What about having Sectionals in the tournament? Once you win region, you play a region beside of you to determine whether you go to state. That will help schools get more money if they host. Make it odd and even. Have eight sectionals and draw for state tournament base on that.

This is a quick and easy fix to satisfy just a few. Most fans enjoy the thrill of watching a potential upset unfold, etc that comes from the 16 team tourneys. I wish all sports were the 16 team tourney variety, and hope the ones that currently are STAY that way. If it is about money for the hosting regional schools, I don't see that as a big problem, honestly. For the most part, it seems that the regionals tend to do fairly well. The financials for each region are posted on KHSAA afterwards, so you can see which regions did the best financially, etc, and they have the number of tickets sold, prices they charged, etc listed as well on the forms. A little careful analysis region by region would show those who underperform where they may have an opportunity to increase the draw financially.
