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

At least almost all games are now on ESPN plus.
If it got a push like woman’s basketball or even softball it would easily crush both in views

There is a reason the SEC only has one member in Cooperstown and even he was on a football scholarship
I’m assuming big hurt.
Is he seriously the only sec player in the baseball HoF?? How is that possible.

Haaaaaaa

It’s grown a lot, starting in the late 90s really with all the crazy scoring.
I can remember when there was literally one game on TV all year - the final game in Omaha on ABC’s “wide world of sports.”

When was this?
CBS had the title game going back to the early 1990s.

I really enjoy watching College Baseball. I think it's getting more attention every year

Because you’re watching a game in the south. The only region where people care about college baseball

The fact they put women’s softball or women’s basketball over college baseball is a joke

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
This. I think the people on this board really live in a bubble when it comes to College Baseball. Outside of this site, the sport really isn’t that popular

Zzzzz
Boring as frick unless you got a dog in the fight.

Pitch clock is helping a lot imo. College games were brutally long before this year. Will make it better for TV.
Lot of schools investing in their stadiums. It’ll continue to grow. I don’t buy the quality of play argument. Basketball is just as bad in comparison to the pros.

Because baseball is the most boring sport ever

I enjoy women’s college softball more than college baseball. Fast paced and energetic. Games also don’t last near as long.

It’s senior level travel ball.

I do think it's growing somewhat though - but it really depends on the school and the success of the program.
