If they went to a 10 team top division, it might be small, but it fixes some problems. It would clear up scheduling problems. Currently, Fargo North cannot fill their schedule for 10-11. They are short two games. With a 10 team top class, the schedule is filled every year, a problem for AAA schools.
As for Minot Ryan, Carrington, etc. being the smallest teams, no one sympathizes with Valley City by far being the smallest A basketball school. I don't see a difference. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. You can't be all about VC being A in basketball and then protect someone from being the smallest AA football school.
TMCHS has some sort of formula that allows them to have a lower enrollment than Devils Lake. Not sure what it is, but it has to do with free-and-reduced meals.

They just don't care what level they are playing at anymore. I talked to a few of them, and they all say they like playing new teams......and winning.
