Texas, Auburn, & TCU, all look to meet the 500 mile limit for a bus ride. My bet is on TCU.

The cut-off for bus/air is 400 miles. This is for all championships, not just baseball.

I used a mileage calculator a couple of weeks ago and it showed 401 miles from Lafayette to Fort Worth. The guidelines state that participants must travel by ground if within 400 miles of the competition site. This is assumably from the originating campus. I am not sure how the selection committee would categorize the UL campus to the TCU facility (bus/air).

If it is 401 miles to TCU then Auburn here we come.
