If it meant for them to face more equal number size teams and gives them a better chance to make playoffs (aka football) I'm pretty sure the majority would be ok with extra travel. On a resume, wins and playoff success far out weigh the travel it took to accomplish those things.

Oh, so this is about the "fans", not about "fairness"? I said this many times. Policies, regulations, decisions should never factor the fan in when concerning high school sports. It's about the schools, athletes, coaches and students. Not the fans.

Personally, I never had a problem with separating playoff teams into divisions after district play. I'm just wondering why in football it's all about "fairness" and travel is not a factor but in other sports travel is a factor and "fairness" is not?

What makes one think it's not broke? Any playoff system that allows 80% of it's teams to make the playoffs seems broken to me. I'm just wondering why fairness was the big factor in creating divisional districts in football but not considered in doing them in other sports? Travel was certainly not a factor when making those divisional football districts.

Thank you!!

Why?

I ask this question with this example of a bit of the unfairness the other sports face that football doesn't. In Region I 4A DII, there are 20 schools. 16 of those will make the playoffs (80%). That means only 4 teams will not make playoffs in the entire region. Where as in the other sports (basketball, baseball, etc.) there are 51 schools in that region but only 16 make playoffs (31%). This seems extremely unfair. Thoughts?

You failed to put that in the title of the thread. I corrected it.

Of course, teams could be facing this: District 2-4A DII football Perryton vs. Seminole One way: 322.6 miles Round trip: 645.2 miles Estimated travel time: 10 hrs 3 hr. bus ride not so bad now.

Well no more PN-G, Newton or Lumberton but finally got Jasper back on the schedule. Kudos to the coaches getting that done. Jasper and Silsbee back playing football. All is right in the football world.

Question is, will Jasper schedule Silsbee in non district?

Nope. It's region III [Hidden Content]

Never again. Rivalry no longer warrants a bigger venue. Didn't fill up Silsbee gym this last time.

They will still schedule each other.

Pretty sure they will. They did the last time they were in different districts.

Was expecting that
