Lmao, a double header for the national championship? You were just complaining about not enough rest and depleted pitching and you suggest a double header?

Quit grasping, no one said use the same pitcher in both games.

Pitching is currently where the game falls apart. Going to bat another 4 times is not going to diminish the product.

6-8 hours in front the tv?absolutely amazing they haven’t thought to do this already. Yeah I’m done here, DVR it next year and don’t watch it until the 4th.

The SAME DAY word of mouth groundswell of a WINNER TAKE ALL game will blow the socks off any increase in TV viewership you've ever heard about.

I am still trying to figure why games two and threw are separate days but when the cajuns in softball were at AZ state they had to play game three immediately following game 2, geaux figure. #equal protection

Basketball and hockey are winter sports and they wear shorts, baseball is a summer sport with long pants and long sleeves, geaux figure

Great idea but isn't DVR just a money grab?

I imagine they'll try to find ways to water it down a bit more in light of ratings records...

If they really wanted better competition and more viewers why not start the season later so the northern teams have a shot and end the season actually during school. And maybe throw in some neutral site region and SR rounds. (And bowls not in one conferences backyard while we are at it) Imagine if Duke played every ncaa March madness tournament game at home during their hey day
