I think the Kansas coaches are missing the point. For a lot of kids attending state, southern plains and duals is not really an option financially. lets look at the costs.
State tournament
1. Entry fee-$30
2. Hotel 1 night-$60
3.Gas to and from tournament- $75
4. Incidentals-Food, drinks etc...- $100
total-$265

Southern Plains
Camp-$275
entry fee-$60
incidentals-$100
total-$435

duals-
Entry fee-$200
incidentals-$100
total-$300

that comes to $1000 to attend all three tournaments, that is not even the parents cost to attend southern plains or duals to watch there kid wrestle. I dont think in todays economy that many parents can afford all three tournaments. Maybe reduce the cost of the southern plains camp and include the cost of the tournament in it like it used to be. I don't know what the answer is but a lot of kids are going to be excluded on cost alone. Just my two cents for whatever they are worth.
