The Tribune ran
an interesting story the other day about the growing number of Illinois high
schools offering eight-player football.
It’s taking hold in rural areas and small towns, where declining
enrollment has combined with a growing concern over concussions to cut into
football’s popularity. This got me to
wondering. Could the same ever happen to
varsity baseball?
Maybe right
field would be closed or third base would be combined with shortstop. Or girls could play on varsity to keep all
nine positions filled. No, I think
administrators and coaches would rather go with fewer boys on a team than a
team of boys and girls. Their loss.
