OKLA ST VS NEBRASKA BASEBALL THREAD - SATURDAY, 4-2-11

[Husker Eponymous]

The Big Ten typically sends one team to the NCAA regionals. The Big Ten plays its league tourney in Columbus, Ohio, before sparse crowds (though Omaha could bid for that tourney — and should get it). The Big Ten has rules that don’t compute with most college baseball people, including one that doesn’t allow you to replace a scholarship for any player who leaves for pro ball before his senior year.

That discourages a coach from going after a player talented enough to go pro before his senior year. You know, the kind of players who take you to the CWS.

And this is why TO will keep MA and his suckitude. MA is the perfect Big 10 coach.

In case anyone is wondering why I say the Big 10 is the end of NU baseball relevance...as if it were still relevant.

Wow. Unbelievable rule. If you recruit too well you could find yourself completely screwed if a few of your Juniors leave early. You actually have to keep that in mind when recruiting...."eh...we've already recruited a couple guy that are likely three year players this year...we better back off this kid cuz he's likely to do the same."

Wow, that is just an unbelievable rule, and really lacks any rationality. Maybe TO can bring a new perspective into the B1G and get this changed?
