Do Private Schools Have An Unfair Athletic Advantage?

You decide:

The three public teams in this year's football finals -- Bowling Green, Russell and Mayfield -- represent just 0.01 percent of Kentucky's 209 football-playing public high schools. Meanwhile, nearly one-third of the state's 16 private schools that sponsor football remain alive.

You don't split them up. Just forbid private schools from offering athletic scholarships (which most do) and require athletes to live within a certain radius of the school (say, 15 miles). Pretty simple remedy.

After that, you move on to the public schools that recruit. And we all know who I'm talking about.
