We are one of them. Tell LSU fans college baseball isn't major.

That's like saying "tell UCONN fans WBB isn't major" or "tell Minnesota fans hockey isn't major."

Pointing out the exceptions doesn't make them exceptions any less. Baseball is not a major college sport, even if it is wildly popular and important in a handful of places.

Exactly. A Major sport is someone where a large percentage of schools use it for a revenue stream. Because 15 baseball programs make money doesn't make it a major sport.

And I would love to see documentation showing the Cajuns actually make money off baseball.

I don't have any proof but if we are averaging well over 3k per game AND serving beer at games, we have to at least be breaking even (which I understand is not making money).

Depends, how much is the Athletic Department spending on that beer before selling it?
