In college, Division 1, you have the smaller schools like Jacksonville or Manhattan, Austin Peay who are sort of like your smaller classes( 1A, 2A, 3A) but shockingly these schools compete with the best like Georgia Tech or Clemson( Could be your 4A to 6A schools.) For example, Mayfield is 1A and they can compete at the state tourney. Pikeville, a perennial baseball powerhouse in 1A competes at the state tourney against some of the bigger schools like, Butler, etc. Take Bishop Brossart for example, made very deep in the state tourney and competed. The thing with baseball that has always amazed me and why I think it's the best sport in the world and I love is because alot of small schools are so rich in history, talent, that they don't have to be classed with their class of schools or size of schools. They compete and in some cases are better than the bigger schools. This may confuse some of you all but I thought maybe somebody could relate. But I do think schools could benefit. For some schools that have those talented teams and get left out of the state tourney or so on like Bryan Station this year for example. Just my input. Might be dumb, don't hold it against me!
Well no, not exactly. The reason why in D1 you have smaller schools competing with larger schools is because all NCAA D1 schools are limited to 11.7 scholarships to divide among the entire roster. Morehead State has the exact same number of schollies as somebody like South Carolina, Florida State or LSU. Enrollment figures of the college play exactly ZERO into it.
You can in no way parallel high school to college, because in high school you are able to use the resources of the entire school population. This is where the differences in enrollment plays into the equation.
