It isn't even close to that point yet, imo. There are over 200 Division I baseball teams, and some of the major conferences haven't even fully embraced and invested in the sport yet.

I've heard some talk (nothing serious yet) of the possibility of MLB supplying them or at least picking up some of the cost. Helps MLB by giving them a better gauge of how the hitters (and pitchers) will fare and could help college baseball farther along in developing players for them. The Cape Cod and other Summer leagues use wood bats, and they aren't exactly major money makers. Corporate sponsorship between the NCAA and Louisville Slugger or other manufacturers who could provide bats is also an extremely viable option.
