False.
There are about 5x the d1 baseball teams as there are hockey teams. And there are about 4.5x as many baseball teams as there are wrestling teams.
Those are truly regional sports. They’re only participated in regionally.

So technically you are correct, but you have to factor in the "give a shite" element.
For example:
11 MAC teams have baseball. Eastern Michigan led the league in attendance last year averaging a whopping 531 fans per game.
9 West Coast Conference teams have baseball. San Diego led the league with an average of 673 fans per game.
11 Atlantic-10 teams have baseball. VCU led the way with their average attendance of 499.
8 Big 10 teams averaged below 1000 fans last year.
There are plenty more--but I feel like this gets the point across. Lots of schools have baseball; very few have fans that care.
