what does women's softball games no one wants to watch have to do with the NHRA drag race qualifying?

ESPN has to air and equal amount of womens sports no one wants to watch in order to get the contract to air NCAA football that is in high demand, and broadcasts the softball games right before NHRA qualifying, and because the softball games are live, and ESPN won't cut away from a live event, the NHRA coverage is often delayed or cut off until the softball games are over.

A meritocracy is not what gets your sport broadcast. Title IX legalities do.
