I answer this by saying I disagree with you. It was about leveling the playing field and was the best option. So are you for smaller brackets and fewer championships, like a few split supporters on here? If yes, how do you propose to get there? Combining classes? How do you think these classes would have voted if they had known this before the vote in Jan? 16 team brackets? Schools have gotten used to making the playoffs, how do you think the schools that are in the 4-6 or worse that have been would have voted? Since the playoffs are now "level" in your opinion, do you also favor "splitting" districts? No. I am not for smaller brackets and fewer championships. No. I am not in favor of splitting districts.

Once again, I will say it. It was NEVER, NEVER, EVER about leveling the playing field. The field was level, instead it was about PUNISHING SUCCESS and part of the socialist agenda to strike with class warfare at the private sector. It is and always has been, and always shall be, about diminishing all private schools to maintain the myth of public school success. It is about the narcissistic ego of the public school principals, administrators and school board members who believe that ALL children are their property, that parents rights must be restricted and choice must be ended. It is about the MONEY the public school system loose with every new private school, every new charter school and every decision made to get out of the public system. It is just another tool for the marxist socialist in the school system to bring their MINIONS, MIND NUMBED to a sense that they are now all equal. A total MYTH. YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO. Yada Yada Yada!!!! You've been reading from too many conservative websites. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!!! I stand corrected, your the one doing the lying.

So I'm guessing you like or support having a team with a 0-10 record making the playoffs in football? Not counting the up to 200 or more with the complete split in major sports having a losing record making the playoffs. What happened to earning the reward of making the playoffs, not being just handed to you.

So you are in favor with forcing us to play you in the regular seasons but then kicking us out for the playoffs. Seems fair.

If you're not for smaller brackets, you have to be for teams with losing records getting into the playoffs, 0-10 for football ALREADY HAPPENED and WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. The other major sports go look at last years power rankings and look at the number of teams with losing records getting in. This is the everyone gets a ribbon, trophy, reward......mentality that is taking over the US.

But if we gonna have it' I would at some point see peace and retain the districts. Although it's a hopeless case as long as the self serving principals control the vote. the LHSAA needs to make districts and post them. Give a week for written objections-suggestions review with no open meetings. There's your districts, go play.

Then I am right, if you are not for smaller brackets then you are in favor of teams with losing records getting into the playoffs. How can it be ok for a team that goes 0-10 make the playoffs? or even 3-7? The playoffs are something to be earned not given to everyone.

West St John was 3-7 last season knocked off the #1 seed Many and came 2 points from being in the semifinals losing to the eventual state runner up Mangham.

This is how you responded earlier.... No. I am not for smaller brackets and fewer championships.
Now, if I have included you as a "split supporter" and your not, I'm sorry. However, if you are not for smaller brackets then teams with losing records will get into the playoffs. If this isn't true then please show me how you have arrived at that conclusion.

I think you'd be suprised at how many public schools would welcome less classes and less playoff teams. It was never about more trophies, it was about leveling the playing field. Now it's level. I agree about the number of classes and playoff teams. When I was in high school it was possible for a school to go 8-2 or 7-3 and miss the playoffs altogether if they weren't 1st or 2nd in their district. 4A (the highest level) belonged to Ruston and Neville back then. I also agree that the playing field is level now. Thanks to the majority principals we'll see football played like it should be. Now 40back......here you are agreeing with attila. This is how you responded to me.... No. I am not for smaller brackets and fewer championships. So are you in favor of less classes and less playoff teams or not?

Seriously man, two different things under one post. Initially, I was just agreeing with attila about publics being willing to accept the idea of fewer classes/playoff teams simply because it had been that way prior to 5A being added. However, I didn't say that's what I wanted to see. At this time, though, I am not for smaller brackets just because of a regular season split. However, if things were the way I wanted them to be where there was a complete split, then smaller brackets would be necessary.
