Currently college baseball season runs pretty much from March through June. Most prominent baseball programs are located in the sunbelt states. A warm climate is conducive to attending games. My thought is that moving the college baseball season to a April/May through August/September time period might bring more fan interest.
Obviously college baseball would be competing for fans against major and minor league teams, but right now it one of many spring sports.
Changing the season could steer some talent toward the cod weather programs and would fill a void during the summer doldrums. Teams could play games around different locations in a state. Example Iowa has a number of minor league parks to hold games.
Is this something you even care about? I follow the Big Tens standings and catch the diamond report on B1G Network. I just think college baseball needs to consider some changes.
