NEW YORK — The Southeastern Conference leads the way with four schools — Arkansas, Auburn, Florida and South Carolina — selected as hosts for the NCAA Division I baseball tournament.

The Atlantic Coast Conference, with Georgia Tech, Miami and Virginia, has three schools chosen Sunday as sites for the four-team, double-elimination regionals, which start next week.

Other hosts include: Arizona State, Cal State Fullerton, Coastal Carolina, Connecticut, Louisville, Oklahoma, Texas, TCU and UCLA. All games will be played on campus sites, except for Coastal Carolina and Connecticut.

Each of the 16 regional winners advance to the super regionals, with the eight remaining teams earning trips to the College World Series in Omaha, Neb., beginning June 19.
