Reply to "Alaska Baseball League"

Moc1 and TXbaseball1 ...

The Alaskan league was NOT one of the "sanctioned" leagues per the NCAA listing that used to exist. Though a player from an NCAA school can play in Alaska without jeopardizing their eligibility, the Alaskan league did not fulfill all the requirements of the NCAA ... e.g., they allow high school players who were not yet eligible; they allow former professional players (Alaskan residents are permitted to play and cannot be refused according to Alaskan law/regulations). The "sanctioning" that was formerly done by the NCAA involved very strict adherance to college eligibility, maximum number of players from one school on the same roster, etc. and as I remember, also involved MLB involvement in the way of financial support of the league. Based on a post quite a while back (by TPM, I believe) the NCAA no longer "sanctions" leagues, so that may change the way these leagues do business.

Just some info ...
