The push came from the players and the fans, who wanted more of the student athletes to have the opportunity to participate in the playoffs, much like basketball, golf, and tennis.<BR/><BR/>Only one quarter of the teams who make the playoffs will have to play three times in 11 days. The other 75% will have lost, and their seasons will be over. The teams who win are usually made up of better athletes with more depth, and so one could surmise that the demands of playing more often are lessened because of that.<BR/><BR/>Unless there is some tangible evidence that the minimally increased workload has a detrimental effect on the players, leave well enough alone. it's bad enough the regular season has to end in the middle of October to keep the deer hunters happy.<BR/><BR/>RocketfuelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
