I'm old enough to remember when $200K to Pastor Newton would have bought us a national championship***
As opposed to the negative balance the other sports bring except MBK? Women’s BBall is more popular than baseball….and it’s not even close. Women’s March madness averaged almost 20 million viewers in 2024. Baseball CWS averaged just 1.6 million. According to the article linked below, our terrible football team averaged roughly 800k viewers. That’s half of what the BEST college baseball teams average.

So with that being said, a 6-6 team that grows the viewer base, and gets the average fan attendance back/builds some excitement, would be a worthy ROI IMO. We’re not going to be able to bring this back at once. It may not take 5 years, but it will likely take minimum of this year and next.
