Don,
Having moved from Kansas this summer to a state with an association and a ranking system based on test scores, peer evaluations, and other factors, I've got to disagree with you. I loved my time there, and had some good opportunities early in my career to do V games, but there is no doubt that Kansas really is an "old boys" network in a lot of areas, as well as in post-season assignments. I've found this association, with pretty clear rules and processes for assigning games, to be quite refreshing. I haven't done a bit of pandering, don't have to call every AD in the area trying to get games, and don't have to worry about pissing off any coaches...
Any state where coach recommendations carry the predominant weight in making post-season assignments just doesn't make sense to me...
