I really doubt the primary obstacle to 3-man is the thought of more fouls being called.

Money is the biggest issue. Anyway you slice it, it's usually a pay cut. At $42-$48 per varisty game for 2 man, it would go to $28-$32 and the schools would still not break even when they now have to pay 3 mileages.
You would be surprised. When the NCAA started to use the 3 Man system that was the complaint. When my state changed the foul total was the supposed complaint. Money might be one of the reasons, but when you pay the table personnel more than you pay the officials. I think most schools can find less than $100 increase each home game.

Peace
