That about says it all, doesn't it? More schools hosting tournament games, bringing in more gate receipts and concession money, then the IHSA gets to sell more State Championship t-shirts, television time, etc., on down the line. So, of course the decision is driven by money.

Again, I was looking at it from strictly a selfish point of view as an official. Those considerations will be well down the list when the IHSA determines the change. But it just seems from my point of view that if there are more champions, and more championship games, working those games loses a little of its current luster.
