Like we said earlier, NCAA baseball doesn't exactly bring in the marquee headlines, and you don't see it portrayed much in popular culture. You're competing with the big leaguers in order to do that (literally in most cases), and even films about the gritty underbelly of the sport tend to go with minor league teams instead of NCAA. It ain't fair, but you might be getting used to that if you've read this far. Nevertheless, you can spot signs of NCAA baseball in those fancy "movie" things the kinds are so into these days, and even a few books if you take your sports stories the old fashioned way.
