This really is an interesting situation, isn't it? Kansas has traditionally been a state that splits all (well, except track) of it's state championships off to different sites. And, that's what people seem to like.Coming from a state that has a three-day all-classes-at-the-same-place tournament, when I first moved down here seven years ago, I thought you guys were nuts.

But after taking teams to Hays for four years, I don't think it's really a bad thing. Hey, it's kind of fun being the only game in town! Trouble is, we have only one facility in the state that has the seating capacity and floor space for a combined tournament, and I doubt that Bill Self is going to be willing to give up that weekend every February.

Bottom line is that State is State, no matter where it is. If you don't like the site, don't go.
