The multiplier rule was just another feeble attempt to try to even the playing field between teams that have good programs and those that do not. I have heard all the private/public school garbage for years. Has it ever dawned on anyone that maybe these schools win more because they work harder, have better coaches & are just more dedicated to doing the things that it takes to win? Quit your whining. You don't hear the private schools trying to limit what Maryville football, Shelbyville girls basketball, Farragut baseball, etc... is doing to win.
