FWIW, I am glad that this is happening, and am looking forward to seeing the change. This will only help college baseball get more respect from people out there who aren't fans yet, but who don't give even give it a real chance because of lame jokes about the ping! sound.
College baseball is a wonderful growing sport, and it's about to get bigger. I will bet that 9 out of 12 SEC programs will have more baseball attendance than basketball attendance within 10-15 years. The only major conference that hasn't really gotten on board is the Big Ten, but even they are making strides in places like Minnesota, Illinois, & Ohio State.

I would have to disagree. I don't think less homeruns will bring non-fans or casual fans to college baseball.

Doc, I agree with you. I think we are in the minority though. If the new bats perform like wood I am fine with it. If they are less "lively" than wood, I will have a problem with it.

Correct IMO. I don't know if you've heard the new bats yet, but the sound is very different from the old familiar "ping".

Again, we are in the minority here. Most of my friends are pissed that we are gonna see less offense and runs scored and they think that the games will be less entertaining. Mainieri has even said this. I agree with you that the games will likely be more like MLB games. Again however, if the new bats are less lively than wood, I will not be pleased. We will see soon enough.

Is the new bat thing supposed to be a "trial"? If so, who decides whether the bats stay or go?

One of my favorite sounds

That of course remains to be seen. Will fans enjoy more singles and bunts and 1-0 games is the question. Now I see you can hit the dinger with the bat but less of them and will it cause us to go back to the 60's and 70's in baseball interest?
