Boise State adding baseball

Post by ustate98 » November 28th, 2017, 8:08 am

Boise is having a press conference to announce they're adding baseball. I know this topic has been discussed here many times before but I have to say I'd really like it if our Aggies could add baseball. I know weather would make early season games difficult but our softball team and the club baseball team work through it alright.

College baseball is a moneypit, plus we would have to have a T9 offset, which would be another money pit. We don't have Boise Albertson's money, otherwise we could.

Getting the lion’s share of the conference payout probably helps too.

I'm still bitter that they backstabbed the wrestling program.

I know that is another major obstacle to adding baseball but it the chance ever came up I'd be for adding swimming and diving for the women. We have the facilities already, it would be just the coaches and scholarships, which while still pricey may be the easiest sport to add.
