The future of college baseball

[MelRock]

NCAA Transformation leaders revealed radical changes to college sports this week, sources tell @SINow.

The (unofficial) concepts eliminate scholarship caps in equivalency sports & abolish limits on number of coaches, sending such decisions to conferenceshttps://t.co/k07Z94oF2k

I’ve said for a while baseball is going to look much different in 2-3 years.

The NCAA transformation committee wants to 1) eliminate scholarship caps on baseball 2) eliminate coaching caps on baseball, conferences decide.

Incredible, ground-breaking news if it happens. 👇👇🤯 https://t.co/tlI5lim3X0

Baseball Coaches: All we want is a 3rd paid assistant and 35 scholarships.

NCAA: Screw that, how about unlimited everything!

You can thank the Big 12 for that. The extra baseball coach was tied to an extra coach in softball. Big 12 didn't want to pay for an extra softball coach.

But, I get exactly what you are saying, just clarifying for others that may not know.

We don't even have enough money to stream all our home games at 5 grand a pop. 35 full rides and NIL's will turn P5 schools into lower level minor league quality teams. Whatever parity exists goes out the window.

Maggard was privy and ahead of all of us.

We’re a football / baseball school. Good times ahead.

Is it a net plus for UL baseball?

If you don't count the money the schools are currently making off of baseball's partial scholarship system, which accounting will now count as a loss

The cost to the school of the added scholarships will be next to nothing.

This should have happened long before NIL was ever conceived of.

Unlimited scholarships however, and will create talent graveyards across the landscape.

Hell no. This is devastating. It means the P5 schools will be able to scoop up more athletes for themselves.

The portal will be an equalizer.

No one wants to "not play" for a talent graveyard.

Surely you can’t have unlimited scholarships for baseball? Could a team go out and give 80 baseball scholarships if they wanted? Has to be some sort of limit?

[moorecajun]

I just don't get it. Even the pros have limits.

[RedTails]

Insane.

Only nine on the field at one time. That is the equalizer. Talent like water will seek its own level.

We will discuss this at length on the pod tonight

Are they proposing no limit on roster spots? Surely you can't have 60 players in the dugout or on travel parties.
