On long island, New York we have had some controversy about league set up in all sports. Football currently uses enrollment to decide the conferences Nassau Conference 1-4 in Suffolk Division 1-4. In most other sports they are going to ability grouping which ranks the team on ability then divides the league with the top teams in one league and bottom teams in another league. What do you think about these type of league set ups? Pros, Cons.

does that mean they will rank and redo the leagues every year as teams turn around or fall off??

IMO leagues should stay static as much as possible. The team I played for in high school had the same rivals thirty years before I got there as they did when I was there and even today.... I love that.

I agree with keeping divisions in place as much as possible. Setting up good rivalries is a big part of what it is all about.
Our divisions were originally set based on enrollment and have been that way since I played in HS. This year they changed the divisions to be based on geographical location. This has killed some of the rivalries and also put some teams in a position to fail. We will see how it goes as '08 will be the first year but a lot of the teams involved were very opposed.

The HS where I played had been in a league with mixed enrollments, a league that had been there for a long time. A few years ago they divided up the league based solely on enrollment, scheduled strictly by enrollment, and reevaluated the enrollment every two years. It killed a number of long-time rivalries which killed gate receipts. Eventually, they kept the leagues divided by enrollment but allowed schools to do their own scheduling.
