There is no "if", it's a done deal.

But I'm with Andy. At some point, it has to become about pure competition and not about participation. They play so many tournaments a year, plus league and HS play and fall ball, I cannot see what the big deal about playing ONE tournament to win. Otherwise, calling it a national championship is as ludicrous as calling the NCAA tournament a world series
