Here’s a quick list of a possible Mini Professional league. I really think I would be great if the Top 30 broke away. That would leave a lot of name teams and I think would be nothing at all like DII, but rather a very good league that would have lots of interest.
The point is not to argue the teams I listed. I know several on here are debatable and I didn’t list a few that could probably be here. This is not a researched list, so there could also be a few teams that I simply didn’t think about.
Top 25 (in no particular order)
Michigan
Ohio St.
Nebraska
Penn St
USC
UCLA
Washington
Wisconsin
Oregon
LSU
Alabama
Tennessee
Ole Miss
aTm
Texas
Oklahoma
Georgia
Florida
Florida St
Clemson
Miami
Auburn
Arkansas
Notre Dame
Iowa
Next 20 (again, no particular order, but I did give state schools a bit more preference otherwise I would definitely take off Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Kansas, and South Carolina…and probably Kentucky, Colorado, and Virginia).
Arizona
Utah
North Carolina
Michigan St
Kentucky
Illinois
Minnesota
Virginia
Colorado
Arizona St
Missouri
Texas Tech
Oklahoma St.
South Carolina
Indiana
Kansas
Mississippi St.
Baylor
Virginia Tech
Syracuse
One bad umpire call in the bottom of the 5th just started Tulsa on a downward spiral after being up 8-4. A WSU player swung and missed or foul tipped on an 0-2 count and it was caught by the catcher, but low. I guess there was no video replay available and the ump must have ruled dropped ball by the catcher? The Tulsa coach was livid. They reset the count again at 0-2 and of course then the player gets a single and a snowball from there. WSU went on to score 7 runs that inning which included several throwing errors or dropped balls by Tulsa.
Yeah it seems Tulsa has blown a lot of leads this year. We have too but Tulsa's blown leads seemed bigger. Now FAU has to play after a week off against the home team who has scored 24 runs in 2 games. Barnard has hit like four homers lol.
Calipari said the turnover in college basketball in the transfer portal era has changed his philosophy on assembling rosters.
"You may think I'm crazy, but I told my staff I only want to have eight or nine guys," Calipari told Robinson, who is now executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches. "They're leaving anyway, and why would I develop a kid for someone else? Why would I do that?"
Calipari said he has talked to other coaches who have discussed similar strategies.

(Injuries would be a good reason to stock extra players, as NT saw last season)
