Realignment - My proposed conferences

[Simmons Ratings]

I am taking a stab at what the conferences could look like for 2025-2029. I tried to use no more than 3 classifications in split leagues. Also tried to get 6 football schools in each league, but it didn't always happen. I did 58 schools in 8A-2A and 38 in 1A, including public schools opening in 2025 and 2026. Allows for schools 306 and smaller to have their own championships except in football (2A/1A combined.)

I know not everyone will agree on these, but wanted to know what you think (feedback please).

Solid

Did I see a 5A/2A split comference? That alone should be a red flag to NOT do 8 classes.

Can you do a projection for the Big 32 option?

Man, that Burns conference would be tough. Although I doubt it happens. I don't think they would split up the 3 Rutherford County Schools in R-S, Chase and East Rutherford. It's just fun to think/talk about.

East Lincoln
Crest
Burns
R-S Central
Shelby
Lincoln Charter
Lincolnton
West Lincoln

A total of 38 4A teams? Is that even possible?
