College baseball feels like the last of the big NCAA sports where mid-majors have a chance to make some noise.
And that is why its stock is skyrocketing.
Its absolutely criminal what happened to the @MercerBaseball I remember something like this happening to @GoCamelsBSB a few years back. 44 Wins #28RPI #3 in HR's 5 Power 5 Wins. Not sure what much more you can do to get in without winning your conference. Yet we let the @SEC get 12 bids. News Flash When you move to a conference for money revenue, that is the choice you make. It does not give you a hall pass to the tournament in any sport. It can't be a have your cake and eat it too world. This is how you ruin a college sport which is already struggling with athlete transfer and backlog issues.

Mercer missing the field is bad for college baseball.
If a mid-major can win 44 games, finish top 30 in RPI, rank among the national leaders in homers and still miss, what exactly is the path supposed to be outside the power conferences?

So tip of the cap to Northeastern. But this is devastating for Campbell, after going 41-17 overall, 26-4 in the CAA — that's a regional-caliber team, clearly. But at No. 60 in the RPI (48 DSR/72 KPI this am), it's just not gonna happen for the Camels, in all likelihood. Crushing.
It's been a mixed bag for teams that dominated mid-major leagues in regular season but needed to win auto bids to get in. Always feels like a shame when the clear-cut best team (ORU, Wright State, St. Joe's, High Point, Campbell, Gonzaga) can't get it done in conference tourney.

The Camels set a new @CAASports wins total after securing its 26th conference victory with today’s 12-4 win over UNCW.
