While the public/private split is one of the most asinine concepts from a big picture perspective, there are numerous problems on the micro-level as well.

For instance, I don't understand why there is a 10-team bracket for division I and an 11-team bracket for division II, when a good majority of the division II schools could compete with the division I schools. The result is two separate tournaments for a total of 21 teams - not even enough to fill one pre-split bracket.

because U-High who was in class 3A whined about their enrollment (being 1/5 of Jesuit's) as a reason not to want to play big schools in the playoffs

yet U-High football schedules 5A Rummel and Mandeville this season

the saving grace is that most all of the select state champions produced by this system would have been worthy winners in combined brackets as well

Not fair to the likes of St. Michael, Vandebilt, ED White and St. Louis to put them with Catholic League
