2024 college baseball/softball thread

All four games so far have featured the "home" team winning by one run.

 

Who is getting millions to play college softball?

 

For those who missed the end of the late game last night, with 1 on and 1 out in the top of the ninth (score was 3-2), the Florida batter hit a deep drive to right and Texas A&M's tall right fielder reached above the fence to catch it. It would have been a homer and given Florida the lead. And also given A&M a chance for a walkoff win in the bottom of the ninth.
All four CWS games have been great so far.

Texas A&M fans being classy.
Apparently the guy was heckling Florida coach Kevin O'Sullivan, including remarks about a conspiracy theory about the death of a Florida batboy in 2021.

 

A Stanford degree is its own NIL currency.

 

There's your mistake, thinking she went to school for an education!

 

she’s got two years left and when she ends up at Oklahoma……

 

Well played by the Omaha Police to put up a clear photo that will be easily recognizable by those guys' employers.

 

So on brand for that klan. Tough guys. Toy soldiers.

 

Yes, they are a great program but according to the College Factual website, in 2022-23 the women’s softball program earned $1,586,470 in revenue and spend $5,275,218 in expenses, a net loss of $3,688,748.

LSU women's basketball lost $8 million last year. What kind of business model throws millions in NIL to programs that lose so much money?
