Potential dumb question...

So what happens if neither previously submitted a bid?

Then each school is allowed to submit a bid and it is reviewed by the committee the Monday after the regional. This is what happened with Cal and Dallas Baptist (both #3 seeds in their respective regionals) in 2011.

I was simply clarifying that if one or more of the teams had submitted a bid (by the bid deadline well before postseason play commences), that there is no more bidding (post regional). It is simply about evaluation of what was already submitted.

Why wouldnt they be able to host on campus? Looks like a nice ballpark. Seems to have plenty media space and seating for up to 3,000.

I did not say that were not able to host on campus. I do not know. But some schools opt to submit bids for larger/better off campus facilities.

It's merit. I wish they would get rid of the term "bid". In reality what each school is doing is submitting an application to host. The NCAA outlines all criteria that need to be met in order to do so and it pretty much ends there. Your proposed facility meets the requirements or it doesn't. The term "bid" implies that a regional (or super) can be bought with a higher amount of money and that simple isn't the case.

And it is even more confusing because "bid" was once the appropriate term. Regionals were, at one time, awarded based on monetary commitments to the NCAA. This is how Texas was able to host one year as a #3 seed in the old 6-team regional format.

I’ve always wondered why, since the monetary bid thing went away, that any team with any chance at all to make the postseason would NOT bid for both a regional AND super.

[CajunSID]

that is not correct either

I’m not sure what you’re misinterpreting. So we’ll start here and work our way down the Cajun road.

Do you think if UL and UCSB win their regionals, UL has a chance to host? Because unless UCSB cannot host a super regional, as a #1 seed, they would host UL.

[CajunAmos]

I think there is still a monetary component as well.

I'm just hoping for a regional win. Worry about Super, later on.

[Duggie35]

I just don't think we are winning this regional. A&M is good at home and Texas is a tough draw for us. I hope I am wrong.

No doubt that our Cajuns have an uphill battle going to Texas A&M. However, everyone thought the same thing in 2000 when they won the regional and then were sent to South Carolina, the #1 overall seed that year! It turned out to be the path to the Cajuns one and only CWS appearance. If they play well it can be done, so let's do it!!!

Seeds do not control hosting after 1 through 8. Any team after 1 through 8 must submit a bid (proposal) to host in order to qualify to be considered.

So, if Louisiana submitted a bid before the deadline and UCSB did not (in other words if they only submitted a bid to host a regional) and Louisiana’s bit is a qualifying bid, then we host.

If both submitted a qualifying bid to host a super regional, then on Monday, both bids will considered and the Super Regional will be awarded then.

If neither submitted a bid prior to the bid deadline, then both will have an opportunity to submit a qualifying bid and will be considered when the super regional host site is awarded.

again, seeds do not control as you have suggested time and time again and been told time and time again that’s not how it works

truly hope this helps you

GG posted as such and it did not seem to phase you

try listening llama

[R1Letterman]

There is a deadline to submit separate bids for regionals and super regionals (same deadline), which has long passed. The athletic administration has been consistent about bidding for both regionals and super regionals in baseball and softball. I do not know whether or not San Diego, for example, submitted a bid to host somewhere (need not be their campus facility).

Yet another process by the ncaa that seems would be easy to make more transparent, yet they wont

nothing hard or missing transparency here unless you try to make sense of the posts of those which obviously have no clue
