Well, for the large schools (Division I) it's already a small bracket of just 10-12 teams depending on the year. Almost all of them are Catholic schools, so it doesn't matter much to them. They will all go or stay together.

In the wake of the Louisiana High School Athletic Association's expansion of the select/non-select split, a sect of school officials have began the process of beginning another athletic association called the Louisiana High School Sports Cooperative. A letter was sent on behalf of Paul Rainwater, a former Bobby Jindal Chief of Staff who volunteered to be the organization's Executive Director, to Louisiana schools in an effort to gauge interest. "The bottom line is that I was asked to come up with a structure," Rainwater told The News-Star. "In an initial meeting of roughly 30 schools, I was asked to come up with a structure and I did that." In the letter, the LHSSC claims to have made arrangements for its football, volleyball, basketball, track and field, baseball and softball championships to be held at LSU. The letter adds that there is an initial, one-time $15,000 membership fee that can be broken up into several payments over a few years if a school needs such.


quote:

Trey Labat of Gannett Louisiana obtained articles of Rainwater's proposed structure for the LHSSC that outlines how certain aspect of the organization's governance would work. The LHSSC would have an Advisory Oversight (AO) Committee, made up of two elected officials representatives from each of the following school types: Catholic schools; Non-Catholic private schools, private charter schools and lab schools; public schools; public charter schools. For a proposed rule change, etc., to be brought to the membership, it would have to pass the AO Committee with a 3/4 vote. For that motion to be ratified, it would require a 2/3 vote in the general assembly of all membership.


quote:

The articles also detail a revenue sharing plan. Revenues for all playoff competition before state championship games would be split between the two participating schools after reimbursing the visiting team for its travel expenses and the home team for officiating expenses.

Please happen. This is the logical end of Union of public and privates that the majority from both sides don't want. This is a win/win.

Teams with actual fanbases will not like this. Might be what keeps them from joining. 10K fans vs 500 and splitting the revenue down the middle...yeah doesn't sound very appealing.

I would imagine it would be a pool of money at the end of the fiscal year that gets split up. Interesting if it would be equal shares or weighted shares vs contribution

You have this now with schools that travel well supporting home teams with the visitor gate. However an organized revenue sharing would be appealing on many levels

What's this....an organization that has the beginnings of being designed to benefit the whole..... part of the process in providing an equal footing and something that will appeal to some publics, if they can make the jump

Seems that weighted by contribution is a must. If a John Curtis joins, they cannot get what Zachary or Brother Martin get when their attendance is a small fraction by comparison.

This could get very very interesting over the next few months.

I can't wait to see what type of rules tthese guys would come up with.

Would love for you to explain this further, so I can laugh at your ignorance.

I just mean the differences it will hold from the lhsaa.

How will they split divisions, what they will allow or disallow that the lhsaa doesn't. Just how they handle everything in general.

60 teams is roughly the size of a class in the LHSAA. So I would think they wouldn't split. At most have a large and small division of 30 teams
