[Observing]

The All A seemed to have a lot more energy and fan interest when it went state wide in 1990, and then throughout the 1990s and the early 2000s. But over the last 5 or 6 years the interest just doesn't to be as big. The crowds in the 1990 tournament at Memorial Coliseum were large and the tournament had a big time feel to it. Same in the '90s when it moved to EKU. But it seems lately it has lost some of its steam, imo. I don't know what the answer but some kind of change needs to be made to get it headed back in the right direction.

That unfortunately is becoming a common thing STATEWIDE, regardless
of school size. And this year's Sweet 16 was down in attendance too
wasn't it?
