and college baseball draws "pretty" well in the SEC -- still well under CFB and the top CBB programs and you don't the television, tournament, sponsorship and suite revenue with even the top college baseball program that you do with mid level college football or basketball.
Very, very, very few players spend one summer between college baseball and MLB. Less than half a dozen every year if that.
College soccer is not a proven pathway to pro soccer beyond the US pro leagues which in themselves aren't overly successful pro leagues. MLS is growing but its success now and any future success will be built on foreign players or domestic players coming back from Europe - players who did not play in college.
