Does that hold true for the Naz players that for some reason are the only family member in private school while the rest of their siblings either went or are going to public school?

He said special teams cannot use players from offense or defense. That is 33. Plus a punter and a kicker and a holder.

I'm just a simple accountant, but I think second string goes to at least 44. So you'd even have 9 3rd stringers

(but no the original idea is very weird and bad idea).

I just peaked on Naz's max prep page out of curiosity. It's pretty messy and obviously self reported, but it seems like a normal year might be mid 60s, maybe up to low 70s in good years? But yea, don't see much benefit from cutting kid 54-70 in terms of balance. Those kids are at that school because that's where they/thier parents want an education. They aren't being held away from their local public school that needs help balancing the sports talent scales.

I *think* CCL does use football participant numbers in their own division classification though. By all means, IHSA should ask them and find out more about that concept and how it's applied.

Cuz it was brought up recently that he had 20 years in which surprised me, I thought it was less. Then I started thinking about who might be next. The more I thought about it, I started thinking Jaws was next. Maybe I’m overlooking someone.

Call off the posse, no slight intended. He’s the Dean unless I’m really missing someone.

Not to mention that "you can only play one way" stipulation suggested by OP. Now you are micromanaging a players ability to demonstrate value to potential college recruiters.

Respect for throwing out your thoughts, but this ain't it Corndog

When it was 6 classes teams went 4-5 & got in because they won their conference. I believe HF did so one year
