Reason enough for some excitement.

I baseball due to climate and tradition.   If I were a young man from the North with baseball talent and a possible professional future, I would seriously consider attending college in the South...I would think that even a lot of the Div. II programs down there would be equivalent or better than Div. I programs in the North.   Back to Top Donuts General User Member Since: 9/22/2010 Post Count: 715 Status: Offline     RE: Texas eliminates Kent State today, 5-0    Posted: 6/7/2011 6:03:49 PM  Most D2 schools might THINK they are better in the south, but most of them will have maybe 2-3 players who slipped through the cracks, and the rest are playing D2 because of their overall lack of talent.

Did something curtail the plan?

That might be what you are thinking of.

They are better than the Big 10 almost every year, yet with vastly less resources. Coach Stricklin really has something special going on up there!

Wichita State won in 1989 if you consider that Northern. The last Northern school to make even make it to Omaha was Notre Dame in 2002. Nebraska made it in 2005 if you consider that Northern.

Although their winters are milder than the midwest and northeast so they can get outside earlier.

This is the reason for Western Mich being in the CWS 6 times.  Also, teams like St. John's, Southern Illinois (5 apps), use to make it. Almost wished they kept it that way, but I understand why it changed. Can anyone find when they did away with that?

The general interest/enthusiasm for baseball in the north is waning. It's truly becoming a Southern game, at least at the high school and college level.
