With Utah leaving, we have five baseball schools. Is there a requirement for at least six?
Looking over the NCAA sponsorship list, it appears a sixth team would have to come from the independents. Schools try to stay within all-sports leagues as much as possible.
Wouldn't that make Dallas Baptist a prime candidate? (For whatever reason, DBU did not appear on the final 2010 NCAA Baseball RPI release.) DBU plays D1 schools throughout its schedule.
Other independents that might make some georgraphical sense (with their RPI ranking) would be Cal State-Bakersfield (#318), Houston Baptist (#327), Northern Colorado (N/A), Seattle (#192) and Utah Valley (#342).
Would be interested on insights as to how this is likely to work out.
