So you're wanting the advocate and TD to dedicate more prime space to a sport that doesn't draw that much interest?
Both are businesses and need to generate dollars to stay open so they are going to give the most attention to the sports that draw readers.
Not hard to understand.
It's great LSU has a great gymnastics program, but let's not act like it's a sport that is going to draw a lot of attention no matter what.

You guys are factually wrong. The interest IS there for better coverage. Not football coverage. Not baseball/Basketball coverage. But definitely on par with women's basketball which only draws 3053 which is way less than gymnastics. The interest IS there and with a great demographic, the parents of affluent teen girls and the affluent teen girls themselves who buy a lot of stuff . Based strictly on attendance and interest in the community it deserves more coverage. Props to Channel 2 for getting that. Sure it's not page one stuff but it deserves strong coverage.
