     If there is any amount of risk involved before making the change and
getting 
Chewed out by the traditionalists and the majority of the media is not 
Something anyone in power is willing to do. I still have a hard time 
Believing tickets to those games won't sell every year but until you prove 
It on a consistent basis, probably not going to happen.

     I think the reason people believe games would sell out is because they
base it on what we have now. We have no idea if one team was playing in
three different cities three weeks in a row what kind of crowd it would
bring. We have never experienced anything like that. It may work if largely
different fans go to each game. I know I don't have the time or resources to
travel all over the country three weeks in a row. I know there are a certain
amount of people that do but I would guess that alone wouldn't constitute
much of a crowd in a 80,000 seat arena. As it has been stated the difference
in the lower division playoffs is those games are played on the respective
campuses and not 1,000 or more miles away and not once but possibly two or
three times in the same amount of weeks. I am not against a playoff. I am
actually for it. But, getting people to travel that much is indeed a concern
