I guess I’m gonna take the other side.

Let’s say you’re a kid who loves football. Let’s say you’re at a school that isn’t good but you love your school and you stay, play, give it all.

Sure would be nice to get a chance to see a playoff game.

Or I guess you could transfer but then people want to b**** about that too.

That one game means nothing to the powerhouses but everything to that kid. Who cares. It’s a glorified warm game. Take your home field advantage and shut the hell up.

Means more to that kid than it does to anyone else.

Let’s flip that.  What about the starters on the powerhouse team that barely get to play a quarter and loses valuable reps because the system is designed to give the kid on a bad team a full game?

I’ve also played on a bad team that made the playoffs and everyone on our team was ready to pack it up in the last game of the regular season and no one wanted to take a 3 hour bus ride to get hammered.
