Just to be a devil's advocate, I don't believe Des Lacs Burlington belongs in AA. I realize not everyone would be happy in any plan, but I just wanted to throw that out there.
Shanley would definitely have to stay in AAA, and I feel either Bismarck St. Mary's or Jamestown should also opt up to make AAA an even 16 teams. I'd vote Bismarck out of these 2, they would compete at the AAA level at a sustained level more than Jamestown would. Horace being in AA for a few years is great, but it's only a matter of time till they go to AAA as it's the fastest growing suburb in the state.
More importantly - For A and 9 man teams, I have never seen a better proposal. A plan like this for both football and basketball is what the state of ND needs. Times have changed and it's time to get things right. Fairness/Common Sense/keeping the metros in AAA - this nails it.
Thank you very much for that.
I also felt that way about DLB, but in my plan they are very close to not having a multiplier if their FR% would go up a couple of percentage points.
