The NCAA has taken a great product, one that was growing across the nation, and turned it into a snooze fest. Its one thing to sit through a game with seven combined hits when two outstanding pitchers are dueling it out. Its actually a treat to see that type of pitching. It's another thing to sit through a similar game with limited hitting because the equipment was designed to reduce the offense.

Really? You think it's a treat to watch nothing happen? I fully understand the talent and skill of a good pitcher, but I've never understood why fans think it's a treat to watch a guy stand in the exact same spot and throw a ball over and over and over again to a guy crouching in the exact same spot, and nothing much happens.
Baseball, by its very nature, is a slow sport, and I'm just not a fan. I could be a fan if there was much more offense (and I actually paid much more attention a few years ago with the old bats) and if there was less down time (use a pitch clock, fixed number of "timeouts", reduce time between innings, less warmup for new pitchers, limited substitutions of pitchers per inning, etc).
Now, no.
