Despite all evidence to the contrary.
I'm not a huge fan of it, either, and its originator is a bit full of himself, but, whatever. It takes advantage of a loophole that, like many loopholes, is exploited in a way that the rules book writers didn't intend it to be used. That's, I guess, fair play.
And necessity is the mother of invention, so the small school staying with a bigger school thing, fine. Whatever.
A-11 seems to me to be neither the greatest thing since sliced bread nor the worst thing since socialism. It is what it is until it isn't anymore. But, to me at least, the biggest problem is that it exploits something that exists for a different purpose - not that it can't be defended or officiated, because it's been proven that it
can be defended and officiated.
