In a vacuum, it would make sense. For northern baseball programs it makes sense, but not for student athletes. If baseball were a money maker, it would make sense. But it isn't.

I just don't see it happening. College Baseball has a number of guys just in college to play, but it still has a significant amount of student-athletes. College Football and Basketball players are primarily athletes forced to also be something resembling a student. Being a real student means real majors, and too many of those require summer internships for securing an after college career. Things like engineering, computer science, cyber security, accounting, marketing, etc. The NCAA liking this model is a looooonnnnng shot.
