College baseball final game only worth ESPN2?

I have also notice you get box scores in newspapers for football and basketball but not for baseball.

Congratulations to MSSU for winning their first national championship in any sport.

Maybe when scheduling they hedged just a bit that it wouldn’t be “necessary”?? Plus...at least it isn’t “ESPNU” (or “The Ocho”). I guess anyone who has access to the main channel has “the deuce”, also!!

It is really a sport that only gets much media play in South Carolina, Nebraska, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Outside of those states it may get a passing mention in other places in media

On a short path!

It will be interesting to see the TV numbers for game 3 since it was for all the marbles. But there just isn’t much national interest in the CWS. Game 1 and 2 didn’t draw as many viewers as the Euro Cup round of 16 matches on the same day. And the Euro Cup games are at noon and 3:00 ET.

They had a much better game on ESPN. The 2011 Championship Game between USC and UF. Roth was on the mound working his magic.

It was on TV nationally. That is what matters.
