In this state we don't have the luxury of cutting teams out..programs with sub .500 records may not be able to keep finding new opponents that would help their record... be it sos or gaining a w..can't win..just get bigger, stronger, faster right!? Unfortunately I know a few who competed for a few years with subpar records n early playoff (tourney) exits including a surprising title game. It mattered to them..if a shortened field of contestants generated greater revenue for the ihsaa it could gain traction..
