"ESPN's involvement in the CWS is a wonderful thing for college baseball, but sometimes it's a shame how much college baseball is forced to bend to the will of its broadcast "partner.""

[...] Omaha deals with rain: In what has become a yearly tradition at the College World Series, storms washed out the scheduled Kent State/South Carolina elimination game. It was rescheduled for this morning, and that poses a problem for the winner because they’ll have to play again later that night against a fresh Arkansas team. While this wouldn’t be unusual in regional play, the schedule in Omaha has a built-in off day Saturday for situations like this, but they’re choosing to not utilize it.

Giving the assignment to Mike Patrick has proven to be a sign of diminished priority from ESPN. He appears painfully unprepared in regards to team rosters and relevant background storylines. I have also noted that espn.com has CWS news buried a few layers deeper than I remember in years past. Once uncovered, the information even lacks depth and timely updating. Scheduling issues aside (and clearly they have created disadvantages), I feel the network has done a poor job with this years grand finale in Omaha.

Sad & crazy that one of college sports' premier events plays second fiddle to those titillating programming choices.
