On the heels of two College World Series titles won by their instate rivals, Oregon State, the University of Oregon is bringing back its baseball program.
Quick questions:
- How much weight should we put on OSU's recent success in the decision to bring baseball back to OU? Are Duck boosters just nutty over the fact that the Beavers are having great success in baseball while the ducks can't even swim in the same pond?
- Is this an overall sign that college baseball is as healthy as ever?
- How much credit should we give to the current playoff format, a format that gives northern teams a fighting chance at winning championships?
- Will Iowa State and Colorado bring back their college baseball programs?
