In all fairness, Yale and Holy Cross were both ridiculous last year too.
That whole regional was ridiculous.
I wonder if Darin feels bad about it.

The Big Ten has been decent the last few years. Nebraska has sucked.
Hogs bat around in the first to go up 5-0 on South Carolina, but it's still early.
I still root for Van Horn. Now there was a guy who didn't have to repeatedly tell you how much he hates losing. It was obvious from all the winning.
I feel bad for the RF. The kid did a good job just getting to that ball and then it goes off his glove over the fence.wow Auburn. ouch

They have two games on Friday for sure. Saturday games are if nobody is able to remain undefeated in the bracket. Could be one, two or no Saturday games depending. No Sunday games.A lot of on and off showers the next 3 days maybe this year they will have to playing games on Friday and Saturday.

My point was if they can’t get these games in the next 3 days...
Rain is coming in again on Wednesday and Thursday all depends on lightning and showers could come in again later today into the evening.
College baseball doesn't even need stipends or salaries to improve its talent level - just increasing the scholarships to a level that supports a full roster would be a major step. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the sport is still stuck on 11.75 scholarships spread across the whole roster. That makes it hard to assemble a decent lineup and rotation, let alone a bench and bullpen.College baseball is little better than the little league world series, it is not representative whatsoever of the top 18-22 year olds in the country. The best are either in the minors or in latin america. This is precisely what is going to happen to CB and CF when the players start to join developmental leagues following HS. The NCAA better start to pay and soon.

No, that would not shock me. I'm just pointing out that baseball could take some pretty major steps in terms of player compensation without really breaking any new ground. A full scholarship still isn't going to keep an elite player from signing a pro contract, but increasing the scholarship allotment would surely elevate the overall talent pool to some degree.I think you would be shocked at the number of kids that pay little to nothing to go to school and play baseball. Baseball players can take advantage of all the academic aid, grants and scholarships that football and basketball players don’t need. 69% of all freshmen received some sort of scholarship with the average scholarship being close to $5,000.

Yes I get that money is an issue, but I was responding to a post that called for the NCAA to start paying the players. I was trying to underscore just how unlikely that is to happen in a sport that currently allows less than 12 scholarships. When the sport has been stuck on that number for I-don't-know-how-long, I don't think stipends and salaries are coming anytime soon.But the problem becomes a money issue. I would bet the average D1 baseball program Is losing close to $1 million per year. Traveling 35 guys every weekend is expensive. I wouldn’t be surprised if 70% or more D1 schools aren’t even funding the 11.7 they can, probably closer to 9 or 10. If you up the number, you are going to get a bunch of programs cut. Then who wins?
I get that it is hard to get a kid to stick around for a 25% baseball scholarship, especially if he doesn’t want to put in the time to keep his academics where they need to be to keep academic aid, and the MLB teams are offering a $40k signing bonus.
