There are ups and downs of talent in various areas all the time by team and by weight class.

Travel issue??? Smokey, we are talking about the same organization that sent 7 teams that were with in 15 minutes of each other to the 8th school in the regional requiring two hours of travel, one way, and hotel stays.

Again I ask, did any of those 7 schools apply to host a regional? Beyond that, I have been to 4A regionals that those schools have no business hosting due to a lack of facilities or ability to do so.
I think with the potential budget cuts coming down the pike you are going to see travel expenses an even bigger concern in at least the near future.
