Alabama coach with some interesting comments on 11.7 and Bama disadvantage.

[@1RBFjr]

Agreed. I was on the Spyre zoom call and asked about what % of collective money goes towards baseball. I don’t think they knew the %’s or wanted to share them, but they replied something along the lines of “football is the primary focus and receives about 50% and then roughly 30% to basketball with the remaining to baseball“. If I had to guess, I doubt baseball receives even 10% of the Spyre collective $$$.

So did you gather if you want more of your money to go to baseball, get in with the Basevol collective?

It would look different if Oakland and Tampa were to relocate but someone did a geographic realignment map online. With the implementation of the universal DH, it makes it easier for realignment in today’s game.

What Would Baseball Look Like if Divisions Were Based on Geographic Location?

He did. In advance if memory serves.

I still can’t believe Bruin is gone. I got in one too many arguments with him in the basketball forum about Barnes, but it feels weird not having him around.

I miss him too, he’s a person of conviction. He took his leave and I can respect it, even more so now.

is he off the site completely or just the Baseball Forum? I really don't stray too far from Baseball stuff.

As far as I can tell, off the site completely. I split my time pretty equally between here and the basketball forum and he hasn’t been seen over there in at least a year or more.

I don’t know, but I ain’t seen him around, but I don’t stray much either.

Speaking of the PAC…UCLA and USC are thinking B10. Think about THAT in terms of baseball travel.

Money is absolutely ruining college sports.

I won’t speak for you, but my playing days are over! You know how long it would take me to ride 2500 miles on my mower?

I might give it a try. Maybe I can get a NIL deal from Low T Center or Ibuprophen.

Good point! I should already be a minority shareholder in Advil.

I guess the two LA schools are thinking football and basketball. For their baseball teams, it's a big difference in temperature on a February day in Minnesota vs LA. I don't understand why the PAC teams don't merge with the remnants of the Big 12. Ohio State and Michigan probably have their eyes on the SEC and will leave soon anyway.

Yes. www.Friendsofbasevols.com It is.

 

[Volbackhomefromtx]

Yes. www.Friendsofbasevols.com It is.

Thanks Taylorvol for the recommendation. I respect your opinion. I’ve been trying to decide the place that would have the most impact for supporting the BaseVols.

You’re welcome. I like Spyre and support them but www.friendsofbasevols.com is grassroots support solely for UT baseball. Plus, Craig Jenkins seems like a good guy and is passionate about supporting Vols baseball, so I think it’s a terrific idea and those 11.7 scholarships don’t go very far.

Vitello just picked up a third baseman who played at Alabama recently from the transfer portal.

Really. Hang in there Volfam. That’s been out there about a week.

He hit the nail on the head but I'm glad Bama is struggling. Hate those guys in every single sport.

Cry me a damned river.
