I want the stats for the last 20 years not just a snapshot. There are cycles. In 5A in the 90's a private school NEVER made it to the state finals in football and it the 80's only Kapaun made a significant impact and they were sanctioned for actually violating KSHSAA rules.

So you want to throw out 6A just because there are no 6A private schools right now even though they are a part of the study group, that is Kansas high school athletes. If the ridiculous proposal is put into place then there will be plenty when the shuffle begins so I believe their state championships have to be considered when figuring percentages.

When Lawrence high was the by far the biggest school in the state and won football EVERY year where were all of you whiners then????

I am ready to chalk this up to sore losers and the continued pussification of America by public school administrators. Speaking of public school administrators, our local school district, in light of the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue has decided we should have TWO superintendants and a district wide AD to hold the hands of the two we have for the high schools and the additional middle school part time AD's. Some whiny woman over in Shawnee got elected to the schoolboard and got pissed bc her kids weren't getting to play so she went on a mission to clean out all of the head coaches and the AD. I think the principal was felled by her axe as well. I would like to have my tax dollars back and pay to play wherever I wanted Contrarian. At least I would have some say in how my dollars were getting spent!!! Heck, I don't think we need more than one AD let alone 6 in our little old school district!! The public schools are laden with an enormous burden of overhead caused by inefficiency. Why aren't we spending our energy making our system more effective from a cost perspective? Over 100 schools with a little more than 5,000 students in the top three grades??? That is ridiculous, way more so than private schools CURRENTLY winning more than Windy's determined fair share of championships.
