I'm guessing it had more to do with the variety of facilities used. The thought was probably thought if you couldn't use the technology for all the games, you couldn't use it for any. We've probably also arrived at the point where all D1 officials are 100% comfortable with using timing packs.
This year is probably the first in which they've mandated and/or confirmed that all facilities, including the cavernous football stadiums usually used for the final four, can support the technology.
