Does the hosting school or the NCAA decide if supers are played Fri/Sat/Sun or Sat/Sun/Mon?

My guess would be ESPN has a say.

The NCAA, through its Division I Baseball Committee, sets the overall schedule for the Super Regionals, including the dates and locations. The committee determines whether a Super Regional is played Friday/Saturday/Sunday or Saturday/Sunday/Monday, primarily to align with television broadcasting schedules, particularly with ESPN, which has significant influence due to programming needs and viewership considerations. The hosting school has some input, such as preferences for game times or logistical arrangements, but the final decision on the days rests with the NCAA and its broadcast partners. This ensures consistency across the tournament and accommodates factors like weather delays or facility availability.

Jay decides all things about days, game times and weather delays. He overrules the other coach, the umpires and the ncaa

It goes with whichever side of the bracket you are on. So essentially the seeding that the selection committee has made determines it.

pretty sure it has to do with how many teams on which side of the bracket goes to a Monday game 7 in regionals. that side of the bracket is likely to get Sat/Sun/Mon.

Other than that ESPN selects time slots

Sidenote: it was mildly humorous listening to mahtook claiming one of the reasons jay will throw a top arm friday is for the super regionals, which could open up on a thursday.

No Supers ever start on a Thursday.

Thanks man. I forgot to mention that he does in fact control the weather itself. So if there’s rain in the forecast, I hope everyone remembers to blame Jay. Let’s all bitch about start times and any decision he may or may not make.

Well Glen West was on Hunt’s show saying Jay will likely pitch Kade hoping for a 7-inning run rule game in game 1.

Sometimes I really wonder how much the guys on that show really know about anything. Their Twitter account is full of them arguing with random people or tweeting out something with a million exclamation points and fire emojis. They get decent interviews though.
