[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 819393, member: 322"] With about 30 D1 baseball conferences, consolidation of D1 baseball would be good. But the logistics and cost probably prevent much of that. Better watch out, this is the Offseason Baseball thread and not the consolidation thread. (tic) But I'll roll with it. Reading this below, I was surprised by this "For example, in 2021 the Women’s College World Series produced viewership numbers that were approximately 60% greater than the Men’s College World Series." So another example of the lack of $$$ associated with men's college baseball. For the women, college softball is the end-all and they have no career to strive for, only competition. So that may lead to more interest given it is the highest level of play for aficionados of the sport. Of course, I think that is good and what college athletics are all about. It's kind of like my favorite sport of cycling where the vast majority compete for the love of the sport. Anyway back to the idea of the article (first of three part series) is that the regionals be replaced by two consecutive weekends of 3 game series to get to the superregional. I kind of like the idea, but lean more to keeping what we have as the enemy of good is better.* A lot of good discussion in here for the slow days of the off season (see what I did?) [URL]https://d1baseball.com/columns/rooneys-college-baseball-strategic-plan-part-i/[/URL] I think the next two parts on recruiting and transfers will be interesting. *[URL]https://www.forbes.com/sites/deeppatel/2017/06/16/why-perfection-is-the-enemy-of-done/?sh=60d35dc74395[/URL] [/QUOTE]
