Ball State and other teams deserve a spot in the NCAA tournament

 




Ball State baseball went 40-19 last year. The Cardinals also went 32-7 in conference. Despite all that they didn't make the NCAA tournament.  The rule for the MAC is you must win the conference Tournament.  The cardinals came up short against Central Michigan however they had a great season. Now that being said C. Michigan earned the spot and they deserved it. Ball State like UTSA and Rutgers were some of the teams many pundits thought got snubbed at the end of the 2022 season. The question is now is it time for tournament expansion. In College Football they will now expand to 12 teams for the college football playoff. In college basketball they introduced the first four in a couple years back.  Is now the time for college baseball to introduce a bigger bracket? Who knows only time will tell. Nevertheless Ball State opens up with Charlotte to begin the 2023 season.
