The fact that the FHSAA doesn't even consider a system based on rankings (and not school size) is beyond me. I have been proposing a promotion/relegation system for over 10 years, because the problems are plain enough.
What strikes me as odd with the movement of teams out of the FHSAA is that it isn't just bad small publics, but rural schools as well. The rural schools that don't play Bolles or Chaminade-Madonna. Rural schools that are running from playing Hawthorne, Madison County, and Blountstown.
