Pack quickly getting the TFCO award for the postseason.
Others invited to testify include former West Virginia and Ohio State president Gordon Gee, Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua and Pac-12 commissioner Teresa Gould, sources tell @YahooSports.
The witness list is expected to be finalized soon. A college athlete is expected as well.
Hot take: Day 1 of College Baseball Regional play >Day 1 of March Madness. Call it recency bias but if you looked unsuccessfully for Cinderella in March, she’s not hard to find today.

Here's a crazy @d1baseball nugget that I stumbled upon...
In 2026, there were only 9 teams (2.9%) that avg'd at least 5 IP from their starting P.
3 are tourney teams - Auburn, Louisiana, Northern IL.
In 2021, 76 teams avg'd 5 IP (26%)
In 2017, 137 teams (!!!) avg'd 5 IP (46%)

I was really looking forward to ABS in the SEC tournament. Fans love it more than I expected in pro ball.
Now that I know the zone is going to be big (not even technically a strike under the rulebook), I’m not so sure. For example, the pitch in this graphic is most definitely a ball in the big leagues and probably in most SEC games.
Official SEC 2026 ABS specs:
• Width: 19 inches (home plate is 17” wide). • Top: 58% of the batter’s certified standing height. • Bottom: 23% of the batter’s certified standing height. • It’s positioned over the middle of the plate (8.5” in front of the back tip).
For comparison (per MLB’s official ABS specs):
• Width: 17 inches. • Top: 53.5% of height. • Bottom: 27% of height.
That’s roughly 6–7 inches bigger vertically than MLB’s 2026 ABS zone for the same player. Add the extra 2 inches of width and you get a noticeably bigger target. For a typical SEC hitter around 6’1” (73”), the zone runs from roughly 16.8” to 42.3” high. Still a big rectangle that includes pitches that would often look “up” or “down” to the naked eye (and definitely off the plate edges).
I guess we will see. It will likely take out the most egregious bad calls but leave mildly bad calls which is so odd to me. 🤔 But that’s the point of an experiment.
