Does anyone know if this comment was in newspaper or on radio/tv? My question is what question was ask him to get this response?

There are good reasons to keep 4 teams. Some districts tougher than others, tie breakers leaving good teams out, other sports do it, but to say there have been no good reasons to take 2 is not right. No win teams in playoffs, 1 win teams taking 3rd seed. Numerous blowouts in 1st round, unnecessary travel for these blowouts. Everyone is not ever going to agree but to belittle someone because their opinion is different than yours is a little unnecessary.

A solution that wont happen is 5 classes. 1A 40 teams and 5A 40 teams, 5 per district. It would probably cause some travel problems but doable. This would leave about 47 teams for other 3 classes with 5-6 teams per district. Then all districts would have to win a game to get into playoffs.

There were 92 schools that wanted to change from 4 teams in playoffs. 39 voted for 3 and 53 voted for 2. I guess color them stupid with me.

Actually I don't want to implement the system until 2017 season. I don't want to take any hardware away from teams that have already won things. That way teams, coaches, communities would have 4 years to come to the realization that if you can't come in 1st or 2nd in a 4 or 5 team district, you wont be in the playoffs.:wave:

Well if you would go back and read my 1st post I actually added a extra week of CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL. Not only would we have 6 class champions we would let them play for division championship. How could someone who loves HS football not love that?

I am actually in favor of 4 teams making playoffs. Always have been. I simple was showing a way to eliminate 1 round of playoffs and then have class champions play each other for a Div championship. I would not lose my mind if only 2 teams made playoffs. It would make those 3-4 district games for seeding really important and it would also put pressure on coaches to upgrade schedule so they would get points for beating teams with wins in case of a tie-breaker.

I guess lame ? get lame answers. I guess that's why they put a tie-breaker system in, in case of ties. I believe Bourbon Co. won a state title as a 3 seed. Again there are no formats that will please everyone. You said my format would not work, that's a lame statement. It would work easily.

It would work. Every system will leave someone out unless you let all in. If you don't want to come in 3rd in a 3 way tie then don't lose. There is NO reasonable format that will not work and there is NO format that will not have flaws and please everyone.

Keep it as is except take top 2 teams out of district. Have class 1A-6A titles Thanksgiving weekend then the following weekend have DIV I II III championships with 1A vs 2A. 3A vs 4A and 5A vs 6A.

I agree. I've always thought it would be fairly easy to have 5 classes. Take bottom 40 1A, 5 teams per district. Top 40 5A, 5 per district. That would leave 45-50 teams for 2A, 3A-4A with 5 -6 teams per district. I understand it would cause a traveling problems for a few district but it would at least make you have to win a game to make playoffs.

Good write up. Ysidro threw 6 td's last year which is about 1 per 8 attempts and that compares well to anyone in the state. I by no means think Whitley will air it out but look for the number of passes to at least double. As far as schedule Morristown West, Harlan Co. and Boyle will be games Whitley will be underdog. Clay, Rock, Letcher, Perry will be games Whitley will be SLITE favorite. Bell, Madison Southern, Knox will be toss ups. I think anywhere from 4-8 wins.

Kentucky should just do what Tennessee does. If you receive and aid, scholarship, even academic, then you are not eligible to compete in athletics.

I think he and his top 3 assistance should go to McCreary County for 4 years and see what they could accomplish!!

Take the top 4 teams each year by ranking them by Lit, Cantrell, Computer, BGP poll or someway. Have 1 play 4, 2 play 3 and winners play for Open Championship. Keep all other things like it is. I like 6 class system but think top 2 teams should advance only.

Who would you like to see get the job. Who do you think deserves it. Who would your top 5 be?

Your a long time Lynn Camp backer. Who do you think should get the job? From what I understand it could be a done deal this week.

I doubt there are 4 schools in the state that can finance their football teams with gate receipts much less other sports. A small 1A school will need probably $40,000-50,000 a year to maintain a football team.

Actually he said they have 96% attendance and 90% go to college. SO, I ask what was the free and reduced lunch % because it has alot to do with attendance and going to college. WHY don't people read post before making comments about comments. It's not a trick ? and has NOTHING to do with "KHSAA where are you" but neither do 100 of these other posts!

Well nothing really but he had said they had 96% attendance and 90% going to college which has nothing to do with what you said. So I ask what free reduced was because it something to do with attendance and college.

What is their % of free and reduced lunch? If you do go to all in playoffs the regular season would have to be cut to 9 games probably because it would add at least 1 more week of playoffs.

No rational for any of my numbers, just asking. I would think there would be a little higher % for football just because it is so good.

What if there is 20 on the varsity then that would be a huge advantage. Is it 20, is it 4, is it 40, is it 0?

If we had an OPEN Champion this year who would be the 8 teams and what would their seed be? Trinity, HHS, BG, Scott Co., Central, John Hardin?????
