Anyone think the NCAA will go to a new system were an extra week is added and you would play 3 game series to advance to Omaha? ESPN announcers were talking about it last night and it seems like that would be good for college baseball.

I hope not, I like the 4 team double elimination regionals.

I think it could happen and here's why:

32 first round sites, 16 second round sites, and 8 third round sites = 56 opportunities for the NCAA to make money.

Now we have 16 regionals and 8 super regionals = 24 sites.

The NCAA is all about the $$ and it would give them a chance to "level" the geographic baseball landscape by allowing more northern teams like Pittsburgh or Indiana a chance to host a round or two.

Granted 2 out of 3 is how the weekends are set up now. But do you really want to see a 2 out of 3 series vs. Jackson St, UL-Monroe or Southern in the first round?

Maybe in a year in which we aren't a #1 seed.
