Michigan baseball coach Erik Bakich, with input from prominent coaches around the country, has produced a 35-page proposal that, if adopted, would reshape the college baseball schedule while substantially reducing operating costs of individual programs.
The ambitious plan, called the “New Baseball Model,” was unveiled Thursday and conceivably could be in place by 2022 once it goes through layers of legislation on the NCAA level.
In this plan, the season would start third Friday in March — it began in mid-February this year — and end the third weekend in June. The College World Series would be held in July.
