I know in the last 2 realignments of 2 separate football coaches who were not happy about moving up a classification. They stated the travel was the big issue. They did not complain when it was other teams having to travel but their precious team can't even though they get the weekend to recover while other sports have to play mid-week and still show up and perform the next day in the classroom. Also the more you look at their record previously/opponents and then what they would have to play and it was obvious to see they'd probably rarely win region or be a high seed.
It's one of those situations where we know football is king, but stop being divas about any little change. Be like Berkeley High and take on the big boys. If you're a good coach, you can build a decent program. Not everyone can win a title.
I wonder how other state high school leagues handle their football and other sports.
