Again, more facts. 10 years ago elite HS players from California leaving the state was a rarity. Now it isn’t. Besides the factors that you mentioned, which are all valid, there is also a considerable difference in fan base support. SEC games regularly draw 5000+ fans per game. When UCLA plays USC I bet 5000 people don’t even know the game is being played. And I’m talking about two of the most storied programs in college baseball history. Not only does it mean more in the SEC, in the Pac12 it seems to hardly mean anything at all. I watched USC play UCLA a couple years ago and nobody was in the stands. You could hear the conversations that Little Leaguers were having in the stands on the TV broadcast. I just don’t understand the lack of interest.

I should have mentioned the fan support, which is another big factor.  Oregon State draws but that's about it.
