How many B and C schools are there in LA? How many of those schools could afford to support the program?

I was just wondering. Graduated from Bernice a long time ago and we still suck. Might be better to drop down.

although they used to play it in LA, my grandpa played at the same school as i did and he was on their team. Only had about 10-12 guys on the team.

Six-man is a fast-moving game played on an 80-yard (73 m) long by 40-yard wide (37 m) field (instead of the normal 100-yd (91 m) by 50-yd (48.8 m) field used in 11-man football. Furthermore, the game specifies a 15-yard distance (14 m) from the line of scrimmage to gain a first down, instead of the normal 10 yards (9 m).

All six players are eligible to be receivers. On offense, three linemen are required on the line of scrimmage at the start of the play. The person to whom the ball is snapped cannot run the ball past the line of scrimmage; however, if the ball is tossed to another player, that player can run or throw the ball and the person to whom the ball was snapped is still an eligible receiver. All forward passes to the player who snapped the ball (center) must travel at least 1 yard (1 m) in flight.

Yep. Texas has a separate division for 6 man. Scores look like Arena League or basketball.

The problem is you can't get recruited. They had the greatest 6 man player ever in Texas last year. They were saying he didn't have any D1 offers and this was supposed to be the best to ever play the game.
