Makes no sense. This is why there is a Baseball-specific forum. Just like a Women’s sports-specific forum.
Well, it's not that hard to believe that people are not into baseball in mid February while winter storms are happening. Now those fans who love baseball, which mostly means MLB, will be here to see how Louisville performed.
I'm a big baseball fan having played it for most of my teenage years, but I recognize today the game is just not very popular, not until the basketball season is over.
I mean here is opening day for Louisville and it's basically ignored by most of the local media. A big conference team tournament and there's basically no TV. The ACC network is not interested because it's not really baseball season.
How many people would actually watch? Not enough I'm afraid.
College baseball will continue to falter unless it moves the season up to mid March. Northern schools simply cannot compete in February and their fans know it so they don't bother caring like they should.
The status quo however doesn't hurt the southern schools so nothing changes.

I think a lot of people weren't able to watch the first three games due to the obscurity of the tv provider. I didn't sign up for FloSports because I have never heard of it. I listened to Moth as much as I could and followed the games via Live Stats. Also, if there is less interest in the baseball team, perhaps it's because they've been under performing the last 3 out of 4 seasons.
I think those who pay for premium feel they should converse on the board they're paying to have. Some do both of course, but especially with the secondary sports, the pay board will be busier.
Just a theory.
I'm not bagging on my Cardinal brethren. I'm glad to see that folks were interested in what was a really important weekend of games since we likely will not have a ton of rpi building games until ACC play starts.
Maybe it started before the one over here.🤷
My previous reply was an attempt to say that I , and perhaps others, will be more active here when we get our eyes on the games.
