I don't know why anyone would want to take away weeks of football. The season is short enough (well, seems short enough) as it is. I know there are some bad matchups in the first round, but going to a bad football game is better than going to no football game.

I agree with the bad football is better than no football idiology. I feel the same way when the NFL preseason starts lol. But I offer this solution, 12 game regular season? If length of the season is a problem, extend the regular season. Start with a bowl series with the Champions from each class playing one another. 6A vs 5A...4A vs 3A...2A vs 1A...and do the same thing with the runner-up from each class... on neurtral sites. I know none of this will ever happen, but I think it'd make for some good gate for all schools involved, and at the very least, Some great football week 1.

Set up some specialty games for Breast Cancer Awareness or Altzimers Benefits, do something positive with the extended schedule and not just make it about making money for the school. Have some sort of "perinial power bowl" with teams like Trinity, St. X, Mayfield, Beechwood, Central, Highlands playing each other. There's alot that can be done if the season were to be extended. But, like I said, this will never happen due to travel expenses, etc. But it's atleast interesting to think about.
