Word came today that the NCAA is once again tinkering with the format of the College World Series in Omaha. The plan now is to start one day later on a Saturday and not begin the best-of-three championship series until the second Monday of the tournament.
While I suppose it's always natural to dislike change, you have to wonder why the NCAA would want to mess with something that has been as popular and successful as the CWS has been in Omaha. It would seem that the possibility of having no games the second weekend of the tournament could potentially kill the momentum of the event.
I'm sure there are plenty of good reasons why the changes are being made (besides ESPN told them to do it), but when the NCAA is involved, you almost always know that it's more about dollars than sense.
