Why is there so much parity in college baseball?

directional schools are on a competitive level with the power conferences much more so than in basketball, to say nothing of football. Missouri State is a national seed, Fullerton is a force in the tournament year in and year out, etc.

Scholarship restrictions.

The low amount of scholarships for each program would be my guess.

My guess would be because of how the draft is set up
Err I mean scholarship restrictions

Along with the scholarship restrictions I think it also has to do with the amount of time the players have to stay on campus. The smaller schools can take some high risk/high reward guys and have them develop over time.
Over the past 2 drafts there were 16 players from non-big 5 conference players taken in the 1st round and 15 from the big 5.

Because the best athletes play football and basketball.
It waters down an already terrible product (college baseball).

I'm sure some of the elite kids going to JUCO hurts the talent pool as well. Plus a dominant pitching performance can mask a team being average or below.
I'd imagine there are plenty JUCOs in Florida alone that could compete and win in the NCAA baseball tourney.

Fullerton has been good for a very long time. Auggie established that program years ago

Fewer barriers to entry for small schools. It doesn't cost a fortune to field a competitive baseball program (unlike football and basketball) and you don't need a huge fan base.

scholarships, numbers of teams, more programs giving a shite and investing in facilities...
