There's literally 0 hype for baseball here. I best 99% of campus doesn't know the season has started and can't name one person on the team. There's simply no interest at all
Then that's the answer. It has nothing to do with pro teams. It has to do with a lack of interest. And that lack of interest is not because the pro teams suck it up.

I never said it was. I love college baseball but unfortunitly, it's probably about the 6th or 7th most popular sport here

Other factors, IMHO: Expense. If I am not mistaken, baseball doesn't give players a full ride. Tuition at USC is much more expensive than at other traditional baseball powers (Long Beach, Fullerton, Irvine, etc) in the area. The academic requirements at some of those institutions are a bit less rigorous as well.
Lack of promotion. USC baseball needs its own Pete Carroll type to put some life into the program and put Joe fan's butt in the seats.
