Lets leave it the way it is. Yes some kids want more "bling" and other kids don't care about the "bling". The State Tournament gives all kids a chance to go and get the Title. Parents who can not afford to travel the state would be left out the of the seris thing. IMO this would hurt Kansas Wrestling. I know plent of families that budget the trip to Topeka into the budget but don't have the money to travel all over the state like some of us are fortanate enough to do for the whole season. Lets keep Kansas Wrestling a cheap as we can. It's expensive enough not.

I do agree that there should be more mixing of clubs during practices. Here is an idea. Neighboring clubs rotate an open room one night a week for the two or three club within 20 or 30 miles. This would really help make better wrestlers.
