Sad thing is, I know that even if money wasn't an issue that some conferences would still resist going to three.

The state could've required this years ago and they *still* refuse to make that call. Hell, they still assign the first two rounds (boys and girls) 2-person. Why would these conferences NOT think it was OK -- if it's good enough for the post-season, it's good enough for the regular season.
Luckily on the Peninsula that is not the mindset. All 3 classes of public schools do 3-man for BV. AA & AAA do 3-man for GV. Still have some Single-A schools who do 2-man for GV but a lot those games really don't need a 3rd officials. The larger private schools will schedule 3-man for selected games.

Everything is 3-man for public schools once the play-offs hit.
