re: Basketball Still Makes More Money than Baseball

Good luck with this thread. The psyco baseball nut jobs do not like reality and will lose their shite over this.

The psyco baseball nut jobs

We are BOXTARDS!

Because some of our fans have serious emotional problems, others are flat out racist. A lot of em would rather see basketball be done away with just so they could say baseball is our number 2 money maker. I feel the way you do I want all of our athletics to do well and I love LSU baseball. That doesn't mean I'm gonna piss and moan just because basketball makes more money. Baseball just doesn't have the national appeal and the tv contracts and advertising for hoops is what pushes it way past baseball. I just find it funny that some ppl dig their heels in and insist baseball makes more just because they prefer that sport lol.

Basketball leaves more money on the table than baseball makes.
Hoops should be way ahead, but it's not.

The racist tag is thrown around more now. Their was much more actually racism going on in the not too distant past. I'm not saying racism doesn't exist in the world, but the politics of our current age have contributed. I'm a football fan first...period because it is my favorite sport. I personally like baseball slightly more than basketball, but not to much on the collegiate level.

I will pull for LSU in every sport, but my preference is for the sports I personally enjoy more. This is regardless of the ethnic percentages of the teams.

For example, I pull for the LSU golf and gymnastics teams, but I would very much prefer the basketball team to succeed.

I'm an older white guy, but I have no interest in Nascar and just a bit more in the NHL.

Baseball is clearly the second sport at LSU. People are shunning basketball, until LSU puts out at least a competitive product

"Tom Bronco" aka Tim Brando, nice troll job douche.

Who gives a shite what sport makes what, I want LSU to win every championship they can from football to Bowling.

It is amazing how many of you don't even read what you are replying to. I only compared the two sports based on money! Nothing else! I am sure this season that there will be more people attending baseball games than basketball games. I don't doubt there are more baseball fans than basketball fans on campus at this time.

But college sports has become a very expensive business. More people watch SEC basketball games on TV than SEC baseball games in person. TV networks pay more to televise and stream basketball than baseball. Why? Becasue more people watch so they can make more money on advertising. And it is LSU's share of this TV money that makes up for the lack of attendance.

By the way that TV revenue sharing applies the same way to all sports including baseball and football. There is just less of it for baseball than basketball. So just looking at the two sports from a business standpoint. As someone pointed out, if we made it to the tournament where tv viewing numbers really jump then the revenue would have been much higher.

It's not that lsu baseball isn't holding its own with lsu basketball.

It's more like big ten and the northeast carry their weight in basketball, but not in baseball.

Lsu basketball gets an allocation for NCAA revenues based on the success and marketability of northern teams, that are not financially successful not marketable in baseball. Therefore the lack in NCAA allocation for baseball
