From a business side, I don't see why the MLB would want to help fund college programs with the existence of minor league programs. I don't know how much it would benefit a major league organization to help keep kids in college and try and turn them away from the draft out of HS.
In the grand scheme of things, I don't know that it would have a huge impact on MLB. They certainly wouldn't do something that would be detrimental to themselves financially.
It would really just be a better tool for evaluation. If college hitters were using wood bats, there wouldn't be any question if a player's skill set was the result of extra live bats.
But ultimately it was MLB's proposal so they must see it as beneficial.

Absolutely would be the best form of evaluation. The MLB teams would definitely want college baseball teams to adopt wood bats. Then organizations wouldn't have to pay these 18 year olds' salaries to spend 5+ years in the minors before they realize that they aren't major leaguers.
Oh well, hopefully the new balls will make things a little better until they find a way to bring the wood to the NCAA.

My guess is you are in favor of removing the kickoff and extra point from football right?
You are talking the removal of a play. I'm talking removal of the risk in a play. I 100% agree with the high school rule that a ball in the endzone is a dead ball.
In the pros I would love a rule that says if you kick off and it goes through the uprights you get an 8th point. I would also love to see the high school rule put into the college game except for the last two minutes of the game.
