It would certainly help Erstad's mantra that "every game is of the same importance."I wish Nebraska could go independent in just baseball, and somehow make it work.
Good thought, but I'll bet building a baseball schedule as an independent would be a nightmare. Might be able to capitalize on some of the conferences having an odd number of teams, but otherwise scheduling weekend series once conference play starts would be tough.Man I hope they get someone good and stay invested in baseball. The B1G is great and all, but baseball is not exactly a marquee sport in the conference. I wish Nebraska could go independent in just baseball, and somehow make it work.
I get that, and even though the B1G is making some effort in hardball, it's just not good. Today a kid from Lincoln Southwest made the Freshman All American team at A&M. But I am sure the bullshit excuse of not enough local talent will continue.Good thought, but I'll bet building a baseball schedule as an independent would be a nightmare.

I wish Foster would have considered Nebraska but, he has been planning to go to A&M for a long time. But I agree with you 4.6.3, the excuse about talent in Nebraska is BS. There is a lot of great baseball talent west of the Missouri river.
Pretty much exactly what this thread is about. But since Erstad played here, he gets praised for missing out on local talent. If the current football coach misses local talent, he is to be hung in the town squarethere may be a lot of talent but they aren't going to the BIG
according to the baseball news, over the last 5 years there has only been 1 team from the BIG that squeaked their way into a top 25 recruiting class

There are kids from the area that I KNOW that turned down a cold weather team baseball scholarship to go play at a southern JUCO hoping to get an offer later from a warm weather D-1 program. Many kids that are serious about baseball won't stay in the midwest. Just the way it is. When you can play outside year round at other programs developing your talent, why wouldn't you?Baseball and football are worlds apart in the BIG. If you are a top prospect in baseball you would be nuts to not go to a power baseball conference school.
Similar to why a 5 star football player in Idaho isn't going to go to the university of Idaho.
The Big Ten is night and day better in baseball than it was even 5 years ago. They are getting more teams into the tournament. Just need to start winning a few regionals and super regionals.
I understand that very much. Which is why I think the worst thing about the B1G move was the baseball team. But Erstad played here... so unlimited titles, right?Baseball and football are worlds apart in the BIG.
