Glad to hear i'm not the only one that missed out on 1983! I found Kansas' system very intriguing. You are absolutely right that the balance Kansas has is almost uncomfortable! In Nebraska your biggest discrepancy is with class A.
Just for fun based on the Kansas System, if you used the boys basketball classification numbers for this year and put 36 teams in A, B, and C1 it creates a bigger difference in class A, but actually makes class B more balanced and the remaining classes are extremely similar.
Based off the following Numbers:

Using 36 in the first 3 Classes and then roughly 57 Teams in the bottom 3:
A. Grand Island(1049)-Scottsbluff(387) 682 Student Difference.
B. Lexington(360)-Ashland-Greenwood(101) 259 Student Difference.
C1. Ogallala(101)-North Bend(67) 34 Student Difference
C2. David City(66)-Creighton(42) 24 Student Difference
D1. Southern 42-McCool Junction(27) 15 Student Difference
D2. Minatare(27)-Sioux County(8) 19 Student Difference
Compared to how the classifications were broke down this year:
A. Grand Island(1049)-Gretna(487) 582 Student Difference
B. Elkhorn(471)-Holdrege(138) 333 Student Difference
C1. Wahoo(136)-Gibbon(63) 73 Student Difference
C2. Tekamah-Herman(63)-Alma(42) 21 Student Difference
D1. Heartland(42)-Wauneta-Palisade(27) 15 Student Difference
D2. Blue Hill(26)-Sioux County(8) 18 Student Difference
Not saying that is the right thing to do for Nebraska, especially for class A, but interesting to look at!
Thank you for your insight! And no, your idea is not crazy, just a change I wouldn't want to see.
