"The private schools have an advantage, its unfair" is such bullshite. It's a few schools. The rest of the private schools are getting their shite pushed in just as much, if not more because it's harder to get low income athletes to go to a school with a tuition. Now the private school championship will be a joke with a few teams just destroying everyone year in and out.

Agree, but for years, the LHSAA commissioner (both of them) and executive committee refused to do anything about the main culprits. The membership at large got tired of it and took what everybody agrees is an extreme action. Maybe this will shake something loose and they can come back and work out a compromise that most can accept, or at least tolerate.

Pretty much how it is now anyway. If they aren't gonna level the playing field, just eliminate classifications and put schools with 2000 students on the field with schools with 250 students. Makes as much sense as making the publics compete with the privates who recruit talent just like the SEC. Absolutely floors me that anyone could be so blind as to not see the advantages the privates have had. It's like letting LSU, Florida and Bama play in the Gulf South Conference.

Not sure if you meant "private" instead of "public" or not.
The "select" brackets will be much more competitive than the public brackets.
As far as "non-select" is concerned, I'd wager that these teams will win more state championships than anyone else, for the foreseeable future:
1A
Kentwood, Haynesville, West St. John
2A
Many, Winnfield, and Springfield
3A(will be the most competitive "non-select" class)
Eunice, Livonia, and North Desoto
4A
Neville
5A
West Monroe, Barbe

The "select" division will be much tougher for teams to win every year, in both the lower and upper classes. Outside of "non-select" 3A, there will be no competition in the public bracket.

This.

There are a couple private schools who don't exactly play by the rules that everyone else does, and now every private school is paying for it.

What schools does everyone assume "recruits" players? I'm thinking Curtis, Evangel, and maybe Parkview.

My alma mater Notre Dame without a doubt does not recruit. I think only one kid in the previous 4 years got a scholly to play college ball.
