In many cases, it's warranted, they're not ready to move up, but in other cases it's politics, or observation/evaluation/rating/promotion procedures that may need some tweaking.

We revamped our observation/evaluation/rating/promotion procedures a few years ago and we're seeing more guys "stick it out". They can see a path to varsity games with fewer obstacles than in the past.
The big problem is that if everyone is going to get to full varsity schedules in 3-4 years or so, that implies they can only have them for for 1-2 years before they have to move out of the way for the next wave. The reality of the numbers is that a group will have to have some number of people that stay at JV a little longer, even if they could do varsity, just to keep enough people around to cover the games.
