[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 813558, member: 4572"] The B1G really isn’t a bad baseball conference. They don’t get credit because they don’t have any powerhouse programs making it to the CWS every year but they’re very solid. They get out at a significant disadvantage because the season starts when the average high temps up there are in the 30s. They have limited outdoor practice time in the preseason, and spend their first month of the year on the road or playing in blistering cold. The B1G put 5 teams in the tournament in 2019, with Michigan giving Vandy everything they were worth in the finals. The only team that made it this year was Nebraska, and they went to #1 seed Arkansas in the regionals and once again played them for everything they were worth. They only got 1 team in because of their decision to not play OOC games. In a normal year Nebraska probably hosts a regional instead of getting sent to the #1 seed. I think it will all be a moot point because I don’t see the ACC going anywhere, but if it does and GT does look to the B1G, I would imagine there would be several other ACC teams who are more well known as “baseball schools” that would elevate the perception of B1G baseball. Maybe if UNC, UVA, Louisville, VT, NCSU, etc. made the move as well and made enough noise about playing up north in the cold, the season might get pushed back to the first weekend of March like it should be.
