Shocking a person from lakeland doesn't like the FHSAA... seriously how long are the people of lakeland/polk county going to be butt hurt about the FHSAA...
Look we all have ways in which we want to improve the FHSAA, but the FHSAA is really a model compared to other states. Seriously, have they talked to people in other states about how their systems are. The playoff system is simple to understand. The district tournaments/meets allow for an all-comers approach.
Many of the problems that fans have is with "recruiting," which nobody will admit their own school does, but only the other schools, which the state legislature thinks is perfectly ok. I mean think about the situation in Polk County, with Lake Wales High School. A school that fired its coach for basically recruiting international students and having them live in slums.
If you don't think issues like that will continue you are crazy.
