The college baseball season already extends beyond the spring semester by weeks. How long should college baseball last into summer?

Should be shorter season on both ends

I don't see youth on any diamond year round.

In the end you are right though, but not for the reasons given.

Up north youth skate outdoors, there is a hockey opportunity in every neighborhood. That is where the hockey foundation begins.

For baseball it's easy to say it's too cold to stand in one place and do nothing.

You would be wrong about hockey in the south if there were a rink in every small town.

Popularity comes down to opportunity.

You just not looking . . . I have ski level clothes, portable heaters, hand warmers and anything else you can imagine to stay warm in the stands at baseball year round. It is played here every month except maybe Dec and Jan, when we hunt . . .

Well you also sit inside on july 4th and watch tv so I wouldn’t expect you to see the youth play outside year round. I’m not wrong on anything, you try to reword my statements as if they are your own. We do have rinks in every small town, they just aren’t ice and still roller hockey isn’t popular. Baseball is very popular in the north, it’s just they only care about MLB. Our warm climate and lack of mlb teams puts all our interest(money) in to youth high school
and college baseball.

Ohio State could very easily secure both indoor practice and playing facilities. So being too cold isn’t their real problem.

. . . And who says they can’t recruit the south . . . Stephenson says hold my beer . . .

What the big 10 is really complaining about is they can’t buy a home schedule that gives them a regional, don’t confuse it for anything else. They can’t fathom that their hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars doesn’t guarantee them being a top 5 conference in anything.

Maybe the formula should change. Why reward home wins rather than road? Actually kind of sad a team can advance two rounds by playing every game at home

I'm going to join you in jumping around here because you are all over the place. This time I will join you in the word salad.

I have never reworded one of your posts. I crop out what I am not replying to. Makes the desired point stand out more.

Roller hockey and ice skating are totally different and there are no collegiate or pro roller leagues to aspire to, thus no high schools.

I have been driving a truck for 40 years in and out of every small town in Acadiana, the baseball fields are not used year round. Irrelevant but true.

People no longer need to be indoors to watch sports. Just because I'm a radio guy doesn’t change the fact that more people would follow championship baseball on the 4th than on an unnamed say in June.

People are so desperate to watch something on the fourth of July they watch people gorging on hotdogs.

Post of the day when it comes to "why not?"

Ohio State's "real" problem like everyone else in college baseball is talent acquisition.

[R1Letterman]

But watching the hot dog contest only takes ten minutes

If big fan really wanted a fourth sporting event to watch he missed the concacaf gold cup. Also seems the women's golf U.S. open is on now, having that just three days early seems easier than delaying a baseball tournament over a week.....AND it has U.S. in the NAME!

It's not a delay if it's scheduled.

No one says the Superbowl has been delayed a week.

Why not? It was scheduled.
