What's more cringe. The fan of a niche sport who complains about how the reason no one else likes said sport is because of some grand conspiracy, see OP, or the fan who makes said Fandom their entire personality and talks down to others that they perceive to be less of a fan than them, see SteelerBravesDawg or OUGuy

They have a ton games on ESPN plus via the app.

I wish they would do the same with MLB. MLB coverage is terrible!

Since when is baseball a niche sport? I’m aware of TV revenue, attendance, etc…but baseball in a vacuum is one of the three main sports in America.

We’re not talking about tennis here man.

Too much unnecessary hustle, weird softball-ish chants from the dugout in college baseball. Ground ball to the pitcher and they sprint to first like its little league.

I prefer CFB to NFL, CBB to NBA, but the max effort tryhard culture of college baseball just isn't appealing to me compared to the lazy grind of MLB.

The way they force feed women’s basketball, you’d think they could cover college baseball more.

The king of shite-takes.

As has been mentioned many times, including in this thread, women's college basketball is a MUCH bigger ratings-getter than college baseball. It is an indisputable fact, no matter how much you don't like it.

I think the trend of bringing younger guys up to the majors quicker will help the college baseball scene. Paul Skenes, Crews, and Langford just played in the CWS championship series 2 years ago and are on the big stage now. The more this happens the more people will want to tune into college games.

ESPNs bread and butter is college athletics. I don't know what you're talking about

It is quickly becoming worth their resources.
What % of the regular ESPN viewership knows Tennessee is the reigning champ?

0.5%?

They more than adequately broadcast the only part anyone cares about (the postseason)
