Question

But you don’t ever hear about college baseball, hockey, etc.

In: Other

Answer 1

There’s a ton of money in football and basketball, especially with the way they do their playoffs. There’s no money in baseball or hockey, especially at the collegiate level. Baseball is boring and hockey is still too small of a sport, exposure wise

College basketball may bring in more money than the pros, but you’d have to look that up
