I dumped 2 bags of Rye grass on it at the beginning of each winter just to make it look nice. Grows great! At least something will grow!
This could be part of your problem. Rye grass hangs around til June ish in my area. Centipede and st augustine should be fully greened up by April. That means your rye has been competing with your other grasses for sunlight, nutrients, water. That is why it’s not reccomended to overseed warm season grasses.
You need to thin the canopy as much as possible and promote the st augustine. It’s about the only thing with a chance.

It was thin way before I put the Rye out there unfortunately. I did mix in some St. Aug sod in the area, but it dies out in majority shade areas too. So its a 3 grass area now! You’re right, someone will be rich if they can breed a shade tolerant grass that works really well.
