Teams choosing to play on a crowded field

[swires]

I was wondering what opinions were on 1A schools choosing to play on a crowded field (chhosing to play 11 man) but playing down (against 6 man schools) for the rest of their sports?

it should be like the Upper Classification, if they choose to play up in football then they play up in all the rest of their sports.

I completely agree with jc!!

I think everyone agrees, except for the schools doing it and the drunk monkeys at the UI of L

I completely and totally agree. In every sport that I have ever been associated with, from rodeo to motocross to peewee baksetball, if a kid chooses to play up then its fine but they cant move back down and compete. So how do we get it changed?

Try and go to battle with the almighty UIL!

We asked them about this at a UIL meeting back in November, and their answer was "that's just how it's always been..."

At one time, only district champs made the playoffs, but they changed that. Not really understanding their logic.
