Why isn’t college baseball pushed more as a national sport?

I feel like the reason it’s a “non money making” sport is strictly due to the lack of coverage throughout the year. If ESPN would make games easily accessible and would talk about the sport, it will grow. This weekend on squeeze play has been excellent to watch

Because the college football and basketball are essentially the minor leagues. You watch for who will win awards because you know they will "play on Sundays".
College baseball is not. The actual minor leagues are.

College Baseball gets more tv coverage than MiLB. In fact, I’ve never seen a MiLB game on tv. NCAA Baseball should get way more coverage. People fill the stands every time I see a game.

Because it’s made up of mostly mediocre players who use aluminum bats, and it’s only entertaining if you’re emotionally invested.

If you watch like 6 SEC programs that's the reality but it's not close to what happens everywhere. Hell, Florida was playing at home earlier today and it was half full.

It’s a regional sport with talent watered down due splitting HS talent with MLB
Most interest is in the Sun Belt where there are fewer pro teams in general.

No different than WCBB or the WNBA and ESPN/ABC push those

Because top tier talent goes pro, second tier talent goes JUCO, and four year schools get the scraps. There is a reason the typical four year scholly covers a little more than books and a few meals.
There is a reason the SEC only has one member in Cooperstown and even he was on a football scholarship

I’m not emotionally invested and find it very entertaining.

Dominated by schools in the southeast so there’s little to no interest among the coastal elites.

Because Mintz got fired at Barstool.

I love college baseball but the quality of play is poor. It’s not rocket science

Love college sports until they turn completely into the likeness of professionals.
Screw MLB, NFL, and NBA.

This is an LSU board with mostly SEC fans where college baseball is very popular.
Get outside the deep south and nobody gives a frick about college baseball

If quality of play was a factor then college basketball wouldn’t even be on tv.
