It seems like the competitive imbalance is mostly private vs public schools. If anything, most metro schools would get hurt by this new classification since the talent pool is so divided with nearby schools and all the private schools tend to be in metro areas. The private schools have the most money and best facilities. I cant blame a kid for going there but come on, it ain't fair for them to go against a school that has to have a 170 lb freshman defensive tackle, for example. They never have to rebuild, only reload. Put those teams in their own league and let them beat up on each other.
I much prefer the current classifications vs this proposal which will only make it worse for the have nots. Most of the people in this forum follow a traditional power and dont really have the perspective of what it's like to be a have not. You at least have to have hope that once every 3 to 4 years, with a good senior class you've developed for the past couple of years, you can have a winning season and maybe make the playoffs. Due to demographics of the neighborhood, thats the pinnacle of success in-between years of beatings as your rebuild. If you make things worse for them where there is no hope, a lot of schools wont even field a team due to low participation.
