Here's why college athletics is a "Big 2" endeavor

Football:
HS -> CFB -> NFL
Best players go CFB into NFL
Basketball:
HS -> CBB -> G-League/NBA
Best players go NCAA into NBA (G-League at worst)
Baseball:
HS -> Low-A/High A - College Baseball -> AA/AAA/MLB
Best players skip college to AA-ball or better
College baseball is great! But there's too many levels of baseball to consider it a major college sport.

I enjoy the timing of your post.

You’ll be shocked when you see how few HS players go directly pro. Also, many of the drafted don’t sign and come to college.
SEC Baseball > Single A Baseball
This is a bad post.

Tired of yankee Mizzou posters shitting on baseball.

But college baseball is the place where Mizzou 2nd basemen can go on to become national championship winning head coaches at other SEC schools. It's a great sport

Don't kid yourself. It's a Big 1 + 3 for the SEC (MENS shooty hoops, baseball and softball)
That said, if you like your school and like competitive sports, nothing wrong about cheering anything on from adaptive athletics to equestrian.
Healthy competition is good for the soul in all forms

I'd shite on baseball too if my program let the current best coach in the sport that graduated from Mizzou baseball/coached there as an assistant become an icon somewhere else in conference.

Am I high or are you insinuating baseball players have to go to Low A/High A before they can go to college?
Posted on 3/15/25 at 8:31 pm to KCM0Tiger
Either way. Post is retarded.

It could improve in the very near future because they are changing the scholarship numbers from 11.7 full scholarships to 34. With that and NIL I would expect college ball to pull in a lot more talent. At least at the D1 level. My hope is Mizzou starts ramping up support for the program now that there won't be all the scholarship shenanigans created by the 11.7 limit.

To sum up Missouri sucks at baseball.
So they pretend not to try because their team is so awful it would be more embarrassing if someone found out they WERE trying.

Exactly. Except for the fact that Missouri cares, but is their three posters with 7 profiles, each, that are telling the rant it is not relevant.
Oh, and the fact that happened riiiiight after they lost a sec series.
Their fans are fine. It’s the short fellas, in the secR…..they can’t reach those grapes and are actually telegraphing that it bothers them.
So predictable like clockwork.

This used to be more accurate 10 years ago or so, but has shifted a lot in the last few years with college players being drafted higher and getting to the MLB a lot faster.
