Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 4175610, member: 3609"] But baseball and softball appeal to groups over a wider geographic area than lacrosse does. The entire SEC region would watch a baseball or softball game, especially since a goodly number of SEC teams are always in the Top 10 of each sport. And while UVa starts a goalie, long stick midfielder and close defenseman from Texas; a close defenseman from Minnesota; and a close defenseman from California, I daresay, even as a lacrosse fan, a baseball or softball game would outdraw a lacrosse game on TV in any of those places. One of the reasons why the lacrosse season has to start so early is so it's over on Memorial Day and ESPN can start broadcasting baseball and softball conference and NCAA playoffs. [/QUOTE]
