JV teams would still exist, and success would be redefined. This proposed change would take guts from everybody on the TSSAA and everyone near it. The 51-3 games would still be 51-3, but there would be a wider field of competition. It would be like a race in which the same people ran year after year. For one runner, success might be winning the race, but for a whole lot of others, success means beating that guy, the guy they always meant to beat. Creating divisions just bitters sweet success, because the state champion, team or individual, knows that he or she might not be the best. The medal or trophy or whatever has less meaning. Alternatively, we could create as many divisions as schools so that everyone is a winner and champion (everyone would feel good if we did this).
It is important for our leaders, be they in politics, war, or athletics, to use their guts to make the right decision, whether or not that decision is popular.
