Comments
Jason Kidd (Mar 26 06:47:34 2020 ): I am for this (and in the Big 10) but they are not a Tier 1 baseball conference. Teams and conferences do need to be updated, however.
Patrick Creaven (Jul 1 23:43:16 2023 ): tl;dr - Conferences and teams: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_Division_I_baseball_programs - Tier 1 Conferences: SEC, ACC, Big Twelve, Pac Twelve, Big Ten. - Tier 2: Sun Belt, Colonial Athletic, Conference USA, American Athletic, Big West, Missouri Valley, Big East, Southern, Southland, Big South, WAC, ASUN, West Coast, Mountain West, and Mid-American. - Tier 3: American East, Ohio Valley, Horizon, Patriot League, Metro Atlantic League, Ivy League, Summit League, Northeastern, Southwest Athletic, Independents.
