The clueless author of this article is saying that if we go back to a prep bowl it will devalue the title of "State Champ" because its not a true state tournament without the neighbor islands. The neighbor islands said that they didnt want to play in the highest tier last year so it was basically a prep bowl alll over again with only the OIA and ILH competing at the highest tier. 

The Open division should be OIA#1 vs ILH#1, one game and thats it, that is the new and updated prep bowl format that us "instigators" are referring to, the other tiers D2 and D3 post-season formats are great and should continue on.
