This is just me, no right or wrong opinions on a the issue because ultimately no one other than the KHSAA can pull the trigger to make it happen. As I mentioned in another thread, varsity football rosters can near the 100 player mark if they have that many kids come out. Basketball has I believe a 15 man roster max and baseball has a 20 man roster max. With each school having limits on how many kids can be on the postseason roster it doesn't matter how many kids are in the school system because each school has the same amount of players available unlike football. When you are dealing with an important aspect like your pitching that ultimately falls on the skipper to determine how many position players he will keep to make room for his postseason rotation. Where there may be deficiencies, it is up to him to develop those individuals over the course of their careers to make sure there isn't a high turnover rate at these vital positions due to graduation. That is why it is important to play as many games possible with the middle school, freshmen and JV teams to get as much experience as possible for those guys to prepare them for the future of the program. It also isn't like baseball or basketball doesn't have a greater window for player development due to many schools having summer league and fall ball teams whereas football has one rodeo per school year.

The chances of a school with 700 male students finding 15 good baseball players and 4 or 5 good arms is much higher than say paintsville with 51 male students.
And no matter how many is on the roster in football they still only play eleven at atime.
