Who hates having the Super 32?

Not that anyone asked me but...  

 

Make all the class sizes the same give or take one.  5 or 6 classes makes no difference to me  I am ok with teams playing up.  

 

The only thing I liked about it was EQUAL region sizes.  I do not like 5 team regions when there are 9 team regions in the same class.  Make every district between 6-8, NO 4-5 or 9-10 team regions.  Don't give me the travel excuse please.

 

Let's avoid the Public v. private debate.  I just don't care.

It did save on travel on my 6 hour ride for a region game. How stupid

T$$$AA likes it ,that puts 192 teams in the playoffs. Pink Floyd  has a tune about it.

Go back to the Districts in the early 90's and put the top 2 teams in districts in playoff against the next region! Maybe let 3 teams in if need more for playoffs! Regions now compared to back then are huge!!!

16- 4-5 Team Districts?  That is a thought.  You can play 6-7 non district games to keep things local if you desire.  I have no problem with 5-6 classes.  

 

I do not like first round byes in the playoffs that result from 3 getting in, but that may just be me.

I think back then was far better than what they got going on now!!! Plus the way they got east/west divided!!! My boys had to go West in first round and we passede many schools who was playing in the east as we took our 5 hour drive to Waynesboro!!!

It's pretty easy math actually.  There are 311 schools that play in Division 1, 31 schools are Division II so let them continue to do their own thing with 11 schools in AA and 20 schools in A, 4 schools are currently non-affiliated with the TSSAA (Lancaster Christian, Tennessee Christian, Memphis Catholic, and Tri-Cities Christian who didn't play a full varsity schedule this year).  I believe Memphis Catholic is going to be a member next year from what I have heard and that would bring it to 312 total schools.  If you make 6 classifications, that would be 52 teams per class.  Having 8 regions would give you half of the regions with 6 teams and half with 7 teams.  Seperate it by population at every 52 schools, then teams can apply to go up and down.

Not sure if Memphis Catholic is going to DII or not, if so, get Lancaster Christian or Tennessee Christian or both in there.  If not one class would have 51 schools which is not a big deal, that would just make 5 regions with 6 teams and 3 regions with 7 in that class.  As somebody who personally would like to see more cross regional games this model would make me thrilled.  Either way it's easy math, and it would make scheduling across the state much easier on staffs as teams would need roughly the same amount of non-regional games.  I know that budgets for travel are tight, but like the poster said, he doesn't care about that with this current discussion.

I have never understood not having an equal number of teams in each class. I had rather see five classes at the most as i think it is way to watered down.
