[QUOTE="redwingillini11, post: 1728954, member: 9229"] I mean... That's your bias man. And you should feel free to have a pro-public school anti-private school opinion. But you're pretty much asking [I]all[/I] private schools to be bumped up to play schools much larger than them so that all these tiny public schools that you like can have their "chance of a lifetime." Say you have this Yorkville Christian team without Schutt. They are just a plucky hard working team from a tiny school almost out in the country, going up against, say, my dad's alma mater Lisle High School in the 2A playoffs. Not a huge public school, but still around 5 times as big and from the "affluent" suburbs. Why should small country schools have to compete against schools in the suburbs who have a clear advantage over them? Every now and then a small school gets a great talent. Like Anthony Davis at Perspectives Charter. Its not very common, but it happens. Then water finds its level and we all move on. The IHSA system will work fine in the long run. I'm sorry your favored small public school won't win a title this year. A lot of other teams won't win a title either... [/QUOTE]
