8 man football is better than no football, IMO.
However, I think you would see many more 11 man teams dropping to 8, rather than starting teams. In fact that option might save a team like Wood Memorial.
I think about the US 50 corridor in SW Indiana. Shoals, Loogootee, Barr Reeve, Washington Catholic, South Knox, and Vincennes Rivet. I just don’t see them adding 8 man. It would be more likely that A schools like Wood Memorial drop.
