Plus, there was some pressure from the state legislature to leave things alone.

I'm not so sure that championships will swing towards the public schools either by reclassifying, but in Nebraska in 2004, seven of the eight football championships were won by Catholic schools and a Catholic school making it to the semi final round of the eighth class. I think you'd have to admit that it wouldn't hurt the public schools.
