Ask some of the old guys in your towns what it was like. My school was a Class C champion, and they were pretty proud of it. Didn't seem to be a problem for them.

that's all fine and dandy but i bet 50 years ago we probably had 50 more HS than we do now. NOW it doesnt make any sense. make VC their own class and let them be champions every year.

I think they should keep 2 classes but move more class b schools up. I'd take the top 32 schools and make them A. (actually 33 since Bishop Ryan and Kindred are tied) and split that into 2 regions with 2 districts. Each district adv 4 to regionals and each region adv 4 to state.

To me there is already a sweet sixteen game its called the regional championship game. Anyway its stupid at some point schools are gonna start closing down and then your just gonna have to change the system again.

the whole thing about the ndhsaa is they don't care about the level of competition. they don't care about quality of the sports. they care about making money. they care about not getting sued. that is all. of course, you'd think that they'd realize one has one to do with the other.
and basically while three tournaments will make money initially, after a couple of years it will be like the opening round of a holiday tournament where there are more people sitting on the benches for both teams than there are sitting in the stands.

However, I am NOT advocating 3 classes....
