[QUOTE="CINCYMETJACKET, post: 821629, member: 4003"] I actually like regionals the way they are. When I lived in ATL and attended them regularly, I enjoyed the fact that you could watch 3 other teams that you may not have otherwise had the opportunity to see play (other than getting paired up with UGA if both were not #1 seeds...) Of course, I would buy the regional package and go to the non GT games as well. I recall watching Louisville play as a 3 or 4 seed in our region before they became a national powerhouse many, many years ago. Same goes for the Vandy regional I attended many years ago. Got to see Tech play Illinois, Vanderbilt, and one of the directional Tennessee schools (can't recall whether it was Eastern, Middle, or Western Tennessee State...) I have not read the article yet, but I can see a financial benefit to college baseball moving to such a format. Non local teams don't draw many fans to a 4 team regional format. A 3 vs. 4 matchup is not going to be very well attended. Even 2 vs. 3 or 2 vs 4, depending on the teams and location. A best of 3 series with 1 vs. 4 and 2 vs. 3 with the games at the 1 and 2 sites would be much better attended and likely bring in a lot more money. Similar dynamics to an ACC baseball tournament, I would say. If you're in Charlotte and UNC is playing NC State, the game will be very well attended. When Virginia is playing Notre Dame, not so much.
