Through all the debate & discussion of the 4A split and classification fairness. I have always said I thought a more fair setup would have 40 schools in 6A, 40 in 5A, and 48 in 4A, 64 in 3A, etc.
So I had my teacher aide type this up, listing each school by enrollment, to see what this would look like. Here is typed what 6A, 5A, and 4A would be.
I also included what the range would be for each class, which was the primary factor in the Big 7 League proposing the 4A split in the first place, I thought.
What do you think? I'm not sure. Is this range more fair? If so, then the 10 & 12 team Regionals could be figured out, in my opinion.
