: CIF should of left the divisional format as it was. Every two years you move up or down. Trying to make things more balanced and competitive. It is up the the high schools to make better decisions hiring AD's and coaches. IT is that simple. AD's hire their friends or retreads, that is the schools issue for them being inept, not CIF to be Mommy. This is what these schools have chosen.
: Just winning friends and influencing people.
There is always a complaint and no system is perfect. People were mad when they took away the school size component and went to the every 2 year system. The truth is that the reason this tweak to the current system had to happen is because of the recruiting taking place nowadays. Every year you get these brand new teams with all transfers that cake walk a lower division. They arent good enough for the open division but should be at least D3 but end up in D4 or D5. Now all those teams get to play teams at their level, which is how it should be.
The downfall is the bottom couple divisions are going to be really bad, just like in Football where all the teams have had bad or below average seasons but squeak into the playoffs and suddenly one of them is a champion with the best season in school history.
