So I've pondered on the idea of a promotion/relegation system for a while.  It has its merits.  However,  what criteria is going to get used to determine who moves up and who moves down?  Many of us go through cycles where we're up for a couple of years then back down.  If you don't follow a particular program,  it's hard to know what they're going to have from one season to the next.  Also the option of going independent or playing a couple of easier games is something you can do now. Never have I, or anyone I speak to,  says because we or another team had a bad year they should drop a class. Neither should we move up a class just because we made a playoff run.

Which side of FIU's Stadium will you be sitting on for that game? Do you plan on sitting on the same side of the stadium for all of the games? 

What are the other schools considering going independent?

And another Jambun conversation circles the drain.

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.
