I also noticed on the interactive bracket that LSU's regional is the only one with regional sports coverage. There are 2 or 3 picked up by ESPNU, and another is on CSS. But BR gets its own TV deal.


Wonderful that LSU has its own little TV deal, while some other teams play before a national audience. Great if you live in the small coverage area, but tough if you are a TIGER fan and live outside the coverage area.

I think that the announcers said in the SEC tourney last week that within our conference, baseball is now a revenue generating sport. May have been the NCAA as a whole, but they were talking to Slive. I could have misunderstood. But anyway, that's huge. I know schools like LSU, Ole Miss, Miss. State when not in a down year that's the case.

Yeah, especially since the Irvine location is so forgiving for the traveling Virginian.
