There is a formula for private schools that inflates their actual numbers. A year or so back the AHSAA also added the competitive balancing where they can just bump an overly successful private school up in individual sports also. I realize its all about the money, however; there are enough private schools now that I believe they could add a couple of classifications for private schools only and thus create a super 9. Thus creating more money for the AHSAA.
All schools can be bumped up. Not just private schools.
