re: Would the CWS gain in stature if it moved?

So you are saying more people would watch "the world's strongest man" competition than college baseball? Sorry but I don't buy it. I'll grant you it is a regional sport, but the coverage by ESPN sucks for most of the year. I say FOX should get the CWS. They have regional networks that can (and do) carry college baseball. ESPN, not Omaha, is the problem.

No, I'm saying there probably isn't a big difference in ratings but it might be more expensive for ESPN to cover college baseball than to film one strongman event or poker tournament and show it over and over again. If there was money to be made off showing college baseball than ESPN would do it, they're a business, it's not like they just have a natural hatred for certain sports (or universities).
