Bill, have you ever consdered putting your name as a signature at the bottom of your post like I and others do? I prefer to address you as Bill which you stated was your first name in an earlier post. I really had to take some time though to go back and find it.

Bill, I dont think a private school multiplier would be direct discrimination against religious schools but indirectly it is because I think the overwhelming majority of the private schools are religious schools.

You say that the issue is the disapportionate amount of state championships of the 6+% of the private schools that win from 25 to 100% of the state championships. Bill, don't you think up to 100% is a pretty big exaggeration in your statement? But regardless is there some kind of quota on the number of statement championships that a school or group of schools in a category are supposed to win and if they go over that quota are we then suppose to handicap the schools?

Because if that is the case then we do need to also handicap public schools that win a disapportionate amount of state championships. We should do this so we are not being discriminatory to the private schools in our handicap system. We should immediately start handicapping in some way the Hutchinson football team, the SM East swimming and diving team, and the SM Northwest boys and girls cross country teams. I think we might have to throw the Goddard wrestling team in there too.

Bill, you are never going to be able to make it a perfectly even playing field in high school athletics. You have pointed out yourself in this topic how the Blue Valley public schools areas now have an advantage over the KCK public school areas. So should we handicap the Blue Valley schools over the the KCK schools even if they both fall enrollment wise in the same Kansas state classification? I would think you should think so or otherwise your handicapping is discriminatory to just private schools.
