Interesting read, perhaps an example why some larger states should move away from the NFHS and create their own interscholastic league similar to the UIL.
Larger states would probably be more likely to afford and sustain an independent structure, plus if you envelop all extracurriculars that would possibly help with gaining support (advocacy and or financial).
From my experience as a High School Coach, the NFHS leaves many things to be desired from a streamlining and efficiency standpoint.
