Because they are the two best. You all had it the other way, and changed it. You know with this scenario, you can actually have no Louisville school in the finals. Have you thought of that?

It doesn't have anything to do with privates, that is another example of what I am talking about, two Louisville schools playing each other and one isn't even a private.

I'm sorry to be obtuse, but I just don't understand what you are talking about or what any of this has to do with kicking the private schools out. What is it you are proposing?

Yeah, and how is that right?

 

 

We didn't chose this the KHSAA did!!

 

You think the NCAA, NFL, etc. doesn't work the same way :confused:

Yeah, and how is that right? Doesn't sound like it is putting the kids of the state first.

 

Sounds like someone needs to beat T/X and give them a reason to move the finals. Oh wait, lets just kick them out. BTW, I'm not a private school advocate, this whole thing is just ridiculous.

The geographic distribution of the 4A regions is a completly different subject, but if you put all of the 4A teams on a map the current breakdown looks like it makes sense.

Ok, I am ignorant of how it used to be, how was it before?

Ok, I read that, all you are saying is that a change took place, what change was it?

That change took place in 1988. Before that there was a 4A team from Jefferson County inthe finals and one from the rest of the state.

 

 

Gotcha :thumb: ..Didn't seem to be that long ago.

Louisville was one side of the bracket, the state the other.....People in the state complained because it guranteed a Louisville team in the finals. So it got changed.

Yeah, didn't they just split Louisville right down the middle?

Ok, I read that, all you are saying is that a change took place, what change was it?

Prior to 1988 4A was set up so that all Jefferson County teams were in one side of the bracket and all teams from outside Jefferson County were in the other side. Thus every year there was one Jefferson County team and one team from the rest of the state in the finals. By 1988 two things had happened. The first was that there were complaints that the structure of the finals guaranteed Jefferson County a team in the finals. The other was that consolidation had created enough 4A schools outside Jefferson County that the number of 4 A schools outside Jefferson County was significantly larger than the number in Jefferson County. The structure was changed to give a roughly equal east west split to the structure. That is the same system used today.

Are you serious I can point out many examples of kids who went to Catholic School with me struggled and then went to public school and took softer class and brought their gpa up. Private schools expect the best out of every student. Where as some not all public schools only push to produce from their "upper" academic students. If you need examples I can post schools where this trues. There are a few in NKY who let the kids in "general" classes just squeak by get their diploma without any real effort or work put in.

Name those schools you speak of.

Give me a break, you have to be kidding me. If anyone gets cheated on school funding it is anywhere but the rural areas of Kentucky. I would like to see a breakdown of how much money goes into the state budget from from each county and how much we get back. In NKY the schools get killed, we give way more than we get back.

You may believe that, but it is equitable, the way funding is today.

So you pull money away from a child in a poorer rural area, because his family lives in that town, and that town/county does not have the tax base of many other areas of the state?

So that child should not get the equitable funding that a child who lives in a more affluent area?

They have already went down that path in 1990.

I believe in letting everyone pay for the type of schools they want to have instead being dependent on welfare which is what it is now.
