Yep. Brett Baty, Kyle Mueller, Simeon Woods-Richardson all would’ve been Horns.

This would make college baseball so much better talent wise

100%

The players would need to agree to it in the CBA negotiations.

@Jeff Howe any updates on targets ? Thanks for all the great work you guys do!!🤘🏻

Texas has had some absolute STUDS in the past they never made it to campus. this would be cool

Major League Baseball trying to get colleges to do their low level player development and reduce overhead.

Ouch

I have come around to liking the super conference. Otherwise you are regulating the market and subsidizing the weak which ultimately creates a lesser product IMO. The left out schools will fill the gap between the new supers and DII and DIII. If the market wants to see those teams play they will have the tv deals to back it all. Otherwise, people have voted with their pocketbook and it was never meant to be.

I like this!!

Someone asked me what that means. It means 1 point for each score regardless where you shoot from on the court. If you scored, you got the the ball back. You had the check the ball with the defender at the top of the key after scoring. There weren't no foul call BS. You could try to call one, but the guys watching wouldn't back you up if you didn't really get fouled. That said, I never ran into a guy that wouldn't admit he fouled you if you called it. You didn't call it unless it was on the shot.

When would this go into effect?

A change like this would have a few trickle down effects: Colleges would be able to retain elite, top recruits out of the high school ranks without fear of losing kids immediately to the MLB Draft. To me, it reads as the MLB wanting to use college baseball more as a developmental source for its top product. I bet you see a low level of college A-ball wiped out. I also read it as schools with strong developmental histories would greatly benefit from this change. The SEC, Carolina schools, California schools, etc. We will see what happens. But could certainly increase the level of talent across the board at the college ball level.

I want a super conference or major realignment so Tech can get left out (because nobody forgot what they did). How funny would it be if Houston, Baylor, TCU, SMU, OSU all found homes and Tech got left out?

"What we did today was say we're not going to let the most powerful, richest conferences dictate to the rest of America what's going to happen to 500,000 athletes," Cantwell said during the Commerce Committee voting session. This is a direct quote from the bills co-sponsor (M.Cantwell, Senator from Washington state). This pretty much captures the essence and the perspective of the senator(s) pushing this bill through the legislative process. Notice Sen Cantwell doesn’t even mention anything about the bill’s other major features (transfer rules, compensation issues, anti-trust exemption), but instead is singularly focused on protecting the poor little 500,000 athletes from the big, bad P2 conferences (SEC / B1G). Like it or not, this is the prevailing narrative and clearly this is how the legislation is being framed. Whether or not this becomes the law of the land is still to be determined, but we are certainly not winning the battle of public opinion here.

I’m just a bill, I’m just a bill, sitting here on Capital Hill…

yea it got a little weird

Yes. Both will turn 21 before Aug. 1, 2027.

They're gone. They'll both be early-round picks.

AI says 2001 22 year old Kobe would kill any year Luka 1v1.

Now we got fat white boys like Luka, slow goobers like Jokic, and unathletic chumps like Curry hyped as the "best" players. That's why nobody cares what happens now. They need to go back to the pre-2001 rules and run a real man's league.

So players won't be able to go straight from high school, but they could leave college sooner. I don't mind that change

https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-draft-proposal-high-school-international-cba-negotiations/ MLB proposing changes to draft eligibility in new CBA, eliminating high school eligibility and lowering the draft age to 20. Would be huge for college programs and Texas if it goes through.
