WVU’s Van Zant wants a Change in RPI

West Virginia’s Greg Van Zant recently made a proposal to the NCAA about changing the RPI to make it more reasonable for Northern schools. The main point in his proposal was that 60 percent of games are won by the home team.

It is the primary factor in figuring out who is going to be the at-large selections for the NCAA Tournament. You can check out the full article from Aaron Fitt of Baseball America by clicking here.

Hattip to Palmetto State Baseball for bringing the article to my attention.
