Were the original votes to split, years ago, 2/3rds or only majority?

2/3 change was put in because people like Norman Booker realized the split was failing and was added to prevent us from getting back together.

Sad day

Majority wants the split to end

Yes.

And if they go from a Catholic elementary to 8th grade at Catholic HS, they will probably be eligible for varsity as an 8th grader.

As it should be.

It was to protect smaller sports and because you should be able to change any constitutional provision by majority vote

Don't ask me why baseball, which needed a simple majority, failed when overall proposal had a majority in favor. MAKES NO SENSE. There are so many things from today I don't get.

So wait, to get of all the splits takes a 2/3, but to get rid of it on a sport by sport basis takes only a majority?

Did they vote on making privates reapply yet?

In short, yes.

Classifications are in the constitution and those were never changed. When they voted to split, they did so in the bylaws of each sport. There are some significant problems constitutionally with this.

The two big proposals would have changed the constitution - thus 2/3. The smaller ones just got rid of the split in each bylaw so it needed 1/2.

The proposal to kick the privates out was pulled out before today’s meeting.

So in the end it sounds like no major changes.

Split still is here but didn't expand

Private schools aren't kicked out

7/8/9 eligibility still is fine

Only impactful change was that the selects have a little more authority with their playoffs and championships
