I'm not anti-mid major. My middle son went to The Citadel who has been to the CWS. My problem is the RPI is manipulating a system with strange numbers to present an agenda that is not needed. A win is a win and a loss is a loss. You should not be rewarded more for a loss on the road than a win at home. If you lose, you lose points. If you win, you get points. If you schedule bad teams all the time, it will ultimately come back to haunt you. If you want to use a system then use a system that a normal human being can comprehend but when no coach or AD can give you the formula for what do I get points for and what do I lose points for something is wrong. When the chairman of the committee cannot determine why a team is in and why a team is out and put it in an understandable sentence something is wrong. Now they are talking about giving double points if you play a team more than 400 miles from your campus. That is crazy. Their reasoning is teams in the west and northeast need incentive to play teams in the southeast. But if you don't beat the teams in the southeast you should not get rewarded for just playing them. When you look at several regional hosts seeds losses compared to teams in the SEC and ACC losses, they are not close. I also got tickled at the ones they gave credit for being hot early and others for being hot late. Make up your mind. Is it better to be hot early or late or be consistent.
BTW. The host sites should have requirements. ie. Kentucky not having motels available and a couple of teams choosing to stay 1 1/2 hours away and drive back and forth rather than stay in dorms and eat cafeteria food. Schools that cannot sit enough people for the visiting teams to have plenty of seats. Schools that cannot play in their own stadiums and go somewhere else. Put a minimum number of permanent seats requirement on it and available hotel rooms within a reasonable distance. I'm not pushing for UT to get a regional. We did not deserve it the way we have played but neither did some of the others with their records, wins/losses, motels, stadiums, or the fact that your AD is the chairman of the committee.
