Final Votes on Baseball 3rd Coach

This is beyond frustrating. College baseball deserves better

You might want to check that, as Kim Capriotti is a finance professor at Jacksonville (part of Atlantic Sun Conference). The conference voted "yes", while she voted "no".

Again, please take off your tin foil hat as there is no conspiracy here. What I think you see are the conferences that value baseball/softball versus those that probably don't do well in these sports and thus don't want to allocate additional dollars to supporting them. If baseball generated enough revenue for everyone to justify, you'd have "yes" votes across the board.

Oddly enough, there was some baseball powerhouses like FSU and UNC who voted no. Some said they didn't think softball should have been lumped in with the vote but at the end of the day, paying another coach was 100% voluntary. Most coaches wanted it due to opening up more jobs with benefits for their people. Even big schools that pay well, volunteer coaches like Coach Cheese might make $60k but has zero benefits. Some guys said they would even pay the other coach out of their own salary just to get the guys retirement and health insurance.
