Huge changes coming to college baseball. Look for the P4 to basically become short season single A ball. They will give full scholarships plus stipends to all players on their roster. Everyone else will pay what they can but be a different division with their own CWS.

Will we have a lower price to watch the new lower than division than current espn plus prices?

Time and stance are interesting. You can either let them run out, or catch as much of each as possible.

You make it sound like we should give up, because you don't know of any options. The past failures shouldn't dictate our future.

Sometimes you have to stand up and use all the time available. I choose to fight, and hope you do also. There's a lot more money out there than you realize. UL just has to convince those with it, to invest.

This is from people well informed on the workings of college and professional baseball. They are saying the split will be to baseball specific conferences. Been in the works for 3 or 4 years behind the scenes which is also why MLB cut teams & shortened the draft. Major shakeup in the college baseball landscape coming.

This is from the latest deal in 2023:

Minimum salaries will increase from $4,800 to $19,800 a season for rookie ball; $11,000 to $27,300 at High Class A; $13,800 to $27,300 at Class AA;

Checks notes: mid week games count in pro ball at all levels, not sure P4 wants that aspect

Nebraska 's John Cook deferred compensation agreement:

"If Mr. Cook terminates employment as head coach of the program prior to January 31, 2029 and accepts employment as a coach with a member school of the NCAA or a successor organization."

Looks like lawyers are beginning to cover their tracks for if/when the NCAA implodes and a new governing body emerges as its successor.

“Making the example out of Southern Utah rather than a premier FBS program, though, is just the latest example of the organization's failure to draw meaningful lines in the sand.“

Its obvious that they don’t care that they are just perpetuating a stereotype.

Unlimited scholarships on the way. Every player gets paid, current, future and former.

What a joke the NCAA is. Selective enforcement at its finest.
