They should NOT fold...but they should NOT eat up valuable games in other competitive teams' schedules.

THey should ALL (at least those in the original "short list") play as NOT COMPETING for district.

They should then be allowed to play EACH OTHER every week through their season for some kind of "championship" of their "league."

Think of it, these kids STILL get to get the benefits of playing football, but would actually get to experience the WINNING and COMPETITIVENESS of a close, hard-fought game (yes, there are lessons to be learned from LOSING...but those shouldn't be the ONLY lessons one gets...they should also get to experience WINNING WITH GRACIOUSNESS and FIGHTING BACK TO WIN WHEN DOWN and HOW TO HANDLE A TOUGH, HARD-FOUGHT SET-BACK, etc.

And the SCHOOLS THEMSELVES would benefit from this...more competitive games would draw more fans.

The non-football playing students in the school would have more school spirit (instead of being NEGATIVE about how their school always LOSES horribly).

Think about it!
