The University Interscholastic League divides its football playoffs based on the student enrollment number of qualifying high schools. VYPE asked Dallas-area coaches their thoughts on the question: Does a school’s enrollment figure really affect the success of its football program?

Yes, football is a game of numbers. The larger the talent pool, the greater chance of fielding a team made up of quality athletes. Not to mention the competition and ability to develop depth at every level and position within your program.

Yes! If athletics are important to the community! The people in these large areas want the best of everything for their student athletes. Very competitive people flock to major areas of commerce. More athletes to choose from. More competition among team. More players for scout team huddles. More resources. Better facilities. More depth. Larger fan base. Everybody gets involved so it becomes very personal for everyone such as band members, cheerleaders, drill team, ROTC, booster club, parents,)

I like to look at how many athletes you have come out for football compared to the school enrollment. One of the most successful schools in Texas is Stephenville. They don’t have a large enrollment, but they do have a large participation rate vs. their enrollment.

Yes. When you're playing schools with a lot more kids to choose from it's tough. Take a school that has 4,000 kids, and 2,000 are boys. Now take a school with 1,400, with 700 boys. The odds are your going to get 11 or 22 guys that are better from the 2,000 boys to the 800. Can the team with 800 boys compete? Yes. But over a span of time the team with more kids to choose from is going to be a little better. That's why the UIL realigns every two years and not every five or six years.
