They don't let schools just choose to play down on their own. They can play up, but not down.
There is a school that should be 6A by enrollment playing down because Maryvillle wanted to play up from 5A. That meant they traded out the smallest school, who gladly accepted. I forget who it is, but I don't think they dominated this year.
I hate the idea of an entire class of schools that puts everyone in the playoffs. If you want 6 classes, that's fine, but do some cut off that makes sense besides "the 32 biggest schools." I like 6 classes a lot better than 5, personally, but Super 32 is stupid.
Either divide schools into 6 equal classes or make up some arbitrary cut off, like 1400+ is 6A, 1000-1400 is 5A, etc. where there are more schools in some classes than others.. Have some more teams in there, divide them into 8 regions instead of 4, and then make the class even.
The travel expenses are stupid, but it is nice to see teams like Dobyns Bennett and Science Hill no longer get to dominate a bunch of much smaller, poorer schools.
And, for the record, private schools need to be completely separated. None of this "multiplier" BS for Grace Christian, CAK, and other schools. Put them all in D-II.
