Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 4662030, member: 549"] [MEDIA=twitter]1663306278414811140[/MEDIA] -> Expand the tournament. But not the number of teams. Expand the regional format. Add a third weekend of regionals so that it would go regional-regional-super regional. And each round would include two teams playing two-of-three. I like the idea of two teams squaring off, with pitching staffs and bullpens at full strength. That’s what makes the super regionals great. But the beauty of this idea is it expands the hosts, and that gives northern teams a shot. Take this year’s bracket. If the NCAA tourney was three rounds, the No. 2 seeds would all host the first weekend. That would include Maryland, Boston College, Iowa and Connecticut. Baseball in the north has made great strides. More schools have made a financial commitment. But come June, it’s hard to see a reward. Give those northern schools a chance to host one round, and watch the sport explode in those regions and conferences. <- [/QUOTE]
