SURVYE SAYS - Coaches are not on board with changes to classifications leaving them unhappy with the FHSAA

[Perspective]

Just out of curiosity, does anyone have any idea what the total high school student population was during all of those years mentioned?   Or even the total number of high schools?  Just wondering if the number of classes has increased because the number of schools has increased because the student population has increased.

Between the FHSAA and FDOE, good luck on finding historical data.  I'll look into it later and see what turns up.

Horrible. It’s a cash grab. The FHSAA get a cut of every playoff game. So more classes means more games means more money. It’s always about money in the end. It’s never about student athletes 

Sticky fingers is part of it.  However, everyone around during the 90's and early 2000's should recall what the biggest complaint was during that era.  ***HINT.  Its still a complaint today, lol.

I do know there is the exact same amount of teams now as there was 15 years ago

Ok, c'mon dog.  What was the biggest complaint?

Trying to keep the small schools from going independent and the private schools that helped pave the way for the public/private conversation to begin with.

Nolebull, I'm not doubting the accuracy of your statement, but I must say that it surprises me.   We constantly hear about the number of people who move into Florida on a daily basis; perhaps they're all just a bunch of old farts with kids who already are out of school.

Could be a lot of small private schools that come and go. I’ll try and see how many teams from 2010 are defunct

Just as I suspected. I found at least 46 teams from 2010 who no longer play 11 man football

Smaller schools especially those in the more rural areas of the state took a beating which helped to usher in the addition of more classes to even out the playing field.
