Well, apples to oranges. You can play a basketball game every day without the physical abuse that a varsity football game has on a kid’s body. But you assume, maybe, that my opinion is to let everybody play in every sport but football. I’m fine with making all districts seed and the top two go to region. I do think upsets are a little more likely in basketball than football, but this thread is about football.

And for me, removing the last game from a team that is 1-9….. is a gift to them. Kids are faking injuries, seniors have long sense packed it in, and these KIDS really don’t want to practice another week and drive three hours to go take a beating. You might have wanted to, but I’ve seen it play out; most KIDS don’t.

And it does end up costing the four seed money in a lot of instances. The gate is small at these slaughters. By the time you pay fuel costs, drivers, feed kids two meals…..it’s a negative get financially.

It’s America- there are rewards for winning and consequences for losing.

Just my opinion, Riddler.
