There is absolutely no way women's basketball is the 3rd most popular NCAA sport

I just switched over to the LSU women's 1st round game, and there is maybe 300 or so fans there for an NCAA tourney game. I think the numbers are complete fudged, or forced, when they say women's basketball is the 3rd most watched college sport

It's not, hockey is.

It's probably the third most watched because it's on ESPN all the time. If you're saying baseball, I never see it on

Rating wise it has to be close.

TV ratings wise it clearly is. What else would be 3rd most? Baseball and Hockey are only popular in specific places.

It is because it is forced on us by espn

What did it look like for the Baylor game? I'd be willing to bet college baseball games at most parks where the home team isn't playing look similarly sparse.

Espn is in Connecticut. There's bias for the sport, as far as coverage is concerned, because of this.

Sure it is. It's on TV.
What would be 3rd other than women's basketball?
Baseball
Hockey
Lacrosse
Track and Field

Consider this: women are half the population. What college sport do you think they watch the most?
Yes, women's basketball is the third most popular college sport.

This is a pussy thread. Women's basketball is on tv because of ratings. That's all.

It's not even the most popular women's sport.... now it is all over the espn family of channels...... cause you know, genders don't play sports. Athletes do

According to TV ratings it is
Football
Men's Baksetball
Womens Basketball
Softball
Baseball
Lacrosse
Those are your top 6

Yes. ESPN has the rights to broadcast other sports like college baseball and hockey that would garner better ratings but chooses to elevate women's college bball instead. Seems legit.
