My point isn't directed to Knott or Clinton orANY school in particular. Just the facts... an "a" school in one sport, with the same attendance, should be an "a" sport in all!!! Like I said , touchstone Energy underwrite the tourney, I.e. they assume financial responsibility, and the windfall they re-coup!! An "a" school in football, should b an "a" school in basketball!!! Corporate profits should not be a factor, this year we see $$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!

I understand your point and I mostly agree, but I don't think any corporation makes a profit off this tournament, go to the web site and look at all the Scholarships that are awarded. And let's face the facts, if Riverside won the 14th and Red Bird won the 13th (no offense to either school) and they played each other in the state tournament, there wouldn't be enough fans there to pay the light bill!!! So Yes it is about money but that money goes to Scholarships!
