Will Cokeley,

If you are talking about added costs for local schools for splitting 4A into two, it would probably be no more than currently.

If you are referring to the cost of the KSHSAA state championship events the costs of the actual state championships are covered by admission and entry fees.

The costs for the preliminary rounds in the various sports would not be any more expensive than they are now as all schools take part in the first round of state playoffs in all sports, (except football).

If you are referring to the cost of additional KSHSAA staff to oversee an expanded number of classifications, I do not see any additional would be required.



Greg,
If you add another class that is another state championship series. Are you discounting the cost for more schools to travel that would otherwise be staying at home? I would love to see tht numbers swhich show that post season is not a burden, financially, on schools and KSHSAA. I really don't think attendance will pay for golf, volleyball, cross country, tennis, baseball, etc. Just doesn't seem possible.
