Several ways to look at it and the LPA chose this perspective. Whether you agree/believe is beside the point; it is what it is. The numbers, based on the comparison used by the LPA don't lie. As I pointed out in one of my earlier posts on this subjecgt, having two Big 12 football schools in a state our size will give us an advantage in this comparison.

In regards to Texas, don't forget there are numberous D-1 schools in their state (just 4 B12 schools) BUT Texas also "exports" a lot of high school football talent to other B12 schools--look at the rosters at OU,O-State, etc.

Does it prove that the KSHSAA is a positive in HS FB & BB? Would be hard to argue they are; at the least one could argue no harm is being done in those sports.

Lots in the audit to agree/disagree with--on both sides of the issue.
