From my experience with the change when ASA did this in SP, it is great for the umpire.

My question though, is it good for the game and what is expected of the umpires?

I think bloopers to short right with a play at 1B (with BU potentially in the way) and the few token IP's called from A do bear some consideration when discussing moving the BU to B to start with.

I would think better positioning on extra base hits and routine plays at 1b do in fact out weight that, but like I said, I wouldnt mind trying it on for size. Who knows, maybe next fall ball, when all the NCAA folks have worked it for a year and I have one of them for a partner, I will try it.
