Save the sport

Let me pose this question...is the BCA doing enough, or doing the right things to promote the sport in the USA? This was asked by a forum member named Gary.

Therein lies the big question. In my opinion a resounding NO. Between the BCA and the APA there must be 1/2 million members. And, both leagues are into their own little thing. Competing between themselves. Or that's the way it seems.
And then throw in the WPA who its own agenda and we have organized chaos as far as unifying and solidifying any aspect of the sport. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the only way the billiards and pool sport will ever prosper and survive is to have one umbrella organization as a ruling and governing body like the NBA, MLB, NFL and the PGA.

ESPN gives a token coverage and ESPNC will show an hour a day. The production in my eyes looks like a throw together one that follows beach volley ball and precedes a bowling show. And some of the tournaments are from past archives. I watched one today, and they showed quick clips of the first, I believe, 7 games. For a while there I was not even sure what was happening, so I can imagine what the causal channel surfer thought. The whole billiards/pool arena is in a rip tide and slowly drowning.
