Realignment
New programs
Seattle added a varsity intercollegiate baseball program for the 2010 season.[1]
Dropped programs
Both Northern Iowa and Vermont dropped their varsity intercollegiate baseball programs following the 2009 season.[2][3]
Conference changes
Eight former Division I independents formed the new Great West Conference, whose champion would not qualify for the NCAA Tournament until the conference completed the transition period to Division I in 2020. The eight schools that formed the conference were Chicago State, Houston Baptist, NJIT, North Dakota, Northern Colorado, NYIT, Texas–Pan American, and Utah Valley.[4]
The Northeast Conference added Bryant, a former Division II member that had been an independent in 2009.[5]
The Missouri Valley Conference, which lost Northern Iowa when it dropped its program, and the America East Conference, which lost Vermont when it dropped its program, each lost one member.[2][3]
Conference formats
The Southland Conference eliminated the divisional format it had used from 2008–2009.
Preseason
The Texas Longhorns, defeated by LSU in the 2009 CWS championship series, entered the season ranked #1 in the major polls. Defending national champions LSU received a #2 ranking in the preseason.[6][7]
