Guess we get to be the ESPN sacrificial lamb today for softball

At least you got to keep the pen and didn’t get charged for the Cadillac car.
Not just suggesting. There are years that it does.
I don't know about you, but I'd rather watch a bunch of college girls in tight uniforms than college guys in tight uniforms.
Some people have been saying it, but don’t have the receipts
The ump behind the plate has been so inconsistent. That should have been strike 3.
The baseball and softball World Series as a whole get about the same ratings. Some years one outdraws the other but not by much. For the finals the baseball most years wins out in viewership. The last two have been massive for ratings but it helps alot on who’s playing in it (Texas A&M/Tennessee and LSU/Florida). Before that the Ole Miss/Oklahoma series was one of the worst rated finals in years.

Because there are more games nationally televised without a subscription. There's little difference in the two with all things equal.

I have no dog in this fight. I don’t really watch either one of them much at all. Just was intrigued so I looked it up.
And that’s a good point. What channels the games are on makes a huge difference. This was from when State won it from Sports Media Watch -
“Wednesday’s deciding Game 3 of the College World Series final (Mississippi State-Vanderbilt) averaged a tournament-high 1.67 million viewers on ESPN2, down a relatively modest 16% from the 2019 Game 3 on ESPN (Vanderbilt-Michigan: 2.00M). Game 2, the only game of the final to air on ESPN, averaged 1.41 million (-28%).
Monday’s rain delayed Game 1 chipped in just 385,000 on ESPN2, down 79% from ’19 (1.88M) and the least-watched game of the CWS final since at least 2008. The previous mark was 503,000 for Game 3 of Coastal Carolina-Arizona in 2008, a Thursday afternoon game on ESPNU.
Notably, the men’s College World Series averaged fewer viewers than the women’s tournament several weeks earlier (1.20M). Thirteen of the 17 women’s games aired on the ESPN flagship.”
WCWS championship games average 2 million viewers for most-watched finals
Viewrship for Game 2, which Oklahoma won to claim its fourth straight title, peaked with 2.5 million viewers.

You also have to keep in mind that up until recently, part of the WCWS was played on weekday afternoons.
A whole lot of bickering in this thread before someone finally drops wisdom.
So 1 year. Seems like a really important thing to add don’t you think?WCWS championship games average 2 million viewers for most-watched finals

1 time the finals of the wcws has exceeded the finals for the MCWS
