New classes could be added for basketball and baseball due to the dropping enrollments in smaller schools. The new classes would look something like this:
4A - 48
3A - 64
2A - 96
1A - 96
B - rest, would be 58 with 2015-16 classifications*
*I decided to call it class B as it will most likely be dropped in a few years after all the bottom schools disband or whole-grade share.
This would decrease the difference between the biggest and smallest schools in 1A, where the biggest schools are around 6 times the size of the smallest ones. With the split, the biggest schools in the new 1A are only around 2.5 times the size of the smaller schools. This system would translate perfectly to football, as the classes could all be split easily into 8 team districts. This could also give the smallest schools in the state a last chance to compete with other schools that will soon be disbanding.
This system actually doesn't change much up as far as the top 3 classes go, only the top 1A schools would lose the opportunity to beat up on some failing schools
