Because we hired a baseball coach from a B1G school?


I think some are reading way too much into this. I think Tech got a coach from UMCP plain and simple. I don't really consider this a slight against the B1G or a gigantic win for the ACC. I hope (really hope) this turns out to be a big win for Tech baseball. I could care less if it makes the B1G look bad or ACC look good at this point. I just want to return to winning baseball teams.

Now... when the ACC schools start stealing good football and basketball coaches from the B1G or SEC, then it will have relevance. Otherwise, we could say the Big XII has the ACC's number because ISU stole Coach Dresser from us.

Non-revenue sport coaching hires have more to do with the situation (i.e school location, family desires, the sport program, opportunity, etc) than it does with the conference they are going to. Not saying the conference doesn't matter, because ACC baseball is very good and competitive, but coaching baseball in any P5 conference is a good deal.

Maybe Szefc liked Blacksburg and didn't care for College Park. I know that was a draw for Fuente.
