They sure do push women’s college basketball though. Look I have nothing against it but the lack of respect for college baseball is aggravating.

This will hurt some feelings and egos here, but women's college basketball is WAY more popular on a national level than college baseball, and it isn't even close.

Our 3-game championship series with Florida drew an average of 2.86 million viewers, which shattered records. The womens basketball title game was over 9 million.

Outside of the SEC and a few other P-5 schools, teams are lucky to draw a few hundred fans per game.

At places like Syracuse, Ohio State, Virginia, Maryland, and UNC, lacrosse is equal or greater in popularity than baseball.

On the west coast, particularly in California, nobody gives a shite about college baseball.
