State of WI
Girls (4 Divisions) play Thur-Sat next weekend
Boys (4 Divisions) play Thur-Sat the following weekend. However, the state athletic association (WIAA) has had a cow (pun intended) about broadcasting rights. They have even went as far as to claim that the athletes are "employees" of the WIAA.

NV played it's State tournament in Vegas this year. All of the championship games for both boys and girls were held at the Orleans Arena on the same floor that the WCC is using this week for its conference tournament. If you check ESPN and ESPN2 this week you can get a look at the venue.

Nebraska has had their boys and girls state championship games televised for many years now, on NETV (the PBS affiliate) and the CBS affiliate in Lincoln (the two stations partner to provide the televising manpower, pay for the broadcasting rights, and to air the games across the state since the CBS affiliate doesn't go statewide). Iowa does it differently because they have separate associations for the girls and for the boys. The boys association sold the rights to cover the finals to a broadcasting company, who then sells the right to show the games to various television stations. I heard that some parts of Iowa are not able to receive the games unless they view the pay-per-view on the internet. I'm not sure how the girls association does it, but I'm sure it's a similar deal. |

This is my favorite time of the year in Illinois(we coined the phrase March Madness by the way) Sectional for boys are this week with some great matchups.
A little controversy this year as the player of the year Jereme Richmond, who committed to Illinois as a freshman received his second tech in a playoff game over the weekend for hanging on the rim He is ineligible for next game against another powerhouse. The school protested the call but the state upheld it as well they should have. |
