I would think some bat company would love to basically sponsor d1 baseball and sell a metric ton of wood bats at a decent price don't y'all?

They'd go out of business because it would never be cheap enough

No.

Again, you think those types of arrangements haven't been explored already?

Companies are lining up to do this. NCAA just hasn't decided on which one of the dozen companies to choose from

Agreed Russian. I'm sure I just didn't have an idea that folks smarter than me have bantered about. BUT. I do think savvy ways of funding could be a key in the deal. I'm afraid college baseball will fall off the map soon if we don't at least talk about it

let's say they get a deal to get bats for $100 a piece. each batter goes through 20-25 bats a year. Let's just say you have 15 batters on the team. That's 30 grand per team, just for bats. Multiply that by 300 college baseball teams. That's $3,000,000 per season. And again, that's being very generous. Find me a bat company willing to donate that kind of money every year.
