Indiana University

I can't speak of the university and the baseball program, but I do know that the new stadium is right beside the old one.

We went to a tournament there a few weeks ago and had a great time. The people of Bloomington were very nice and the town has a great "hometown" feel to it. So far, it is our favorite place we have visited this year.

jack...new coach, new stadium.

It is a basketball school. Always will be.

Definitely a basketball school, with socc*r a distant second.

It is a great school though. Absolutely gorgeous campus, great college town and friendliest people you'd want to ever meet. Also excellent academics and the least expensive out of state tuition I've ever seen.

Indiana, like all Big 10 schools, is a great academic institution. Everyone I know who has gone there (and our area sends many students there, even though it is an out of state school) has loved it. As far as baseball is concerned, there isn't a single Big 10 school that could be considered a "baseball school" The baseball will be good, though. And the "big school" "big sports" atmosphere can make it a lot of fun. Consider it.

Just reading the post above, it occures to me that I can't think of any school that I would consider a "baseball" school. Baseball at the college level is rarely a revenue producing sport and with a few exceptions, most schools get small attendance for baseball games. Football or basketball are usually the kings and in some places even socc*r or lacrosse.

My alma mater, Univ. of So. California has 12 NCAA baseball titles, more than double any other school and I don't think anyone would call USC a "baseball school". Even other schools in SoCal that have no football team like Loyola or Pepperdine seem to be more well known for basketball or volleyball. College baseball rarely has a dominant presence at any campus.

Hey...Mississippi State University is a baseball school.

Revenue producing and very good attendance.

One of the best in the country. Best venue, too.

le moyne college is one. actually i think pepperdine could be considered a baseball school. their basketball team isn't like their baseball team. at least the way i think of it, when i hear pepperdine i think baseball (partly because it is danny haren's alma mater). how about loyola marymount?

Indiana University is a baseball team on the rise. They get better recruiting classes each year. This year good newcomers are Ethan Wilson (freshman) and Micheal Early (transfer from Cincinnati). They should be very competitive this year.

My Son visited the campus and met with the coaches this past year. The coaching staff is new and very good.

Matt Middleton has a great winning reputation in Connie Mack ball and is a new hire up there.

Great folks and a beautiful area of the country. Very picturesque. I would definately say a program on the rise.

If it were not so far away, and we were in state, my guy would have signed with them. 10 hours from home was too far for us.

Floridafan- agree completely with your thoughts on the IU program, but unfortunately Matt was only there for a short time. He is evidently back in Cincinnati with his family and not with the IU program at this point.
