer, and FCS football.
Baseball Is a major sport for LSU and a few others. Just Like Hickey is for the Ivys, and Soccer and Lax is for the ACC. But Nationally it’s just a minor college sport..
You need more proof.. go to ESPN.com right now.. is there a special tab for baseball like CFB or NCAAM or NCAAW.. ABSOLUTELY Not.. there is a college sports tab.. and that’s where you find the info for WORLD SERIES OF COLLEGE BASEBALL.. right above.. college hockey.. I mean dang F1 and the XFl have their own tab..

CWS has lost out on TV ratings to the WCWS for a few years running. Softball is simply an easier TV watch for the average person than is baseball. And college softball doesn't play second fiddle to a pro league like College Baseball.

Football, Basketball, and Softball. I’m not certain about the fourth, maybe bass fishing, cornhole, or golf.

It was a minor sport when uga won it all, and when uga made the CWS 4/8 years, and it is also a minor sport when uga sucks.

I don't care if you don't understand it.
I don't care if you don't like it.
I certainly don't care if you try to rain on our parade.
Won't work.
Baseball is a religion in Baton Rouge, and Alex Box is the Mecca of college baseball.
Deal with it.
