Does College Baseball need to change in any significant ways?

And if so, how?
Is it growing or stagnating in general popularity or involvement?
Does it really need to grow? Seems like we assume growth is a good thing but not always. Viable? Sure.

The stupid rule about being outside the baseline when running to 1st base and the bag being on the inside of fair territory needs to change.

there needs to be a time limit on reviews

NIL may trump this, but full scholarships.
Posted on 6/27/23 at 11:26 pm to Havoc
Add about 15 more scholarships

The CWS schedule should have some flexibility so that both teams in the championship' pitchers are fully rested. IOW, the 1st game starts no earlier than 3-days after the completion of both brackets.

Reseed the CWS brackets once they qualify for Omaha, and a day between all games in Omaha apart from the finals
The automated strike zone is inevitable to some degree, even if it's just 5 pitch reviews a game or something to start. Use something similar to Tennis for their in/out review but with a Strike zone instead of the lines in tennis.

With the way balls and strikes were called all year in the SEC I think automating that should be priority 1

3rd strike is an out. Regardless if catcher catches it or not.

Yeah they need better umpires

Stop counting football, the sport that pays for everything, scholarships toward title 9 so baseball can become a full scholarship sport and you can start more male sports in general.

If they’re going to be this stingy with the strike zone they need to increase the pitcher max to 16

Its growing a bit in popularity every year.
There are def some things that would help with the rules.
First, lets get back to the normal college zone, no one wants to see all these walks.
The clock rule on the pitcher and batter between pitches is a good one.
we need to extend the first base bag another 6 inches out into foul territory. and i dont think it was a bad call against florida the other day. That dude ran inside the line the whole way down until the last 2 steps.
we need to get at least half scholarships for all players.
No reason for any umpire in the field to be involved with a review. Make your call, have the eye in the sky do a quick review from the press box

Start times based on seeding, or better, the option of when to start based on seeding. If there is no way to start 4 games on Friday or Saturday, then at least have some system that rewards the lower seeded team. UF Started PM Friday, LSU, Saturday PM. Wake, the 1 Seed started Saturday AM.
Regionals as well. UF was in before LSU threw a pitch. Perhaps it becomes 2 events with a small break before the finals. I'm sure the country would rather see2 teems at full strength.

You should have to actually pitch 4 balls to intentionally walk the batter. Its too easy now to put a good hitter on base. Mistakes can happen when throwing intentional balls and its always been part of the game.

CWS Finals needs to be its own weekend. No more teams getting an advantage by the opponent not being able to use their ace because their bracket was tougher.
Posted on 6/28/23 at 7:58 am to Havoc
I would change the playoff format to allow for a couple more days rest for the 2 finalists. this series was one of the greatest for competitive games except for the finals. the first game was great, and then both teams ran out of pitching for one game. the games would've been closer. it just makes sense for the champion ship to be played at full strength.

Charles Schwab needs some serious re-work. That stadium is crap for a lot of reasons.
1. Figure out a way to change the direction of the field. Will cost a frick ton of money, but it makes 90% of games there boring. You can hit it 115 mph off the bat at the perfect angle at not hit homeruns. That's silly.
It's also a boring venue and very sterile. It has no soul. Figure out a way to make it better all-around. The stadium itself should be a destination.
That and everything else said in this thread that doesn't need repeating.

well considering biological males are now competing in women sports title IX is pretty much useless at this point so give the baseball team its 20+ scholarships instead of the 11.7. I love the world series being in Omaha but they need to move the fence in at Charles Schwab field.

I wish the Omaha bracket was set up a little differently. The two completely separate 4 team bracket sides changed to a combined 8 team double elimination tournament. That way no one can luck up with an "easy" side of the bracket. And although I like best 2 of 3 for the championship, it helps a little with the scheduling now that both teams in the finals are on a level playing field and you can possibly just stick with a strict double elimination format. No need to break out the championship series. Would possibly help with the people not needing to spend 2 weeks in Omaha.
