I do like the 48 x 3 model. Or a 72x2 for that matter. If we're talking about a three day tournament, let's try to get them all together. It could be rotated from Hays to Topeka to Wichita (or any other feasible city). I know that Hays puts on a great tournament, but I think it would still be very beneficial for them if the city could house such an event. FHSU would only have to host it every three years, but they shouldn't take a big financial hit since it would be at least three times larger than it's normal draw. I wouldn't want to do it if it meant that Hays couldn't do it. I believe they've earned the right to host it, not to mention I spent 6.5 of my best undergrad years there!

We'd all get to see the state's best in one location. With three years to plan each tournament, it could be a more spectacular event. I imagine the communities would donate or sponsor more since it wouldn't be a yearly expenditure. Heck, Wichita might even have time to come up with a decent hospitality room.

What do you think? I think there is always a way to improve our sport if we use our collective creativity rather than our divisive criticism.
