Let me tell you why they should drop baseball.
1) Its a disgrace to be this bad and its not just one season its multiple seasons. This is a total black eye to the university. I think it does more harm to football or basketball than anything else... Mizzou is a perineal loser where as Tennessee is out there on ESPN PLUS WINNING in baseball just another reminder Tennessee is good at everything.
2) No one will even notice. Sports are important to a school especially football and basketball. But if Mizzou dropped baseball you wouldn't lose a single student. The stadium isn't even on campus. No one would care.
3) Resources for baseball as small as it is could be moved to womans softball or woman's basketball two sports we can't drop because of football. In the coaching staff alone we're spending in excess of a million dollars, up keep of the facilities, and NIL. I have no idea how much that is total but that money could make the softball team a powerhouse.
4) With baseball gone its one less thing to cry about. With that being said think this thru here... we have a sport like wrestling which most SEC schools done have so we have wrestling they have baseball its fine.
5) Mizzou simply can't afford baseball because they invest so heavy into football. We're doing everything to stay afloat in football that we just don't have the money for baseball. If we went back to the big 12 or played in even the Big 10 its fine... but not in the SEC. We're just never going to compete no matter whom we hire it just won't matter without a 60 million dollar brand new facility and more money directed into NIL for baseball.
Lets just own its NOT going to happen!
There is really only one option CANCEL BASEBALL!
In order to save baseball which Mizzou has shown ZERO interest in fixing, you need a better coach - new facilities - double NIL money - but think about this for a second... they can't even turf the outfield in going on 10 years.
CANCEL BASEBALL!
