We'll hear more about Taylor Swift than the actual Artists performing at the Super Bowl. Can we keep her out for a hot minute.

Travel and coaches’ salaries. Support staff, cost of attendance, scholarships. Even though scholarships have no value to NIL promoters.
I would assume there is stadium chargebacks/allocations to the sports that use them as well? The numbers can grow reaaaal fast.

I would still think they have more in attendance at a basketball games than a baseball games..
What I found on the interwebs:

average baseball attendance for home games (2022)- 9,998
seating capacity of ole miss basketball arena- 9,500
average basketball attendance for home games (2021-22)- 6,462
2023 ticket revenue for baseball- $2.63 million
2023 ticket revenue for basketball- $1.36 million

Didn’t realize Ole Miss arena was that puny..Makes more sense now..

Very few baseball teams out draw the basketball teams. Maybe some SEC schools are the norm..

Baseball is definetely big down south.
According to the NCAA (link, sort by average attendance), the top 10 average attendance for baseball last year were:
1. LSU
2. Mississippi State
3. Ole Miss
4. Arkansas
5. South Carolina
6. Texas
7. Florida
8. Texas A&M
9. Southern Miss
10. Nebraska

Ole Miss also won the CWS in 2022. There were at least 20,000 (mostly drunken Laughing ) Mississippians in Omaha by the end, and it was very similar the year before when Mississippi State won it all. Oddly though, they both kinda sucked the year after they finished #1. But being defending national champions sold a lot of merch.
 
Idk if this needs an OT or not? So confused.

Also confused on how women's basketball can cost $8 million.
Probably a million in salaries? Maybe more?
Probably 200K in gear/shoes
Then travel expenses, each road game is at the very least a 1 night stay for what, probably 25 people?

8 million seems really high but still.

I thought shoes were kinda free

But we’re not discussing that.. it’s attendance ..
What was made at the CWS goes to the NCAA..
 
SEC baseball for many programs is a money maker because of the passion in the conference for baseball.

Women’s sports when required to have expenses that are comparable to the men’s counterpart sport, the income will remain short. Until the interest can match the interest of the men’s sports, colleges will spend required by law, and public pressures, that will outweigh said income.

Sports have their place and can help in life skills development and relationships.
