Conference Realignment: Dallas Baptist Baseball to the PAC-12…
- Thread starter Maroon Eagle
- Start date
That is quickly gonna become one of the premier baseball conferences.
Numbers.
DBU will be the 7th baseball playing school in the conference.
And more conference games means that Pac-12 schools won’t have to schedule a lot of nonconference games.
Sad to see what’s come of what was once one of the great conferences in college sports.
They have a good group of 7 here.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see them be a multi-bid league— granted it’ll be two most of the time but I can see three as a possibility.
Baseball is a good complementary piece and is arguably what looks to be the conference’s second-best sport behind basketball.
However, when Boise State, Colorado State, and Utah State don’t play it, it’s a no brainer decision to ask Dallas Baptist which has a very good team.
There are rumors out about Utah Tech being asked to be a PAC-12 baseball-only member if only because they’re going to the Big Sky next year which doesn’t sponsor the sport…
I don’t know about that though…
Another opponent for Oregon State.
Not trying to. This is nothing but a low risk, low reward scheduling alliance.
Closer to medium reward.
DBU will be stepping up as far as conference competition but the Patriots were by far the best team available for the Pac-12 to add and they ain’t chopped liver…
