We need change @NCAA. Love this sport & those who play it. Playing thru middle of the night to come back tomorrow & play a doubleheader on the biggest stage of their lives. It’s not right. Men’s CWS has double the amount of days with the same amount of teams. They deserve better

Would that be the same for those students on an academic scholarship? Or just the athletes?
If college athletes are going to make money off their likenesses while in school, their scholarships should be treated like income. I’ll be introducing legislation that subjects scholarships given to athletes who choose to “cash in” to income taxes.

Immediately brought back so many memories with my dad & sis!! Hours of BP with makeshift protection nets my dad would make at home and we would put on top of our car, drive to any local field we could find and hit 👊🏽♥️🥎
I’m in Montana right now visiting family. Just passed by a baseball field by my parents house. This dad is throwing BP to his kid while holding up a twin mattress with his other hand... and it’s below freezing outside. Had to take a pic. This is dedication!

This is NOT why the obstruction rule exists. Could the runner have reached home plate if she got there before the throw? Yes. Did the throw arrive to the catcher before there was even a play? Yes. Did this play decide one of the best games of the year? YES
