That does not mean a thing. Every kid participating doesn't make them any better. You know why?because of the student population. The more the students, the more of a chance they have of being a better team because you have more of a choice. I bet 9 out of 10 privates you find out there do not make cuts on their football teams because of lack of student size. The debate would be completely flipped around if privates were forced to play in 4 and 5 A because it would be completely unfair due to size of school. So just because they are successful in regions with the same amount of students, which most of the time privates have less, means that they are at an advantage?? Being smart in the classroom doesn't necessarily make them better football players, atleast enough to cause such a debate. So because their education is higher they should be in a higher classification in sports? /huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /> But last time I checked they made a multiplier that did move privates up anyways.....meaning they aren't playing themselves anymore, but instead playing publics now that have twice the number of students with them....so I guess I see the publics point, I can see the embarrassment....they would rather privates kick themselves around instead of them being moved up and still competing year in and year out for titles and championships.
