Quote from: HerrSonntag on April 09, 2014, 07:06:39 PMI have the same issue with watching video on kstatehd.tv, fwiw.While i agree that an outdoor sport would be better served if all of its participants were able to begin practice at the same time, it would be unprecedented (i believe, factCats?) for regular season competition to extend that far into the non-scholastic segment of the year. Sure student athletes wouldn't have to contend with class any longer, but what about the things that usually busy student athletes in the summertime? I know my company has hired members of the basketball team to work as summer interns and while Frank had a fit about them missing some voluntary workouts over the summer, they was ultimately allowed to take the position. One of which now works for us full time. So, in this scenario, how would a baseball player expect to explore work opportunities like his peers if hes expected to fulfill scholarship obligations all summer? It might be an edge case, but its worth thinking about.uh, what? They just enroll in 6 hours or more of summer classes vs going to play summer ball for the Hays Larks or Rossville Rattlers. Baseball players don't have time for internships anyway. I'd argue it has the the biggest time commitment of all the olympic college sports. To go off what TownieCat said, yes, an argument against this would be minor league/rookie ball leagues. There are fall leagues, though.

Things I found intriguing:1. Big 12 coaches voted unanimously, in an informal poll, in favor for the one month push. 2. Big 10 might have more than 2 teams make the tourney. 3. Conference games mid April-June, uh hello summer staycation you lucky townies. 4. CWS over the 4th of July. 5. Push for Iowa State to get baseball back??? I think this will also help beer sells, imo. But seriously, this would be amazing if it were to happen. Makes sense to me. Curious how baseball fits in with the Title IX stuff with ISU. Seems like they're subbing baseball for wrestling and that's not going to change.

Seems like they're subbing baseball for wrestling and that's not going to change. Title IX doesn't seem like it should be a problem with regard to baseball at ISU. They have softball, gymnastics, soccer, and swimming and diving in addition to the usual womens sports; volleyball, golf, tennis, track, etc.

I'm fully aware baseball doesn't make that much money, but the month back push would help the north teams with more non con home games hence sell more tickets.

The wrestling version of Fred Hoiberg, Cael Sanderson, left his alma mater for Penn State and built them into the best wrestling school in America, meanwhile ISU has toiled in mediocrity since he left.
Batcats!
Quote from: seven on April 11, 2014, 02:35:37 AMBatcats! Yeah, let's get this thing back on track. Is Tech any good? We swept them last year, including a couple of dick stompings on Saturday and Sunday.

He's normally a closer, but he has been struggling this season, so they experimented with him at starter. Needless to say, the experiment didn't work out so well.
Pretty unreal how huge the target on our back is . wow
