Will the committee start tinkering with the points system so Texas doesn't win too many in a row?

hmmm....well, to be clear, Texas has won 4 of the last 5 since reform coinciding maybe with Covid to only include revenue generating sports that at least 50% of other schools participate. As it happened, almost all of the sports The Card cut were sports over 90% of other schools did not field (I use that word lightly) a team, like Co-ed sailing, (really?). So now that its a more level playing field, schools like (you know who), North Carolina, and of course, Texas (who is almost assuredly going to win it again this year in the last 5 days of the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field events conclude June 13) have competitive shot at.

Apparently, thanks to the unexpected run by men's golf, it's still mathematically possible for Stanford to win the DC. 

We need 6-seed Texas baseball to lose its Super Regional vs 11-seed Oregon.

And we need Texas men's and women's T&F to massively underperform

And we need Stanford women's T&F to massively overperform.

Practically speaking, of course, Vandelay is correct.

And of course now that Texas won it's Super Regional against Oregon, it's all but academic (or rather, mathematically still) Texas will win again. Advancing to the CWS now means that Texas could call in sick on half their events at the T&F championships and still get better than 49th place, enough to overtake Stanford for the win. But, as you say, mathematically speaking, Stanford is still in.
