re: Private HS's recruiting and giving scholarships competing with public schools

In my opinion, private schools that recruit in this way should have to play against higher division teams, or even a division of their own.

For private schools to be eligible to play football against public schools in the State of Alabama they use a 1.5 multiplier for their student body.

St. Paul's has no where near the enrollment of Mortimer Jordan. They take their student body number and multiply times 1.5, whatever that number may be is the classification they end up being in.
