Yes, good article.
The only problem this would solve (starting later), would be to give more ramp up time, especially for pitchers.
Other than that, I don't see any cost savings in going later into July. As mentioned, the program has to feed and shelter 25 players for quite awhile. Most schools are done by early May, and then what do you do if you are on 1/4 mester? You could cut down on regular season games. Eliminate 2 weekend series. That's gonna happen anyway, JMO.
I am one of those in favor of a type FBS/FCS system. I have been on both sides, getting to Omaha is so difficult even for the P5 programs. Not that it's not achievable, put you just have the better arms on a P5 program.
