All those random CA teams like Fullerton and Irvine have decent enrollments.

Just because a school with a baseball team has a decent enrollment doesn’t mean there is a media market for it dumbass. You can use the same argument for fricking water polo.

The World Series last year was notable for having the highest ratings of any world series. Average viewership across all platforms?

1.6 million. Almost 50% higher than previous year.

That’s less than 20% of women’s basketball March Madness, in spite of there being a lot more throwaway games no one cares about in that tournament.
