FYI, I am dead set against the switch. And unless one lives in our state, and sees how the present system works, one can't say what is the correct or incorrect system for us.
Most states began with boys/girls in the same season. We are being forced to switch by a gaggle of judges who do not live in Michigan. They don't care that 95% of our member schools do not favor the switch.

Michigan, under the present system, ranks 4th in the nation in girl's high school sports participation. Michigan also ranks 5th for NCAA scholarships for girls.

I really don't expect others to understand how difficult it will be. Unless you live in Michigan, you could not know.

Perhaps we could not know in the empathetic, gut-level way that you know, but it doesn't take a lot of imagination to guess that you're right. Ive spent the last year since I heard about this, trying to figure out how to get Oregon to go to your system. It sounds A LOT better.
