Not exactly softball related but I certainly think it is worth a discussion. Congratulations to the Women in the March Madness basketball tournament. Link below.


Being a father of a teenage daughter I think the amount of people watching women's sports is incredible. I have a hard time watching a baseball game (even if my son is playing in the game) but I really enjoy watching softball.

Not sure if the women's basketball tournament will continue to get these type of viewership numbers or if this just happens to be an absolutely incredible class of women playing NCAA basketball at the moment. Caitlyn Clark has an incredible following. Honestly can't remember any NCAA athlete having this kind of following ever in my life. It is not just Caitlyn Clark, Paige Bueckers is great, Angel Reese is great, as well as Juju, Cardoso and others.

I don't know what kind of numbers they had last year putting a college softball game on ABC, but I was wondering if they would bump a Texas/Oklahoma to ABC this year. They didn't; I also suspect being on one of the big three networks isn't as big a deal anymore.
