The "Future" of the A 6 + 5

[TXMike]

Seems to me you are defeating your own purpose You wanted to be able to get into and be successful in the playoffs. Once teams join this "maverick" league they will no longer be eligible to compete in playoffs with normal schools. Example, if a Texas private school chose to be in your league, they could schedule games all year with other private and public schools in Texas but those games would all be exhibition games, just like the ones when a Oklahoma school plays a Texas school. They do not count in the standings for either team. And there has to be agreement before the game over which set of rules will be used. If schools not in your "league" refuse to play under your rules, your teams will get no games.
