Nobody cares on School side
NCAA baseball coaches only care about the W's. It's why you see guys grueling thru 140 pitches in 95 degree weather.
Guys who have thrown a ton of innings, being used and abused in regional and super regional.
And frick MLB, just like NFL, they get free minor league system to develop kids.
It's always buyers beware on College Pitchers, especially ones who are into their 3rd or 4th year in ncaa of pitching.

140 is definitely ridiculous.
There is a thought that the once a week schedule for college pitchers can make throwing in the 120 range okay though.
The science is starting to point to days of rest being a bigger factor than strictly pitch counts.
It's part of the reason relievers wear out quicker than starters.
That's still just one small slice of the overall picture though. I mean, there are a million things that could negatively affect a pitchers arm. We're scratching the surface on about 4 of those.

NCAA coaches get hired and fired by wins not getting people ready for MiLB

Kids choice to play in college or go if drafted. Also a kid can leave to go to JUCO like Alex Fernandez did after his Freshman year, not pitch and still be drafted.

Not really, but depends on what side of fence you are on. I mean I can give you 5 guys who pitched in college that are HoF and had long careers and 5 guys who went to MiLB and hurt their arms. And I can do it the other way also. Your arm only has so many throws in it and nobody knows that number.
As for OP yes they should throw in the fall.
But then again I think long toss and BP sessions are vital as well.
