re: LHSAA--Anybody heard any rumors about the LHSAA Executive Director's job?

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.

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
