Baseball ESPN + Streaming Excuses or Lies?

Women's basketball is BRUTAL to watch. Many reasons for that, but it boils down to women playing a man's game.

Is there Women's Football in High School or College? Nope. Is there Women's Baseball in High School or College? Nope, but they play their own game, Softball. Is there Women's Basketball in High School or College? Yep, and it is unwatchable.

Men's basketball is a top 3 sport. Women's basketball is not. I can sit for hours to watch a Softball game or a Track Meet and be enthralled. You can't pay me to watch women's basketball on TV.

The drop in talent even in the top 15 has to be greater than any sport. Even football ULM will hang with a Baylor or a Missouri. I'm wbb it's a blow out with #5 vs #12

Probably cannot do that. Title IX, equal facilities.

J Kelly Hall proved that wrong.

I hear ya, but that’s 15 years ago. Remember last year’s NCAA tournament and the discrepancies in work out areas?

Apologies in advance if this is off base, (these are questions)

Do we the fans, pay espn for a subscription?
Then the school has to pay to show what we get to watch with our subscription fees that went to espn?
And espn gets to choose the announcers?, Either way does our school or espn pay for that?
Could they just use the radio audio over the video?

And as far as the football deal (on actual networks not internet)
When espn announces “the sunbelt is guaranteed “X” # of games in prime time”, while technically true, I guess we are supposed to say yippee! But do others feel like they are really saying, “We are limiting the sunbelt to “X” # of games in prime time”

What exactly does espn do with the subscription fee the fans pay?

So 100% of baseball games this weekend according to Maggard Math

Many decades ago, KRVS handled the radio broadcasts. Times change, we are in transition to something. What that will look like, who knows. But we probably don’t have enough journalism majors and student buy in to handle it ourselves. Besides, they’d probably get grade deductions for not saying “at Lafayette”.
