What I am hearing is a split is coming for football only. The private schools will not leave the LHSAA because they will be leaving all their districts over 1 sport. All their other sports can still compete for their usual state titles. The football teams districts will remain in place for regular season play. Also not every select school is a private school. Some select non- private schools are not breaking from the LHSAA. The select schools don't like the separate football playoffs but there isn't much they can do. They make up only 30% of the LHSAA. If 20-25% of the schools want to completely leave the LHSAA over separate playoffs in 1 sport then let them go. My guess is they will stay.

. If either proposal passes, then the private schools can stay status quo for two years and get their ducks in a row for going in a different direction in 2015. This will also give the Legislature time to get involved and really muck things up.

kenny henderson will face incredible heat for allowing this issue to jeopardize the health of the LHSAA as a whole and for allowing a situation to fester to the point where Legislative auditors start poking around the finances and policies of the LHSAA.
I suspect Mr Henderson will take the fall for the way he has handled:
JC and ECA playing in 2A
The disastrous move to award NORLA state championship events they cant handle (basketball)
The Legislature getting involved in the affairs of the LHSAA
Allowing a potential split to rupture the LHSAA

Public Schools have the vote! This is a fact...

We are going to see the private schools try and kill the legislation with amendments to force a "tabling" of the issue at 9:00 am.

Here are some statistics on why the whole split should happen according to public schools.

A. Boys: Over the past 10 years private school outside of football have won around 60% of the state titles in all sports

B. Girls: Over the past 10 years 67% of all state championships have gone to private schools

Note: I am very torn on the issue and am only trying to share what's going on behind closed doors

That one sport is the only sport that matters as far as a decision making aspect is concerned. Not even basketball will hold a candle to the discussion. If these idiot public school coaches vote down 8 but vote in 18, I don't see how the private schools stay in the LHSAA. Furthermore, I bet if they leave the LHSAA (what would be left) would still allow the their teams to play the privates during the regular season because there will be such an uproar over lost money that they will allow it. The big question is, will the private schools play the publics? There aren't that many privates to go around, although potentially adding some LCSAA, MPHSAA, and TAPPS schools to the schedules might make it a bit more bearable, but not for the power schools.
