what can be done to get others to participate? I really like the setup and it strongly helps at the high school level imo. I truly believe the ones that are over this have a good thing going and put on great tournaments, I just feel disappointed by such a large number of nonparticipating schools. I didn’t realize it was so high. What a shame

I want add to this after this morning. Schools need to hire real AD's. Not teachers getting an extra stipend, not a vice principal with an extra duty. AD's need to be a full day position, by someone who has had sports management eduction or experience. This also means school districts need to treat them as more than just an extra curicular activities.

Had an AD call me this morning to ask where his team was playing today. (Note that all coaches and ADs get a game notification email that tells them time and site for game) When I told him where he started to argue with me that they were playing somewhere else. By argue I mean, yell, scream, cuss, that I was wrong about the location. (Hes arguing with the guy that sets the schedule for every game, smh)

This is who we have running athletic department. Thats a huge part of the issue with sports in Kentucky at the high school and middle school level.

BTW, the AD had not opened and read the game notification yet, it was sent last Sunday.
