Let's Talk with Carl Lee: West Virginia High School Football's New Landscape and Olympic Reflections

This week on Let's Talk, Carl and Hollis dive into the newly expanded four-class system in West Virginia high school sports, now including football. They explore the history of classification in the state, the recent changes, and the potential issues that could arise, such as the competitive imbalance with only 20 teams in the new AAAA class, where 16 will make the playoffs. The duo also discuss the potential pitfalls of making sports too data-centric, using the new classification guidelines and the transfer rule mess as examples. Is the game losing its entertainment value for the sake of efficient number crunching? Are four classes even necessary?In the second half of the show, Carl and Hollis wrap up their Olympic discussions, sharing their favorite moments, athletes, and events from the 2024 Paris Olympics, and reflecting on what made this year's games stand out.
