Yep. How long will it be before MLB teams take over the NIL for certain programs & just use them as farm clubs?
It would be interesting but I don't see how they can control where those players go. The Yankees could've supported LSU in 2023 but then watch Skenes still go to the Pirates and Crews to the Nats.

College baseball wouldn't fully blow up until they move the start of the season back a month. That's when you get the interest of the midwest and northeast TV markets.
I love Southern college baseball, but from an objective point of view- the Big 10 is the wealthiest conference, and they're smack in the middle of baseball territory (the MLB footprint). It makes sense to get them cranked up, but you can't play in most of those markets for a good month, if not more.
Purely from a business angle, it makes no sense that the Sun Belt is stronger than the Big 10.
