Do you believe the Elite 8 had the 8 best NCAA teams in it this year?I understand your points, and there are some really good ones in your posts.
I disagree with one thing you mentioned, and it is just personal preference. It has nothing to do with right and wrong.
I believe the goal of any system should be to get the best 8 teams to the State Tournament. Your stance on it being about getting the best regional teams together, fair point. I just don't agree.
With that said, yes there will be some travel requirements. Yes it is expensive to travel or it can be anyway. However, if all we care about is travel expense, we could go to a system where we don't have a State Tournament. We simply crown our regional champions and that's it. Yes it is a stupid idea, but it would save travel expense.
Should Kentucky have another chance to get in even tho they lost in the sub-district round?
Define the 8 best teams...
What is a perceived team that is one of the better ones has to travel to wildcard points from say Wahoo to Chadron and loses? Do we say oh well or was it the Chadron was better?
What is Chadron has to drive to Wahoo? Does that change the thought process?
A lot of the moves seem to favor a section of the state and that does not benefit the goal of NSAA activities!!
