No one answers the question: What are you going to do with the majority of Private schools that annually DO NOT sniff the playoffs?
Perhaps the answer, if we are going to address this issue is what Indiana is implementing. It is primarily being implemented to level the playing field with private schools dominating as well.....however it applies to public & private schools. It is a point system that requires you to move up and down based not only on enrollment....but assigning x amount of points to regional champ appearances....st. semi finals, and more for finals.
Problem is that it would probably cause some schools to move up.....get slammed...drop back down....win....move up....in a cycle.
It could however, create an interesting system...and could answer the question of how far up these tough small schools could play.
I am sure I do not want a split......I think I am in favor of some sort of multiplier or points system. Like it or not......there are private schools that have a significant competitive advantage....others however do not.
Just a thought.
