In the Syracuse area many of the smaller schools are in the rural areas. Combining them, time wise, transportation wise and fiefdom wise is an issue. Another huge problem , actually are the rules regarding combining schools. - For competition they add the enrollments of both districts high schools to determine their new 'class'.

So 2 D class level schools would become a C competition school or even B class competition wise depending on the limits. See below: [URL='http://www.nysphsaa.org/ADs-Coaches/Classifications']NYSPHSAA > AD's & Coaches > Classifications[/URL]

Doesn't encourage schools to share/combine if the school accepting another team's players end up hurting themselves competitively. That's why in sports like swimming, hockey etc - a small school would more likely be combine with one of the much larger schools, if the larger school agrees since the added total enrollment is less likely to affect their original classification.
