It's very rare they show highlights does anyone know the reason why?

Not enough diversity in skin color.
ESPN is very racist, and basis their programming off of things like skin color.

Because they have to talk about Lebron. Go to the More Sport Board, you'll see what I mean.

Because virtually no one cares about college baseball. Yes, at LSU, State, and maybe 5-6 other places fans care. But most fans know zero about college baseball and that's a shame. It's a great sport.

because most don't give a shite

Because it's still Softball season.

Average attendance for all of college baseball is probably under 2,000 people.

Because outside of the SEC, UNC/Duke area, and Columbus Ohio nobody gives a damn about college sports compared to pros.

Because Connecticut sucks at it.

Sportscenter shows highlights?

why would a national sports channel cover college baseball? Outside of the SEC nobody even knows it exists, and even in the SEC it isn't very popular.
I was at walk ons tonight and every TV except 2 were college baseball, the other 2 were the NBA playoffs. You will not find a situation like that anywhere else in the world

Same reason they don't highlight college hockey or lacrosse. No one gives a shite nationally

Because very few people outside of Baton Rouge care a whole lot, frankly.

I'm an LSU grad and couldn't give 2 shits about the LSU Baseball team personally. Or any other college baseball team.

In terms of national interest, college baseball falls somewhere below the national kindergarten double-dutch tournament and above the WNBA. Without the interest, they can't sell ads, and without ads they won't show it.
Keep in mind that outside of relatively small pockets of typically fairly low population areas, college baseball isn't particularly popular. In major areas you've usually got an MLB team or maybe even a solid established AAA team that the area's baseball fans are going to follow. Hell, even in the popular areas its a handful of schools that are popular enough to turn a profit with their baseball program alone. Step outside of the LSU-area bubble and you'll see that college baseball is an afterthought to most.

But wait until the NCAA tournament starts. Then they will start showing highlights because all of a sudden they care once they start showing the games on ESPN and ESPN 2

Because outside of a small area in the south nobody gives a shite about college baseball.
Posted on 5/20/17 at 12:06 pm to LSUstephen17
Because outside of a few Southern states nobody really cares.
