You can go pro after high school and international players don't play college baseball. Miguel Cabrera and Ohtani didn't need college baseball.
What the hell does that have to do with anything?

It’s more likely than not, but for now they’re not a blue blood.

It’s debatable but to me, you have to ask the question: is Wichita State a blue blood or is Gene Stephenson a top ten college baseball coach?
It’s a fair question. For example is Gonzaga a blue blood now, or is Mark Few a top ten coach?

The latter.

Miami

Stanford
Miami has a runner-up in the 70s, two titles in the 80s, one in the 90s and one in the 2000s. Their 4 decades of success closer to a blue blood program than LSU who didn't win anything until the 90s.
Stanford's CWS appearances goes back to the 50s same with FSU so they are solid 2nd tier.
Blue blood is old money by definition, not new money.

No lol. We’re not defining blue bloods based on only what has happened in the past. We’re basing them off their collective body of work. We’re basing it on the sustained success of the program for multiple decades, multiple coaches.

Based on history, conference, school, and geography, it’s an easy bet they will be back someday. USC recently had an athletics malaise across the board. Recent actions prove they want out.
USC hasn’t been to Omaha since 2001. They haven’t won the pac 12 since 2002. They haven’t made the NCAA tournament since 2015, and only have 5 appearances since 2000.
If you think USC is a blue blood or even relevant at all in college baseball, you’re extremely wrong.

LSU had three CWS appearances in the 80s. 4 titles in the 90s. 2 in the 2000s. A runner up in the 2010s with two more appearances. That’s 4 decades of success with more titles than Miami.

I don’t put Miami in higher tier than LSU but the 44 straight Tournament appearances with 25 CWS appearances could make some do it.
I think FSU has 58 appearances and went every year from 1978 with 23 CWS appearances

LSU has BY far the most national championships since 1984
Posted on 3/5/22 at 10:06 pm to CP3LSU25
Mississippi St has most championships since 2021
So what does that mean other than picking a random year.

You made this thread to piss off LSU fans lol. LSU baseball is a blue blood, and maybe the biggest program in the entire sport. This is like you saying Kentucky or Duke aren’t blue bloods in college basketball. Just absolutely asinine to even consider. LSU baseball was on the fore front of making the sport even what it is today.

There’s 10 or so teams you could debate as blue bloods but not sure I’d include USC. There are several programs in that area more relevant than them the last 40 years or so.
Not sure what happened. Southern California is to baseball what south Florida is to football talent.

You’re both kinda right. But I wouldn’t consider Yale and Harvard blue bloods of football, though they were some of the originators with a lot of championships.
My question is, how long does it take for a team (who once was considered a blue blood) to not be very relevant, to no longer be considered a blue blood? I know that sounds confusing, but I don’t know how else to ask it.

USC has no facilities or support. And mom and dad can watch every game even if they’re playing across the country at Clemson or something.

USC has $60K tuition and only 11.7 scholarships due to the ridiculous NCAA rules. That's why USC is no longer a power.

Plenty of expensive private schools have done well since the last time usc was relevant
Posted on 3/5/22 at 10:29 pm to DBG
I'll give you Vanderbilt. Rice had a good run 15 years ago.
But the 11.7 scholarships really hurt the private schools. UCLA and CSF are much more affordable for top players.
