They need to make changes. Maybe smallest 75 schools? I know consolidation has really hurt this tournament, but continuously allowing bigger and bigger schools is not the fix. Next year the 15th All "A" will have every school but Belfry, Johnson Central, and Pike Central.

They have tried to maintain a 16 region format. Dropping down to
75 schools makes that more difficult. The tourney does seem to
be losing it's impetus though. Maybe they should return it to its
original format, and make it an invitational event. And they could
use an average of the Lit-Cantrell rankings to pick the 16 highest
rated schools of X enrollment or less.

One thing about it, it helped stifle the little remaining sentiment
for going to classes in Ky. basketball, so THAT was a good thing.
