Why don't we see more bench clearing "brawls" (hardly brawls now) in college baseball?

The "bench clearing brawl" these days has become such a BS pussyfication and purely performative....especially when the guys come calmly stroll in from the outfield bullpens but it makes me wonder why we don't see more of it in college baseball?

There are plenty of skirmishes in college football.

Isnt it an automatic ejection for leaving the dugout and you would miss the next game as well?

Same reason there aren't fights in college hockey. Guys don't want to get suspended.

They grow up playing travel ball. No brawls they either, unless your talking about dads. So basically they’ve been taught to not get upset when some dipshit shows you up.

is the MSB now upset that college players have control of their emotions and know how to act like adults when playing a game that is played strictly for fun?

No other sport in history has bigger pussies than baseball. "Bench clearing" is basically a bunch of clowns acting like they mean business, then standing there like scared bitchez.
If you leave the bench, go fight. Otherwise, sit your bitch arse down with the cheerleaders

It's embarrassing

Probably don’t want the typical softass university president to force their coach to suspend them for multiple games.

We (Cajuns) had a couple memorable brawls against McNeese and South Alabama (I hate those frickers) back in the day.

The usual triggers for the brawls aren't really present in CBB.

The No. 1 trigger is when the pitcher throws at a batter. That rarely, if ever, happens in CBB. The No. 2 trigger is hard slides at the bases. The CBB rules have gone out of their way to make sure those hard slides don't happen any more.

The only time you ever see a brawl in CBB is when batter is acting like a clown after a hit and the pitcher/fielder gets pissed and says something. But even those are rare now because instead of fighting, the pitchers/fielder just respond by acting like douchebags themselves.

I wish guys would come charging out just swinging. Full on brawls would be epic.

You can't even break up a double play anymore.

Because they’re trying to eliminate everything that isn’t a baseball play from the game…

I love going to college hockey games in person, but they would be even greater if they allowed fighting.

Due to the restrictive rules, the high number of cheap shots when refs aren't looking are actually kinda hilarious.
