College baseball Bluebloods

Since they were ranking the basketball bluebloods, I thought what the heck.
Here is an article I found with a workable list.
LINK
-USC Trojans (12 National Championships)
-LSU Tigers (7 National Championships)
-Texas Longhorns (6 National Championships)
-Arizona State Sun Devils (5 National Championships)
-Miami Hurricanes (4 National Championships)
-Cal State Fullerton (4 National Championships)
-Arizona Wildcats (4 National Championships)
Of course there is more to being a blueblood than just championships, but that is a good place to start.

this is probably a good start. I don't recall Arizona winning anything recently

Arizona winning anything recently
They won one in '12, but no, that's not particularly recent.
Still, if you're going predominantly recent results, I'd drop Southern Cal, Miami, and AZ State from this list, as well. None have been very good in the last 15 years or more.

I don't think that half of the teams on that list are bluebloods anymore.
They may have been at one point but they've been passed by a good bit of the SEC.

Now do wins.

What is significant about 1990?
I know in basketball they say 1985 began the modern era, which is when the tourney moved to 64 teams. So I am curious what is significant about '90?

Super Regionals started in 1999. This is also the year the field was expanded to 64 teams.That should probably be the cutoff, but then half of the OP's blueblood list would definitely be out of contention after that point. 26years is plenty of time to guage recent relevance of the blueblood list.

If we are doing 99 onward then
LSU - 3
Oregon St - 3
Miami - 2
Tx - 2
South Carolina - 2
Vandy - 2

I get it, but blueblood status means longtime, so the past is pretty important. Bluebloods are not necessarily the top dogs any longer. Blueblood means born into it. You can't be totally broke, but you don't have to be currently at the top. New money is not blueblood. It's an interesting discussion, especially because the team at the top isn't even relevant at all anymore.

It’s as good a place as any if you’re determining the best baseball program. I think it’s a stretch to say anyone outside of ncaa football or bball is a blue blood. College baseball is too regional to have a media darling, it’s no school’s top prioroty in terms of spending(the gap divide from top teams to bottom teams isn’t as noticeable), coastal Carolina(sub mid major at the time) has won a title more recently than half the teams from your list. That stuff doesnt happen in big money sports.

Honestly the team that wins every year has as much to do with climate as it does tradition

No Tennessee? List is shite.

Would you still consider Nebraska to be a blueblood in football?

That's like saying small teams like Butler or TCU making it to a national championship game in a big money sport didn't happen. A small revenue team like Fresno State or Coastal Carolina winning it all doesn't discount the whole sport. I would also disagree with media coverage. Some of the SEC baseball games ratings outperform half of the MLB.

i think you have to include the old schools
Blue Blood means aristocracy
Sometimes that doesn’t mean current success.

With all the baseball talent in California, if USC updated their facilities and put a little money in NIL they would be back
