This. Teams like Fullerton already played small ball so it didn't affect them much. It directly hurt teams like LSU though who generally had at least a couple sluggers on the team.
I hate them, find college baseball much more boring now, and really don't understand what was wrong with the bats from 09-10.

Exactly. The first change was fine. I have no idea why they went this far with the bats.

1999 - BESR standard. During the early 1990's several governing bodies and manufacturers had been discussing the regulation of bat performance. After the 1998 season - during which a large number of scoring records were broken - the issue came to a head, and the NCAA adopted the BESR (Ball-Exit-Speed Ratio) standard to regulate the performance of aluminum and composite bats. In addition, the NCAA instituted a reduction of the maximum barrel diameter to 2.5-inches, the "minus-3" rule on weight -- which means that the difference between the weight of the bat (in ounces) and the length (in inches) can be nor no more than 3 integers -- and a lower limit on the bat's moment-of-inertia.

2009 - composite bat ban. During the 2009 College World Series the NCAA discovered that a large percentage of BESR approved composite bats were found to significantly exceed the performance standard after being broken in through use. In July 2009, the NCAA imposed an indefinite moratorium banning the use of composite bats.
