Baseball week 6 rpi - April 9

CWS stadium is way bigger than the WCWS stadium. Attendance would always be higher. More folks tuned in to see the WCWS.

Do you think if OU or OSU were not playing in the WCWS they could average 24k in a larger stadium?

TV viewership didn't care where they were playing. More folks choose the WCWS over the CWS.

No, they chose for one game. Now would you like to answer my question?

Just the most important game they chose. Who knows what they would average. They have never played in a larger stadium. The tide is shifting to where more and more folks are watching softball.

Context matters. Just because more people chose to watch one softball game which happened to feature a nationally known rivalry over one baseball game does not mean that UL softball should be getting all their games broadcast while baseball gets one. That’s the whole point someone was trying to make. We had this discussion last year ad nauseam. It’s not that women’s games shouldn’t be broadcasted cause they should. They’ve earned that. But not at the expense of the baseball team. It’s Busch league bro.

UL vs Texas State SB is a bigger series than UL vs Troy BB. It is what it is.

LOL this was one game, and might be the only one ever.

That would be a loud NO.

When it comes to tv, obviously you have to be fair to both sports. And, I'll give the conference office credit for staying away from weekends like this throughout the season. This is the only time it happens, and it's by design.

Here's what I don't get.

Back when the schedule was first released (which was well before the season started), Troy was the weekend baseball wouldn't have all games streamed. I would think if you folks were going to make a big issue out of it, it would have been then. But if I remember right, there were lots of folks who understood.
