Imagine college baseball if the draft didn’t pillage all the top talent

Not at all like minor league. It would be more like CFB with less parity and even more talent spread out among the bigger schools.

What’s great about college baseball though is the parity.

Yea, parity, ain’t it great?

I’m fine with us having the only pro team.

I think baseball has the best draft system. I think the NBA would benefit by adding a few G-leage teams, add a round to the draft, and you either sign out of high school or stay in college for 3 years.

I do think NIL is going to help some with baseball. Would you rather slumb it in single A for a few years, or spend those years at LSU?

Imagine some of the Les Miles teams of the NFL didn't make players declare for the draft, and you either were happy with where you got drafted or you stayed for your senior year

We're already seeing it. Pre-covid college rosters were nowhere near where they are now

Yes it is, although you may not have meant that seriously.

Just checking the scores on D1 baseball, I see:
Southeastern La beat Auburn 8-7, Columbia beat Alabama 15-3, Charleston Southern beat Georgia 5-4 today. Split doubleheaders.

Consider that, in any other sport.

Of course, "parity" is relative. Looking at the D1 Baseball Top 25, there are 6 SEC schools in the top 8, and 9 in the top 20. That's fricking insane.
