Some Chicago Cubs players aren't fans of conference realignment and its effect on the college sports landscape — including how it could affect student-athletes in the classroom.
Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner makes at throw for Stanford in February 2018. He was the Cubs' first-round pick four months later.
The Pac-12 historically has served as a pipeline to Major League Baseball as a dominant conference. Five of the top six schools to produce MLB players are in the Pac-12, according to Baseball Reference. Stanford ranks fourth. “That’s a shared experience for a lot of guys that I played against growing up and then played against in college and then now in the big leagues.”
“It’s a shame to see it all being blown up,” Madrigal told the Tribune. “I understand that football brings in most of the money, especially at some of these big-time schools, but I don’t know if it’s worth hurting all the other sports, at least for Oregon State. If they were to go to, like, the Mountain West, that would be a huge jump down to competition level, just from the recruits to everything. It’s going to affect it big-time, so I don’t know what they’re going to do.
“It definitely prepared me for the big leagues in terms of the high-intensity games and high-energy games,” Wisdom told the Tribune. “That college experience helps out more than just the baseball aspect. It’s also learning how to live with other people, a lot of time-management skills, the travel but also getting your homework done. So you’re learning a lot of life skills that prep you for pro ball for sure.
