I've wondered why aren't the districts the same cor football and basketball? For example, Bridge City and Lumberton are in out basketball district but not football.

Football has divisions, basketball doesn't.  Lumberton and Bridge City are (currently) in Division I, which is why they are not in SIlsbee's district, which is a Division II district.

More playoff teams and more money for UIL seems like it would play a part in the reason for football divisions.

Numbers in football are a bigger deal then in basketball and any other sport. there are 33 positions to fill opposed to basketballs 5.
In basketball a team could play 7 games in a week (playing a tournament and a game on tuesday.  In football physically you can play 1 game a week.
And Yes, money plays a role, but the system is a fair system.

Wait. What about all the special teams? Kickoff team, kickoff receive team, punt team, punt receive team, field goal team, extra point team? That should be 66 which makes 88 players for football.

So a lot more goes into a football game then with a basketball game. Also. Now we see why numbers of kids to pull from matters in football and we can see a solid justification for the split divisions

Please explain how this is your reasoning for different basketball/football districts.   How many players it takes to fill spots is not a determining factor in putting basketball/football districts together.

Please explain Sub-Varsity coach 😳

Well genius why have classifications at all? Becuase school enrollment matters, and it matters more in football becuase of the physicality of the sport.I see that your gray hairs are not a crown of wisdom ,but a fools cap.

I guess they’re the same.... except for maybe attendance. Stadium sizes. Merchandise sales. Tv ratings. Advertising sales. 
 

And that’s at all levels....

All of the way up to Super Bowl>NBA Finals. 
 

No offense... basketball is football’s little sister.

Not when it comes to the skills required to be a good basketball player.. compared to skills required to be a good football player.  No offense.. but just being fast, just being big, or just being strong means nothing on a basketball court.  Any of the three can make you a stud on a football field, though.

That’s what I meant.
