[QUOTE="dank, post: 352332, member: 2945"] What is your suggestion to more accurately place private schools? Enrollment is not the only thing that matters in this conversation. I find it hard to argue that the lowest class of ND athletics is the appropriate place for kids that are either a) affluent and have access to resources that your average class b kid couldn't dream of or b) hand picked because of their talents. While I can empathize with your fear that you may become a little fish in a big pond, there are bigger issues across the rural parts of the state where athletics are becoming difficult to sustain without creating massive coops, leading to larger districts, more costs, and ultimately less opportunity. I don't suspect the governing entities at the states private schools really give a hoot about those issues. So, excuse me if I find the argument that private schools are "just like everyone else" because they are of similar enrollment is laughable. [/QUOTE]
