Big Ten trial balloon: Fall baseball games that count - Peoria, IL - pjstar.com
The Big Ten is measuring support for a proposal that would give baseball teams the option of playing non-conference games in the fall that would count toward determining the NCAA tournament field the following spring. Big Ten coaches voted to continue studying the possibility, and deputy commissioner Brad Traviolia said Monday the conference is in the process of explaining the concept to coaches across the country.

The big ten leadership are being Idiotic. then should we move football to summer so kids only have to play in warm temps. the big ten is just embarrasing themselves again. life isnt fair. maybe if the big ten actually cared about baseball they could support there teams. Im so tired of the Big Ten constantly trying to play the victim card. I grew up playing baseball in the snow most years. I remember playing when it was 38 degrees and raining, i couldnt feel my feet after a while, but I was used to it and I still loved it. Grab your sack and man up IMO.

This is idiotic and stupid. Delaney needs to learn when to stop and shut up. The B1G doesn't care about baseball anyway. It's cash cow is football and some basketball. If they go off on their own with some dumb plan i hope NU bails out where baseball is concerned. Don't mess with tradition....

I don't think they're idiots. But dunderheads and fools sounds about right.
Like you say, support the teams, promote the sport and go all in for it. There is baseball talent in every corner of this country. Develop it and build your teams up.
Early season can be difficult for northern teams, but if they build and develop they can be playing pretty good by mid season and winning at late season. That's when it really counts so why not just go for it?
Support the teams, promote the sport and go big. As in GO B1G!

Erstad isn't OK with it. Not even close.
This issue came up what a little over a year ago or so and Erstads response was not flattering toward the dunderheads (did ya catch that one k9) in the commisioners office. I hope they drop this idea once and for all. .

I looked it up. Definitely been around. Scottish word from a Norse word which was from a German word.
The origin of the “dunder” in “dunderhead,” which first appeared in print (as far as we know) in 1630 (meaning, as the OED delightfully puts it, “a ponderously stupid person”) is, strictly speaking, uncertain. But the most likely source is the Scots verb “dunner,” meaning “to resound with a loud and reverberating noise,” especially “to fall with a loud sound.” This “dunner,” in turn, has been traced to the Old Norse “duna,” meaning “to thunder,” which in turn goes back to the Germanic root “dun,” which also gave us our English “din” for a loud noise.__TheWordDetective
Or maybe it's just Dutch.
dunderhead dun·der·head [duhn-der-hed] noun a dunce; blockhead; numbskull. Origin: 1615–25; apparently < Dutch dunder ( kop ) numbskull ( dunder thunder + kop head) + head
I like it!!!!...
