Iowa reporting in. We had blizzards in April. Pro baseball in Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin was screwed for the early part of the season, which is mid to late season for college baseball. The only conferences that should realistically lead in baseball every year are the SEC, C-USA, the Sun Belt, and some of the ACC and some of the Big 12. The first 3 still should be on top in college baseball pretty much always, because way up here, in February, when college baseball starts, we are still dealing with subzero low temperatures at times, with typical highs below freezing.
Out of those three, obviously the SEC has the most resources and support, and therefore success. C-USA needs to up our game, because this is an area where we can really compete, along with basketball.
