There really isn't a 3 sport that people watch in a collegiate setting.

It's 2 and then Olympic sports but only in the Olympics.

Hockey is probably slightly above baseball but that's regional.

Women's basketball is aired from Bristol so it's on. Stuff is on...It could be Sumo... Vacuuming needs to get done.

But if ESPN showed Aussie Rules like back in the day that would be the #3...Not a college sport but somewhat a CFB minor league.

Minor college sports just don't draw especially if they aren't on TV.

But Bristol invests in UConn and they put the product on like I love Lucy.

It's a shame that title 9 killed so many of the other men's sports. LSU used to have great wrestling and boxing teams. If you ever look at the LSU hall of fame in the PMAC, half of the guys are boxers.

I use to love watching the NCAA wrestling finals every year. There are only a few colleges that have wrestling teams now though, so it's pretty much just 3 conferences and some smaller schools. I think it's still a club sport at LSU. I'd love for the sport to get a push though.

Btw, here is the video for the 2017 individual finals (LINK ). They held it in St. Louis and there looks to be over 20K people there.
