Yeah...

College baseball didn't even register on the list out of 20 sports listed.

The list including just college sports was:

3. College Football

8. College Basketball

15. Women's College Basketball

21. Not sure

Its not TV ratings.

It's a nationwide poll...

And the question asked is:

What is your favorite sport to watch.

More people said women's college basketball over women's tennis and men's tennis.

The problem with that is that it only gets to people's favorite sport, whereas many/most people watch many sports.

Someone may not attend or watch sports on tv at all, but may call women's college bb their favorite, whereas someone else may watch several hours of sports a week including multiple different sports.

I think attendance and TV ratings are a better metric.

Yes. This is why folks are being turned off from baseball with all the stepping out, fiddling with batting gloves, the slowness of the game. Women softball pitchers grab,throw, and the batters stay in the box and swing. With only 7 innings, the game moves quickly. Now if they can do something about that mindless chatter...
