private vs public in football final

[crow]

Weren't you the one that called the guy out for saying "period" then adding the additional "."?

I thought it was quite clever, lol

Not me man, you're thinking of your private school brethren from Boyd, Mr. Orangeslice.

Only way to solve the problem is to just give everyone a trophy because even if the privates were all bumped to D2, then it would be open enrollment schools. After that it would be the metro schools. Someone is always going to cry.

 

Here is the best solution. No state championship for football. All of the schools divide up into conferences. Let the schools decide for themselves who they want to play with. Throw in a few non conference games too. At the end of an 11 game season, all the conferences give each champion a trophy. Season over......Move on to round ball.

My biggest grip is with the open zone tuition schools. At least the privates have to live with 1.8 the open zone tuition live with all the advantages (plus very low tuition) of the private schools. I say go to 3 division 1 classes and 2 private classes. To many gold balls now it's watered down bad.

Very good ideal.

Except he didn't remember who said it. I remembered where but not who so I looked it up first lol. Sorry about your bubble.

Open zone isn't as cut and dry as it seems. Some schools may be open or even "soft" but may rarely if ever benefit athletically from it. The Greene County schools have been mentioned before as examples.

 

Plus such a school's coaches would likely have no say in a school board's enrollment decisions, they may be already unsuccessful and a move up would get them hammered 70-0 each week.

Anyone know the last time a small rural school ever won the prize. Wonder why that is.

Not arguing what you are saying at all, you know my stance on reclassification as I think it can be done better (and I'd love to take charge on that someday). Didn't Gordonsville take the title 3 years ago? Their population is around 1,200 people. Trousdale County won 2 years ago and their population density is 64 people/sq. mile. So rural schools have won recently.

Wayne county has a population of 2,449 which comes to 904.2. If I'm remembering the numbers right Waynesboro is only 2.5 square miles. Wayne County has a total population of 17,021 and is 736 square miles which comes to 23 people per square mile. There is two football teams in the county, WC and Collinwood

And you guys won in 2011, so there are rural programs that are competitive across the state. I definitely think it should be tweaked, but it's not as drastic as people make it out to be. We also are way to restrictive based by enrollment. We need to be more flex on enrollment, increase the multiplier very slightly, take travel into the equation and even out the regions and the classifications. It is neat to think about.

 

If, and only if, they were to split and also end the open zones then a multiplier could be made for public schools taking into account total population in each school's district. That would even it out for those that say the talent pools are different based off of the school's drawing pool. It can all be done if the right people are in place for the state.

The biggest difference is the talent level from year to year. Rural towns just don't have it, it comes for a few years then ends for a few.
