Never gonna get a public/private split in KY.  Stop wasting your time trying to make it happen.  Too many legislators in KY send their kids to private schools and will hammer the KHSAA if it happens.  What we need is a multiplier for teams that have repeated success in a class.  Much like in Indiana, if you are good in a class you get bumped up, and bad teams get bumped down.  The eventuality of this is the large classes end up with all the good privates and independents.  It allows some of the large rural districts to compete in lower classes.  It truly creates the leveling of football.  1A would be the weakest class and so on.  6A would have almost all of the dominant football programs.  Where I feel it would help the most is these independent schools that are 1A and 2A and draw football players from large rural counties would get bumped up to play other large districts that have the same base to draw from.  Everyone complains about the privates but the independents have some of the same advantages.

You had me then you lost me. Teams should not be punished for winning and already punching above their weight class. There is no reason Beechwood should be expected to have to compete with a Trinity with five times the enrollment, simply because they have maintained dominance winning at a small school level. In essence, all this does is allow more teams to win State Championships in a watered down environment by pushing smaller teams up and bigger underachieving schools down.

I love the multiplier and mentioned it in my post, but to me the multiplier is applied based off kids living outside of the geographical district footprint like what Georgia does.

This I think accomplished ultimately what you want to see, while not creating an unfair disadvantage for programs who have built strong programs in smaller school environments, it still creates a penalty for those schools benefitting from kids outside of their designated imaginary lines on a map which at the end of the day is what drives the passion for changes moreso than giving trophies out for being the one eyed man in the land of the blind.
