re: Eddie Bonine speaks candidly

Classification based on enrollment was never a perfect system but now it is completely antiquated. I understand the appeal of a multiplier but I don't think it is going to be the silver bullet everyone thinks it is.

At the end of the day, there are really only a handful of private schools that prioritizes sports in such a way that they are able to completely dominate a division. I won't even call it recruiting because in all honestly a place like Curtis doesn't really violate any recruiting rules that are currently in place. They just prioritizes athletics in such a way that entices a certain type of student-athlete.

A multiplier only puts Curtis and LCA into 3A. They would still dominate.

On the flip side, it harms way more private schools than not. There are a ton of small, private schools all over the state that don't really focus on athletics at all. Now, some of these schools will be pushed up into a classification where they really can't compete.

Ultimately, I think we end up having this exact same conversation in a few years until someone starts thinking out the box for once.
