Bomber, No one knows more than me the strength of the talent in WI... Problem is you're not going to keep the kids like Berken and Rohlinger from going to Clemson and Oklahoma...no matter what the state of the program is at UWW. And to say that UWM is not an NCAA baseball doormat is not being realistic... I'm as pro WI baseball as anyone and you can mark me down for saying that no one from the Horizon League will ever get out of the regional save the occasional flier every 10 years or so. UWW would be in the same boat and now you would be dividing an already thin talent pool between 2 D1 programs. Ask the state of Iowa how their D1 baseball programs have fared in the past years...not well. Whenever this debate comes up, people point to the relative success of Northern IL, Bradley, and UIC...people forget though that IL dwarfs us in population. Chicago is in fact the nation's 3rd largest city. More people = more potential college baseball prospects = more relative success UWM (or UWW) if they were to go to D1) will never be able to recruit on the national level...no matter what their facilites are. UIC with all their recent success has done it mostly with local kids...but then again More people = more potential college baseball prospects = more relative success.....
