* Basketball and football are more popular than baseball, which is far more popular than hockey, particularly for TV viewing.
* Top tier college basketball and football players go straight to the NBA and NFL. The vast majority of college players drafted by MLB teams will still likely spend a couple of years in the minor leagues. This makes it easier to watch college and pro basketball/football because of the continuity.
* Basketball and football are more popular among gamblers.
