When a school makes a decision for their kids it should be about whats best for them. What is the difference between a D2 team playing up against a D1 team or a D1 team playing a team that's playing D1 and ineligible for the playoffs? I believe that participation numbers are more relevant than...
It's the schools job to put their kids in the best situation to succeed. The boys that play football are only guaranteed 32 games in their careers in 8 man. If they have to opt down a class or drop to six man to make sure the kids get a chance to play then that's what they have to do. It...
Wallace put themselves in a tough spot by not dropping to six man the last cycle. The numbers showed what needed to be done. Now the kids are the ones that are effected.
I think its going in the right direction. I would like to see them have set sites that the fans know where they are going ahead of time. Play class D in Kearney and play class C in Grand Island or something like that. If you had multiple games at one or two sites it could really make it...
That's easy to say if there is another town that's 10 miles away but that's not always the case. Just because it makes sense in some areas doesnt mean that's how it is state wide.
You are absolutely right. There are too many D2 schools. So let's start closing schools and make kids drive 50 miles a day so the quality of basketball is better. It doesnt matter if there are 10 teams with winning records or 30 as long as the best teams make it to the state tournament.
I would say something has changed. They changed to the sub state format! I bet all the teams that make it to the state tournament will have winning records. The old way Creek Valley would have been playing Crawford to go to Lincoln and now they play Osmond.
I like how people think the the easy answer is for schools to consolidate. It's not the easy for communities in the western part of the state. Who is Souix County or Crawford going to coop with? What about Arthur County? A lot of these towns are anywhere from 25 to 50 miles apart out west.
I don't think you can go by records when it comes to D2. My boys plays at a D2 school that half their schedule is against D1 teams and we are a 500 team. Play more D2 teams and their record may be better. I looked at some local D1 schedules and they only play up a class for 3 or 4 games a...
I can't believe anybody would want to go with 32 teams determined by the point system. The first two weeks of the football playoffs all I read is people complaining about travel and blow outs. You also have the people complaining about teams being left out. I do like the sub state format...
