Buck will have to chime in here. I am not sure about the ability to

that someone will have prom (probably a few) it may mean one less
game, if we were to do it. I am really torn here. It seems like a
gooid idea, but it also may mean some ewxtra work at this point, and
it may really hurt some teams participation at the end.
