@PlayByPlayGuy1 At first it was “we can’t afford it” at first, however when we called them out that D1 and D3 both spent a higher % of their budget on championships than D2…crickets. Now, NCAA D2 leadership is “staying in their lane” and following Charlie Baker’s attempt to appease D1

@MWSUGriffons @MWSUbaseball Proud!

The foundation has officially been set ⚾️

[Andrew V. Carter @AVCAD]

@GAC_Commish The base of any postseason plan should provide for conference AQ’s. That satisfies regionalization. The remainder of the field should be the best teams regardless of region. Details matter, but this is not as hard as others portray.

@MWSUGriffons Let’s Go!!! #GriffUp
