This is correct. I'm not making some wild statement that I pulled from my ***... Go scroll through the HailState YouTube account and look at the views of these videos. A soccer highlight video from last month has 57 views... That means the players and their families didn't even all watch it. When I say nobody cares, I mean nobody cares to even attempt to watch it. 57 views... Its sad.
The one baseball highlight video (that was cut and has an extended version) Has more views than the last 50 other videos uploaded that didn't include Leach. I'm not saying don't make the other videos, just don't sacrifice something that people care about and spend $ on to help prop up those other sports that would fold like the French resistance if it weren't for the handful of sports people pay to watch.
Just a few years ago, when they were producing the On Deck or Relentless baseball productions you were getting 40-50k views on a college baseball video. That **** matters. It helps in awareness. Recruiting. Fundraising. It's a big deal. What in the 17 happened?
It seems the HailState Productions team is all in on Twitter... Which is a great place to interact with recruits and or get your *** in trouble with the various Twitter mobs (Coach Leach.) But content like highlights and videos belong on YouTube. It's not rocket science. YouTube destroys every other platform not named Facebook in active users.

To prove how popular our college baseball game highlights can be on YouTube, go check out the YouTube Channel for Wheels. They put together 10 minute or so highlights of most SEC baseball games. Here is the highlight from last night's game vs Missouri ... 10K views already. Some of our other games are pushing 100K views. That should be on the HailState channel driving awareness to all sports.
