Yes because they are light years ahead of our football program not because they have a great women's basketball teams. If you're some ole miss troll that thinks it's edgy to get state fans to admit that, it's not. We've known we've fallen way behind in that regard for some time and you can LIGMA_BALLS.
Let’s be real… there aren’t many state fans experiencing personal happiness about sports
Ole Miss has grown because they accept any student who is not a cadaver. No, I don't want to be like them.
You are not stating facts. You keep repeating your point that college baseball is dying. This is not a fact. Also the entire premise of taking nothing into account outside of recent television trends for decision making is simply dumb. Well done - the dedication and persistence of your trolling is second to none
South Carolina and Ole Miss growth have little to do with sports. They decided to invest in their Greek life. SC has the largest Panhellenic rush in the country. Ole Miss is not far behind. State is the second smallest in the SEC (Vanderbilt).
I disagree, women are a lot more beautiful and are proven to be far better at selling a product. Most guys are not homosexual and deep down do not like watching other guys flop around with each other, cry, complain, etc which is extremely commonplace in men’s sports. Times change and many things that used to not be socially acceptable are very mainstream and encouraged now. The money will soon follow.
You neither. That's a bold statement that men watch men's sports due to latent homosexuality. You are Nuckin' Futs.
Think about what you are doing. Im the most sane and honest person here and you saying otherwise makes you look completely foolish. I talk about FACTS and obviously that doesn’t sit well with you. Everything I describe is an absolutely WONDERFUL thing. A normal person would be absolutely thrilled to see other people succeed at what they do. A mentally sick, extremely insecure person would like to see them fail. I know where I stand.
The irony in someone trying attach a heterosexual label to either the WNBA or women’s softball is quite hysterical. Thanks for that
Come one, man. Your alleged viewership numbers would required a Final 4 appearance. We did that--what was the lasting impact on our university?
Please provide actual proof that success in WBK--with its viewership--leads to increased enrollment or giving. We played in two straight championship games, so this should be easy for you.We are talking about two different things. Television viewership is EVERYTHING. It feeds into enrollment, alumni giving, what we as a university can bring to the table. When conference realignment happens… the bigs aren’t going to give a flying **** that our baseball program operated at a $600,000 profit that nobody outside of a portion of MSU tunes in to. Where the eyeballs are where our value is. Back to my original point, college baseball is such an afterthought to the masses. It means next to NOTHING in the grand scheme. May as well invest in our chess and pickleball teams. At least pickleball is growing.
Once again, we are BEYOND stupid to invest in it. Even moreso when these funds could be invested in worthwhile pursuits… BEYOND stupid.
I don’t have anything concrete for you. I think it is common sense that winning in an event with 18 million people watching (womens basketball) would bring more positive publicity for the university than 2 million watching (college baseball).
