non select playoff attendance has stayed the same.

This is total bullshite.

Ouachita had a first round game last season against Parkway and barely had 100 people. It was an embarrassment. Anyone who has ever been to a game there realizes how crazy that is.

Their attendance is so low since the 90's. There isn't any attendance in Monroe area except for Sterlington, WM. Hell, Neville can't even fill the seats. But, they have massive alumni donations and boosters who fill the void.

The lack of money is why most public's suck at football in Louisiana. I wouldn't say that is a sign if good health.

Meanwhile privates are still balling and getting better than public's. Hell, WM use to own privates outside Evangel and now they couldn't stay on the field with Rummel, Catholic, STM, Curtis, Karr. So the private school programs have improved since the split and public's have not for the most part.
