I would propose a multiplier that adjusts according to
How about one that rises as percent of your students that play that sport rises.
For instance, take average of all publics. Say 10% of the student body plays football. Use a multiplier that goes up 0.1 for every 10% increase. 400 students and 40 football players-- stay in 2A. 400 students and 100 football players? Multiple would be 2.5 which means you count as a school of 1000 kids.
My numbers are just made up and could be dramatically altered, but idea would work. Also, it could be applied to each sport. One of JT Curtis's objections has always been that not all their sports are dominant. Theoretically a school could be 5A in football and 3A in basketball.
Real point is, a fix is needed that doesn't lump all select admission schools together as football factories.

How about your success in a sport increases the classification you play in? You win the state championship or you are runner-up in a classification x number of years in a row you move up. Or maybe you get points for where you finish and your 2 year or 4 year average causes you to move up.

I don't like that because you would be encouraging schools to discourage participation. I remember back in the day when South Cameron had an 8-12 enrollment of maybe 400 and over 100 would be out of football, meaning more than half the boys in the school (this was back in the days when they would go to the Dome every now and then).

Some of you guys with your ridiculous scenarios for punishing competitive schools are insane. Since you are obviously talking about ECA and Curtis, you want to fix the solution? Let each sport determine what division to play starting from their enrollment based division. Curtis and Evangel will voluntarily move themselves up, especially Curtis knowing they won't sacrifice the other sports.
If the scenario of the guy who based the stats on how many kids participate, all of a sudden schools who don't cut will cut the fat left and right and how will that be good for sports in the state?
