I don't get the big deal...So players chose to play in a high profile tourney instead of a preseason high school tournament..The players,parents and I'm sure coaches knew of this before teams were selected..The season is more important than a tourney..Would you rather win a state championship with these players or lose the viking cup without them? If it's such a big deal..maybe the tourney needs to rotate teams in and out more often since teams are not at their best in March..
