you still have yet to defend this statement

Nobody outside of the actual teams care about college baseball until the College Baseball World Series. This is a simple excuse for SEC fans to find yet another reason not to accept WVU. College baseball players simply weren't good enough in high school to be drafted. Last I checked college baseball regular season isn't even on TV. If you have time to travel to Morgantown to watch your school's baseball team play a game then I suggest you pick up a book.
literally every single sentence in this quote by you is wrong

I've gone to school at WVU for 7 years and that's actually the first I've seen the stadium. No one here really cares about college baseball, which could hurt our SEC chances but I hope not.
One thing for sure, we won't win a game in conference play.

Not really. The sport is on par with softball and track in media coverage.

No argument here. Our baseball program is a joke, it's been run by the same coach for like 20 years and he's been sucking the whole time. The program is an embarassment, all the players hate Van Zant (the coach), they all are pretty up front with how much of a egomaniacal dick he is. The park is a laughing stock, players use the same bathrooms as fans and the locker rooms aren't attached to the building. Our friggin satellite schools are actually better than us.
Pat White was drafted by MLB 4 times, he was never once asked to come out for the team, when the media asked him why he felt he was never invited to play he said "If you look at the make up of that team, not a lot of guys look like me" He's pretty much right.
Sad problem is though that right next to that miserable field is actually an amazing soccer complex with two amazing teams, but the SEC doesn't have soccer (found that odd) so we'd have to pull a USC and play in the C-USA for that.

outside of the south and southwest, no body cares about college baseball.
I lived in Lincoln from '01-'04. Baseball is the 2nd most popular of the Univ. of Nebraska's teams, much more than basketball. Their off-campus stadium has > 10K.

I lived in Omaha for a period of time as well, that has a lot to do with Rosenblatt being in the state. If any state holds the national championship every year, it's going to kick up the interest in that sport in the surrounding area.

I will take your word for it. But conference realignment has absolutely nothing to do with baseball (thinking you agree with this). Oliver Luck can add baseball seats at will and the request of Slive. So to my original point is that this is just another SEC excuse not to accept WVU.
I certainly don't think its a dealbreaker; as you say, WVU would just expand the stadium and pump money into the program. If ya'll are invited you'll find that SEC baseball is a hell of a lot of fun. Tamer than football gameday but what isn't?
