The numbers for football in America indicate that it's down by roughly 3 million over the last decade. That's not a rise, at all.

Small school ball isn't easy. At all. It takes something special to be successful there, and even more special to maintain that success. Unless you're rolling with 75% participation and up, you're going to struggle with numbers. That's a mathematical certainty.

If there is an increase in small schools folding their teams, I wouldn't be surprised to see KHSAA adopt a co-op policy, allowing those players to play. Or possibly allow players to play for the nearest school who does offer football, while still attending their original high school.
