Class B has become a joke of a class in so many sports. NSAA needs to figure some classification things out. 26 teams? So 2/3 of football make playoffs and 2/3 get automatic district final in hoops?
Aurora getting teams murdered this year.
The NSAA does what the member schools tell them to do. They are the ones that vote on the current setup.
There is a proposal to change the cutoff numbers moving forward in football. Using boys-only enrollment figures, 500+ would be Class A, 200-499 would be Class B and the remaining schools electing to play 11-man football would be split evenly into Classes C1 and C2.
Using this year's enrollment figures, would potentially look like this:
