    They should let the two top teams rest a week and have the National Championship Series played on July 3rd and 4th. Both teams full FULL strength.

    The build up interest and coverage for the spirt would be amazing.
    It’s already damn near 2 weeks long

    The viewing date of the final championship game is my goal. How we get there matters not. Fully rested teams would just be lagniappe.

    Move the season back a week is another option.

    The NFL has 5 weeks from start to Super Bowl, and 1 week more before the All-star game. College bowls go from Dec. 20 to mid January these days.

    Jan 1 bowl games were the secret sauce that grew the sport.

    College football would not be where it is today if the final game had always been on Jan 13th.

    A July 4th baseball championship would grow the sport.

    You do not potentially schedule two championship games on July 4. That idea is just dumb.

    It’s a terrible opinion, July 4th is the biggest outside holiday. I’ve never considered planning a big 4th of July sitting inside watching tv.

    Every year several elite players MLB bound are in the CWS. I'm guessing that the NCAA pushed this back as far as possible. Additionally many fiscal years begin on 7/1.

    Yes, there is the potential (with a sweep) it is over with on the 3rd.

    Did you take off work to watch it yesterday?

    If not, they wouldn't lose you as a viewer.

    If you did take off yesterday, then you know there are a plethora of ways and options to bring the game outside with you.

    It needs to go back to what made it great. The old format in Rosenblatt Stadium. Single elimination for the championship game.

    I have no idea of fiscal year ramifications or impact on this. It may be THE roadblock, but I had had never considered the issue.

    I feel MLB is doing itself a disservice holding their draft during the 3rd month of the regular season.

    If they wanted maximum exposure, they should hold it immediately following the CWS Championship game.

    If exposure is irrelevant they should hold the draft in the off season like the NFL.

    Baseball fans would be more into it under either of those scenarios.

    No I didn't but I also didn't have a bbq by the pool to go to, or fireworks to pop or the beach for the Fourth of July or the camp at false river or the point or grand isle. On Wednesday June 26th at 6pm I literally had nothing better to do than watch college baseball. Most people have plenty of better things to do on 4th of July than sit inside and watch tv.
