Representatives from 13 schools and two school districts met Monday night in Baton Rouge for a detailed discussion on forming a high school sports league that would rival the Louisiana High School Athletic Association.
The group is expected to meet again in a week.

Interesting that Central and Zachary were there.

As the article states, Central and Zachary want in. Also, West Monroe and some Lake Charles publics are interested as well. A member of the Mississippi private school association was contacted by several private and public school officials to discuss that association's transfer rules, eligiblity questions etc in an attempt to establish there own "handbook" in a short time frame.

If public schools complain about recruiting now, just wait until this happens.
Also, going to watch 'bad football' is going to kill the lhsaa. Nobody wants to watch that ish. In a world where everyone gets a trophy, people will be paying for what they get.
I imagine that most of the quality big public schools would join and others who are hesitant would follow if they are in a good school district where the public actually cares enough to up taxes in mills to pay and upgrade the education of their children.

I hope the privates do split
Why stay in an organization that wants to keep you seperate and one that you really have no control over what rules you have to abide by

This may be the wake up call that the Louisiana public education system needs.
Schools like WM, Zachary, Central, Barbe, etc will be fine and most of those will join
According to the article they will have transfer regulations that will probably be properly enforced (unlike now) and eligibility will probably be heavily accounted for. There probably will not be a free agency, but privates will be able to offer financial assistance.
Also, this will kick start a great arms race for athletic facilities. The new league would eventually rival what you see in Texas and Florida. Which only benefits the kids.

So in short, those publics that cried can win a trophy in whatever crappy stadium they can afford while the privates will prosper and provide superior athletics state wide.

I'm good with this. The LHSAA is nothing but a bunch of low-rent politicians using kids as currency anyway. frick the LHSAA.

What's going to be real interesting is what will happen in the public school districts that have both select and non-select schools.
I think a new organization would have a large school division and a small school division. Each one probably would have two conferences, each maybe made up of two divisions.
You could have two 32-team divisions. Each one has two conferences - north and south. Both conferences have an east and west division.
Football you play all the teams in your division and three from the other division, to have a 10 game schedule. Basketball/baseball/softball you play each team in your division twice and each team in the other division once.

Sounds like the SPC in Texas. Bunch of privates across the state and a few publcis(maybe just Catholic schools) mixed in.
Works well there.

We leave the LHSAA and take our ticket revenue with us! We'll see how many trophies the LHSAA can afford without ticket revenue from schools like Catholic, Episcopal, Central, and ZacharyPosted on 2/3/16 at 10:56 pm to tigerskin
