Three why would the sec just not go to wooden bats because I think it would make the transition to the pros easier and may make for better hitters earlier in their career?

this. from what i have heard, the bats are worse than wood. either way, if you are gonna start taking away all the pop in the bat, just switch to wood so american kids will have a better chance of making it it to the pros. And whoever said that wooden bats would be too expensive is full of shite. I played wooden bat league in college.

at the time of the change from wood we kept hearing that broken bats cost money to replace and aluminum bats dont break much.
seems reasonable.

now we know that the aluminum bats hit the ball at dangerous speeds, and balls on the hands that used to sting and go for a weak pop to the pitcher are now hits....

so, sure, dump the aluminum..
And make the non-SEC teams use wood too when SEC teams host games; especially in the NCAA regionals.
