You play almost every cupcake at home and half your SEC games are on the road. The competition is tougher on the road.

Hitting a baseball after traveling and being in an unfamiliar setting does affect hitting. It's just one more reason why home teams have an advantage and winning a conference road series is more difficult than winning vs the same oppoinent at home.

Now, if they were caught... immediate post season ban and Coach should be out of college baseball forever. If you really want to stop cheating, then stop it with real punishement for all the coaches involved. Otherwise, it's playing like you want it stopped with no real punishement. Limiting scholarships? What else, fines? None of that stuff means anything. Ban that coach from the game and it stops immediately.
Does scholarship bans even do anything when you can just bump up their NIL money?
