I'm thinking you may have misinterpreted my post, or I may not have been clear enough. I'm saying that all sports need to be classed. Two classes or three classes at the most.

All schools play on the same sized field/court and play by the same rules which makes it fair. However it is far from even.

I had no confusion. And I fully agree with your points and comparisons. I was simply asking why football is our major exception? We are in agreement on the needing of classes in other sports, but why do people view football differently? Is it because football is vastly more physical?

Hypothetical:

Phelps plays Bowling Green in football, people are horrified at the monster who would have scheduled that game.

Phelps plays Bowling Green in basketball, pretty much the same score line as football, but no one seems as bothered by the outcome. Suddenly, it just comes down to the "little guy" needing to be morr committed or something like that.
