Tonight, we'll see the 3A and 4A championship games ... contests where 95% of the state have no interest whatsoever. Yes, these kids are very deserving of fan support, but most Illinoisans have never heard of them and are not likely to watch.
However, if the IHSA split the programming so that the 1, 3, 5 and 7 games were on Friday and the 2, 4, 6 and 8 on Saturday ...we'd have the SR/ Rochester and Nazareth/ MC games in prime time tonight. Imagine the difference in ratings. Imagine how much more the IHSA could charge for its coverage.
Perhaps an outlet more viewer friendly that You-too might be inclined to step in.
