2018 wins needed for NCAA bid

NC State's facilities are worse than Dodd Stadium, according to the scuttlebut. Aaron Fitt's just looking for a reason that doesn't include the NCAA's anti-northern bias.

If he's the national writer you're angry with for having an anti-UConn bias right now, you're looking in the wrong place

Maybe not, but now he's peddling a friend of UCONN angle. After trying to claim Dodd Stadium was the reason we got passed over for hosting duties, instead of the anti-northern bias that's the real reason.

He’s actually been very supportive of UConn over the years (including this one). Go back and read his articles about UConn.

I disagree. That passive aggressive BS he was peddling last year regarding UCONN's snub told me everything I need to know about his "friend of UCONN" angle.

Not sure what that has to do with NCAA jabbing UConn at every opportunity. Last two years with baseball, APR penalty (the rule they retroactively enforced to penalize UConn, and then changed the rule after UConn was to a significantly lesser penalty.... which let’s not kid ourselves, is part of the reason MBB started its downward spiral), other investigations trying to bury Calhoun years ago. Football failure is all on UConn tho, starting with hiring Pasqualoni and then that lunatic Diaco.

I'm singling him out because he's peddling the notion that UCONN was passed over because of Dodd Stadium. Which as I've said previously, is better than NC State's facilities. Now he's pivoted from the Dodd Stadium angle and is now going with the on-campus/off-campus reason why UCONN was passed over. He and Kendall Rogers are the only 2 national writers I'm familiar with, so that's probably why I'm angry with them.

You are going to believe what you want to believe at this point... he (Fitt) has consistently said he believes UConn should have been a host... you want to be angry @ someone - go chase Ted Cahill from Baseball America. You want a “known UConn hater” - sniff there.

As someone who follows college baseball extensively- D1Baseball (Fitt/Rogers) have been pretty supportive of UConn Baseball and Penders.
 
NCAA and ESPN likely go hand in hand. They just cannot stand that UConn can compete and naturally steal the host slot to give to an ACC team the benefit.

I've followed D1 Baseball for the last couple of years and if you believe that passive aggressive bs from Fitt and the constant pointing to the RPI as the end all be all metric that decides hosting sites by Rogers, then....well you're obviously going to call me unhinged. Or a hater or whatever. The fact of the matter is, these 2 "supportive" writers are looking for reasons why UCONN isn't hosting and why they're okay with it. First it was Dodd Stadium. Then when it was pointed out that Dodd Stadiums is 10x better than anything NC State can offer up, they immediately pivot to NC St's on-campus stadium (with lights, though not specified) is better than UCONN's.
 
Fitt used to write for BaseballAmerica. Perhaps some Cahill rubbed off on him.

Rogers and Fitt are fair.

The fact that Cahill just released a bracket putting UCONN into a ridiculous "Region of Death" speaks volumes.

That's why the suggestion I go chase Cahill is stupid. His hate for UCONN is obvious.

Rogers annoys me because he points to RPI as the reason why Texas is hosting yet is silent about UCONN's RPI not being good enough for hosting duties.

Fitt annoys me because he's seriously passive-aggressive towards UCONN. His first nugget was that Dodd Stadium was the reason UCONN was passed over. Then when it was pointed out Dodd Stadium is better than NC St's stadium, it turned into a on-campus/off-campus reason. He can't admit UCONN was passed over due to the NCAA's anti-northern bias.

That would make sense. I believe that there just wasn't enough regional sites in the Carolina's and that's why Rogers and Fitt are okay with UCONN taking it in the poop chute.
