Effective next season (2016-17) on the new split

Yes after July

So not only did they not fix the problems, they compounded them. Good Ole Louisiana.

Getting Bodine involved was a ploy all along?

Clown show.

If you think what happened today was good for our children, you are terribly misguided.

But, but....little Bobby (or Suzie) will get a piece of custom carpet to put on their letterman's jacket saying they were in the playoffs.

High school version of coke and trophy.

Privates won't leave the LHSAA. Personally, I'm against the overall split. Split needs to be for lower classes, especially 2A. Need to do away with 5A and drop down to 4 classes overall. Need to change to open enrollment statewide. Any kid in a parish can attend any school in that parish. That would be the best attempt at evening the playing field in athletics.

Besides the like/dislike of these scenarios we should be putting this much effort into our education system and fixing it. Then we can begin to worry about athletics. The Louisiana Public education system is horrible.

It is time for the private schools to start their own association and make their own rules.

If you follow these continuous minor and major rule and structural changes every LHSAA meeting, you come away with the feeling of just how amazingly short sighted everyone involved in this is. They throw out 10 types of almost the same proposals and there is no general scope or plan that the state is trying to move towards. If one plan just happens to tickle their fancy, they vote for it. And when people submit proposals to go in, they get modified by the LHSAA to be different than the original scope. They make so many changes every year just depending on whatever. Oh, let's restrict this or allow this. Next year it's a modification to that or reversal. Just constant tinkering with no overall plan.

Now that's a take I can get behind. Bravo sir.

These short sighted principals just killed high school athletics in Louisiana.

The schools that are in favor of reuniting (select & non-select) should get together and discuss the possibility of creating a new high school athletic organization in Louisiana.
