With Boone Central and Newman Grove's co-op disbanding after this school year, will we see Boone Central fall to the very top of C2 in football for next cycle? Looks like if you take NG's numbers out of the classification number, Boone Central alone would have had 81 boys, which would have put them with Chase County and Wilber-Clatonia as the top 3 schools by enrollment in C2.

Piggybacking here off the Boone Central thread as that one went away from the original post.

I agree, we will never have four differant formats; 11 man, 9 man, 8 man, and 6 man. Question for you all though. Could we ever see a move from 8 man to 9 man?

Rational being;
1. The schools that really struggle with fielding an 8 man squad, which is a large number IMO, frankly should be in 6 man.
2. The schools that can healthily field an 8 man team could probably handle 9 man.
3. There are many 11 man teams that fit 9 man. Basically the bottom half of C2 if not more.
4. Possible coops. I've said before, do many coops fall apart or never happen because schools are so afraid of moving up a class or moving into 11 man. Would we see more schools willing to coop if the moved up into 9 man instead of 11 man? Assuming here that the coop number would put them into 9 man in most cases.
5. Perception. For whatever reason 9 man seems to have a better perception than 8 man.
6. Appearance. Like perception, the 9 man game resembles football more than 8 man.

Thoughts?

List them here please and Thanks
Good Luck All!
