My take on what is happening:


Several MPSA Louisiana schools are having emergency board meetings early next week.

MPSA meeting to discuss Louisiana / Mississippi divisions - football finals will be Louisiana vs. Miss in Superdome.

1A
2A
3A
4A
Select league - any public or private school can play in select league if they choose.

The semi final location is an issue
The Mississippi voucher matter is an issue
Certified sports is an issue - wrestling is a big topic
Student enrollment count for classification is an issue - there may have to be a Class B league for some of the smaller schools.

Soccer championships played at Miss college - trying to get football semifinals at off campus venues - baseball will work with a development / travel league for scheduling, tournaments.

Looks like all old LISA schools, MS MPSA schools some Miss public schools and several LA public schools are on board - most private LA schools on board - waiting in the Catholic league to decide what the want. They will drive the final decisions on the entire matter.

I don't really think public schools will go unless a good chunk of them go... they'll obviously get pressure to stay loyal to their own

I haven't heard this but I can tell you that one of the early ideas bounced around two years ago was a Tri-State Association with Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
