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.

11.7 scholarships

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).

That's got almost nothing to do with it

Baseball also has more variance than basketball and football. The better team loses more often. Look at the pros.

That has a lot to do with it.
Even good teams can hit a slump at the wrong time. In the regular season a 3 or 4 game slump comes out in the wash if you're good, but in the playoffs it can sink you.

It's also not uncommon for an average pitcher to have a really good day to even out the playing field.

In MLB the best teams only win about 60 percent of the time.
Spills over into college. LSU can win 50 games and still lose to Nicholls State.

This - baseball is a strange and random skill game.
The elite teams are a cut above their peers but can easily lose a series of regional.

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.

Absolutely not. Some could probably play and beat the shite 4 seeds like Texas Southern and Florida A&M, but beyond that no way.
