It is a long day and long season with 2 JV scrimmages, 12 games, and potentially 6-8 tournament games. Add that to the 4 varsity scrimmages, 16 regular season games, 6-10 tourney games, and a potential 5 playoff games. Thats 57 games for a top tier program and its little bro/sis JV program. Take those JV games and add 10 minutes to them and 220 minutes (almost three more hours) gets added to your season. The coaches don't get paid extra, the officials don't get paid extra, the kids have more chance for injury (but practice as well, I know), less time for homework, and the fans get home later as well. I could probably link it to global warming if you give me enough time.
