I read the audit of KSHSAA last year and thought it raised a lot of questions. The salaries for exec staff seemed very high for one. I also did not think it went into enough detail. I believe Smokey hit at something Will has been kind of stating for a while, but not real clearly - and that is the unholy alliance between KSHSAA and coaches. KSHSAA takes most of the gate from playoff events, so they are for any expansion. The coaches also benefit from the expansion. If I am right, 50% of the football coaches get to say 'I took the team to the state playoffs this year'. So any expansion of the playoff system will benefit both groups as coaches get to claim more success. Only the fan is left in the dark. Most of them do not know how many teams make the playoffs. And, that is what this whole proposal is about, some coaches out there decided it was easier to get to state if they cut the odds in half again or by eliminating competition. Why work harder, just change the rules.
