Your point is dead on rafter. Football is the bread and butter of this state and the simple fact of the matter is no 3 or 4A AD's want schools who can recruit players being apart of their football regions. Also CC and BE are highly academic institutions as well so they have enough common sense to know to keep the football teams slightly under the competition of the rest.
I just hate the fact that so many other sports have to suffer so the well known football programs in the state can prosper.
