And the three class system of football is a (cough) rediculous idea. You know, to everyone in here, before you spout your spew from your gums, go to a darn game and actually pay attention to something other than the cheerleaders and candied almonds. If you watched the South/Bismarck game, you should totally understand that those teams are capable of so many more things than any 2A team, ANY 2A TEAM, can do. I watched every game this weekend, and I think North Dakota is getting it right in football. There was an obvious step up in each of the classes.
The top 12 schools belong together in everything, period. The state is being held hostage in basketball and volleyball by administrators clinging to the idea that B Shot will magically return to some big glory hayday like they had 30 years ago. We need four in football, and either three in basketball, or a new system of two that expands Class A and separates divisions for the purposes of state tournament qualifying. This crap of three in football and a simple two in basketball has passed it's prime.

Maybe we should move every college DII team that's competitive up to DI, whether they can handle it or not. Come on, there's nothing wrong with the current football system. The Dakota Bowl was an awesome event. You could see the obvious move up in the quality of play in each class. Let the teams go where they go.
