Offseason news

On Opening Day, the NCAA announced the decision to declare senior pitcher Ben Wetzler ineligible due to violating NCAA regulations. When deciding whether to forgo his senior year in favor of playing professionally, Wetzler had contact with an adviser who in turn had contact with a professional organization. The NCAA declared Wetzler ineligible for 20% of the team's games, making him eligible on Sunday, March 2, a home matchup slated against the Wright State Raiders.[2]

gollark: By which I mean "not really cables I guess but things which electrical signals go down".
gollark: Yes, fair, I mean "cables" in the general sense.

gollark: No, you sometimes have to transmit RF signals down cables from your antenna.
gollark: Anyway, phones aren't really designed for external antennas, especially since carrying radio-frequency signals down cables or whatever is hard.
