I am one who believes that College baseball could a major sport if the networks helped in pushing it through programimg. There is a lot of meaningless junck telecast during College baseball season that could be replaced with baseball games. It has become one of the fstest growing College sports. Google baseball attendance for the last 20 years and you will see the growth there and you can also see the possibilty that is there if only the sport was pushed the way a lot of these so called regional sports have been. Baseball is not regional it is all over the country unlike hockey and Lacross and wrestling are.
The SEC has as a conference shown that the possibility is there all you have to do is look at how every team has expanded their stadiums over the last ten years or even five years. LSU could build a 20,000 seat stadium and it would be filled just about every weekend. Look at this past years CWS attendance and coverage how much it was covered. I believe that is what gives the edge to the SEC in the CWS because the players play in front of the largest crowds in all of College baseball.
I love College baseball and wish they would carry more of the games across the country and I believe it would grow in leaps and bounds if only it was ginen a decent chance.

I think ESPN sees it as a sport that won't catch on much in the Northeast, where a large portion of the U.S. population lives. They can't play it throughout the summer and, thus, the Northeastern teams cannot play as much in decent weather and it will take a lot of work for it to catch on up there. Therefore, ESPN is not going to promote it too much. If it's not on Sportscenter, ATH, PTI, First and Ten, and whatever other ESPN shows there are, it won't gain in popularity. Maybe not you, but with a number of people, ESPN tells them which sports they want to watch.
