I'm shocked the ACC hasn't already forced Syracuse to field a basebal team by a certain date. I know it was a basketball move but an ACC team should be required to have a baseball team.

It wasn't a basketball move. The Big East is stronger than the ACC. It was a business move based on football issues will ultimately cause the Big East to crumble. Why should Syracuse be forced to have a baseball program? How are they going to draw ACC level talent to play in their weather?

I agree with Bulldog19 that it would be difficult to force a school to add a sport as there are cost issues as well as possible Title IX issues. Syracuse has a softball team. There are other D1 baseball schools in upstate NY including Albany, Binghampton, Buffalo, and Cornell. Granted it is the ACC we're talking about, but it is doable (Carrier Dome?) or they may spend the first 4-6 weeks on the road like most northern teams. This is no different than other D1 northern schools, but the...

Missed the original post by pop up. Have corresponded with him over the years. I know he had very high hopes for sons basebal and was never happy with it.

This is a great read from a long time coach and player. "Baseball Is Life Is Baseball" was inspired by a magical high school baseball season culminating in a State Championship. The lessons learned along the way serve as a recipe for success both on and off the field. The author uses his vast experience as teacher, coach, and player to list the ingredients and proper blending of them necessary to guarantee success. This is not a book of baseball fundamentals. It is about the many qualities...

The good ones are $350 https://www.amazon.com/Basebal...ipment/dp/B00W81SDYE And unless you have an existing backstop, you'll also need something like this behind it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095826NQ5

First, I played football, basketball and baseball in high school. I also skied on my own. I grew up in an era of play the sport in season. When the kids were little (daughter five years older than son) they were introduced to as many team and individual sports as possible based on the season. By high school my daughter (played college softball) played volleyball, basketball, ran second team 200m and 400m relays on Saturday nights for indoor track without practicing and softball. Because...
