Yesterday one of the commentators was saying that there was 4 D1 school that don't have a baseball program. Does anyone remember what they were?

EDIT: Maybe he was saying Power Five conferences.

Iowa St is one

I can think of North Texas, SMU, and Iowa State off the top of my head

SMU? I know they dropped it years ago and am not sure if they ever reinstated it.

They have not.

I think it's actually that only 4 schools from Power 5 conferences that don't have baseball teams. I'm quite sure that there are more D1 schools don't have a team.

All I can think of is Wisconsin and Iowa State

Wisconsin, Syracuse, Iowa State... Can't remember the 4th.

EDIT: and Colorado, as stated below.

I think there are more than 4. Something like 46 don't have baseball.

347 play D1 basketball. There are 301 that play D1 baseball.

Colorado did not field a team when we were in the Big 12.

Colorado doesn't have baseball.

We posted at the same time. You are correct and they still don't have a team.

Boston, Colorado, Syracuse, and Wisconsin are the 4 from the big 5 I can think of.

ETA: Iowa State

So its:
Wisconsin
Iowa State
Syracuse
Colorado

Thanks guys

What? I thought everybody knew smu doesnt have a baseball team. They havent had one in nearly 40 years.

I believe that's four...in under ten minutes. Texags really does know stuff.

Or we have nothing productive to do except watch college baseball and be on Texags

You make this sound like it is a bad thing.

Add Colorado State and Wyoming to the list (unless we're only counting Power 5).

I think it's just four Power 5 teams without baseball. Several non-power 5 schools don't play. Besides those mentioned UTEP, Tulsa, Utah State and Boise State don't have baseball teams.

do some of you really think that in all of DI athletics only 4 schools don't have baseball teams...

Alabama Birmingham, American, Boston, Cleveland State, UC Davis, Colorado, Colorado State, Denver, Idaho, Idaho State, Boise State, Iowa State, Montana, Montana State, Morgan State, Portland State, SMU, Temple, Drake, DePaul, Marquette, South Carolina State, Utah State, Vermont, Hampton, Howard, Duquense, Wyoming, Weber State....

There's more

We're aware of that, I edited the OP that concludes only Power 5 Teams for the discussion.

Alabama Birmingham (UAB) does have baseball, though. They are currently 1-0 in the CUSA tournament after beating host, Southern Miss, in round one.

colorado

SMU baseball team is called Dallas Baptist

So even when the Big 12 had 12 teams there were only 10 baseball teams.

Colorado doesnt have a baseball or softball team. Not sure how many other D1 schools have neither baseball nor softball teams.

Random bump Hall of Fame candidate.

The biggest issue of this thread, is what is D1? It changes by sport.

Sane with UNT had it in the 80's and early 90's then dropped it. They were awful but really didn't give a true effort and played at a city park that was awful.

D1 does not change. However, there are subdivisions for football. Also, schools can join conferences by sport that are D1 for that sport only. For example: Notre Dame is a member of the ACC, except for football, which it is an independent. But for ice hockey, it is a member of the Big 10. DBU is an affiliate member of CUSA, but for baseball only. Otherwise, it is in DII. I think Lone Star conference, but I'm not sure. These are all SCHOOL specific, but not D1 specific. It doesn't really change unless the NCAA doesn't offer the sport as a championship.

Water Polo has some weird conference affiliations that still like back to NCAA championships. Look it up if you're interested further. I'm not.
