Representation by Conference

This bid breakdown shows why baseball is not yet a national sport. It may become more so when start of the season is pushed back. Coach Deggs said at a Diamond Club meeting earlier in the season that will eventually happen.

Boooo

No problem sir, cut and pasted from NCAA site.

Never reveal your secrets.

Ah, I have no problem sharing. This one was easy, wasn’t an adversarial topic.

Do you think Texas State might have gotten in?

Texas State was not close.

Stepping away from the forest, I think the major conferences are just crying wolf with an agenda. Some sports just have an inherent advantage based on geography. Hockey, along with pretty much every outdoor sport has something geographically that presents an advantage. The PAC12 dying a slow death where state flagships may be left behind can’t be fixed by tweaking the RPI.

[R1Letterman]

The winning percentage in tourny and percent of teams that advance don't seem to support the "dying a slow death" sentiment. Big 12 and pac 12 have an over .700 winning percentage in softball tourny and half of bids advanced both rounds to okc over last two seasons. And in baseball last few years an over .500 w.p. and more than a third advancing.

Seems most conferences do more with less while one does less with more

So your saying, not only does it mean more, it costs more too!

Allegedly... maybe their sports expenditures are funded, who knows, lol
