The vote should that the non split supports do not even know what they want. Could not even come together to show this is the plan we want. There was 43% against the split but spread out over 4 options. Get a plan together and try to push it forward, but instead let's put 4 out there and hope for blind luck. Then when it does go your way you want we to believe you will now all come together and leave. This reasoning makes absolutely no sense. It is illogical. The 43% knew no matter how they voted they could not win. It does not in anyway shape or form insinuate that the private schools are not unified. They are unified in that they were willing to look at alternatives. Where as, the majority is NOT willing to work on any alternative. Thus the crux of issue is that a majority of public school principals want to get private schools out of sight and out of mind. They do not realize that they will lose the SUBSTANTIAL control they currently reign over private schools. This will not make a single public school more competitive, it will not improve the status, financial, academic or athletic of a single public facility, it only weakens them as a whole. All you have done, is to galvanized the private sector to work against you and away from your control. When school board taxes come up for a vote look for private school parents a strong voting block to vote them down. Business owners who have supported both public and private schools like myself will no longer contribute any additional monies to the public systems athletics. You don't want us, so we will go away. You want to keep the middle and upper class private schools out of your athletics, so be it. It is time, Private schools to unite and shake off the repression of the LHSAA and the illogical mindset of the public school principal. To those public school principals who supported the private school cause, roughly about 12%, there will be room for you in any future association as an equal member. Join or DIE.....

Time to move forward and start improving the split. Need 16 team brackets and how to balance the select side. Arguing anything else is a waist of time. Move forward. btown I agree time to move forward, 16 team brackets for both the "non-select" & "select" brackets, and to have fewer champions/classes. Brackets-- "select schools" currently has 16 team brackets, prob only need 3 divisions not 4. THIS SHOULD BE DECIDED BY THE "SELECT" SCHOOLS. "Non-select schools" currently have 32 team brackets, agree needs to be 16 team brackets. Prob only need 5 classes (total), which means combining some classes. THE "NON-SELECT" SCHOOLS VOTE ON THIS. As far as balancing the "select" side, this should be done by the "select" schools only, if they are split from the "non-select" schools then they shouldn't care how the "select" side does there playoffs. With both the "non-select" (if they can do this) and the "select" side both having 16 team brackets then both will play finals on the same weekend. I will concede the Superdome to the "non-select" schools and let the select "schools" play in Tiger Stadium (if this can be worked out). The above is if the "select" schools stay in the LHSAA.

But that makes sense when the private supporters say it to the publics. You have to work harder and you have to train harder.You know there is this book called "The Little Train That Could", maybe you and Indy can read it to each other. No split opponent here has said that. Not one. All have offered or at least indicated they may be ok with a myriad of suggestions that would take that 120 member 2A private school, or that one that won the last 2 state championships, and move them up away from the schools ( public and private) that cannot reach that level. The issue is that guys like you dancing and thumbing your nose with glee that you moved Ecole Classique out of your brackets. These middling and lower private programs deserved the protection of their brethren in LHSAA ( hint, your school) and instead they got flipped the bird. Prejudice/jealousy against private schools is the only reason I can come up with as to why a more sensible solution couldn't be reached. There are many options that would have solved the problem and the only acceptable one was get rid of all privates?! I knew it wouldn't take long for a private supporter to say it again. MOVE UP and play the big boys if ya'll are so bad.

The above will never happen. The whining and crying for reduction in playoff teams will be unbearable. Those voting for the split will never EVER reduce the number of public schools getting to participate in the playoffs.

Then when it does go your way you want we to believe you will now all come together and leave. While this is true, I believe the issue is that the problem needs a DISCUSSION for a good solution to be found. The non-split options were varied and would have been a good start for such a discussion, but no split supporters want to do that. I get why, but still that is the issue. The non-split guys don't have time to go around and discuss/politic a solution. That is a year long process. The leadership continuously fails.

Have fun with your kind Indy. We will have fun without you and we won't miss you. Na na na na na na na na hey hey hey GOODBYE See, I don't get this. You are celebrating, actually overtly CELEBRATING, that private schools have been relegated to their own little separate space. No sadness about LHSAA being divided. No wishing for a solution that would fix the problem of obvious outlier programs. Just celebrating that WE got rid of THEM!!! You don't know me at all, or what the school I support athletically does or doesn't do, what financial issues it may have, etc. I've been nothing but civil on this board and at every turn have tried to suggest solutions that could solve your issue while skipping the part about punishing Vandebilt because no one can beat Curtis. Despite all this, you are actively celebrating that my school has been relegated away from you and you don't have to see them. But no, it isn't about dislike of private schools. Oh, yeah, it's celebration no doubt about it. Over the years, the publics have been relegated to "accept making it this far, thanks, now go home". Well, it may be shortlived but the privates will now have to eat their own. Accept what has been dealt you and MOVE ON. That's what we were always told, "accept".

MOVE UP and play the big boys if ya'll are so bad. Where did I say we were big and bad. My school, like I'm guessing yours, will never be competitive with the likes of JC, Calvary, etc. We were members of an organization that was supposed to look out for each other. You are happy to kick us to the curb in order to kick those other schools -- collateral damage Iguess. Except we payed dues for decades in order to be that damage...

We aren't any more successful or less successful than a decent public school. This is true for MOST private schools.

Instead, year after year, public school by more than 5 to 1 are caught with their hand in the cookie jar of cheaters. Yet, you have this attitude of entitlement that you have the right to a trophy. You falsely think that getting rid of private schools will improve your life, but it will not. You will still fester in the swill of mediocrity. You will still settle for a highly sweetened, rotten fish of alternative root beer over the robust full flavor of a Cane Brake brew. But that is the life that you have chosen. Now we will hopefully move on to a new future without your butter beer Harry Potter.

So it was always "acceptable" when it was the privates giving it to the public's, but when the public's had enough and did something about it, it's not "acceptable".
Sadly all of this has gotten to be about championships, sadly. We may never win, no worries, but some of these privates that have had it easy, well, get you some and "accept just making it this far, now go home".
Posters saying that it doesn't matter that the votes were all split up, not enough votes anyway, yes that is simple math, but, what if they had united with the public's that really wanted to work on a NON-SPLIT solution? There could have been a majority but the non split supporters were all over the place, didn't understand the timing and just plan blinded by their rage that the public's wanted them out. Look at the vote from January, privates voting for the split, privates NOT voting at all.

The very act of introducing and voting for the split playoff system is an admission by those principals that they don't think their school is good enough to compete with the private schools. Not even with a 1.5 multiplier. So congrats to the split guys, you got what you wanted. Be happy hoisting those 2nd-rate trophies next December. Remember, I didn't say that, you did with your own actions.

Good thing you don't run the athletic departments at West Monroe, Neville, Kentwood, Haynesville (must I continue). Those schools apparently don't believe in your thought process. They've all been champions and they win every year. You might want to look into what they do. They either do things differently from the rest or they cheat. I don't think they cheat. I think they pay the price. I know that's offensive to you because that would be like saying " IF you're not competing with these schools you need to work harder." By the way the above mentioned schools will send you home early. Thanks for coming.

And when was there sufficient time to meet together and hammer out an acceptable plan? That is a long process and these stupid "votes" just keep popping up with no time to actually discuss and craft a plan. No wonder the split keeps winning. It doesn't take any planning, forethought, analysis of ramifications. Someone puts that up in the general assembly and its an immediate emotional winner because publics simply outnumber privates.

You putting words in my post now, never said "every" or "undefeated vs publics" And when was there sufficient time to meet together and hammer out an acceptable plan?You ever hear of these 2 things, phone and email. You must not understand how much the coaches actually talk to one another via phone, text or email. these stupid "votes" just keep popping up with no time to actually discuss and craft a plan.The June 8th meeting was announced with plenty of time to discuss.

It's important to realize that the non-split people wanted this meeting/vote. The split crowd saw no reason to vote again, since it was decided in January.

What plan has the select side unified behind to counter the select non select playoff? None and they are going to start a new league when they cannot come together with one idea to counter the split. Yes, many ideas have be posted, but you need to get behind one and show what would happen if put in place. The split is easy to see, multipliers I cannot not see. The private schools that support it, run your numbers, show what it would do to your school and others that support it. Only idea that showed what would happen is rural/metro and people did not like, but just my opinion that would be the one I would continue to run with if I was on your side. Keep working it to get it where people might start liking it.

Time to craft a plan you have not liked the split for 3 years, how much time do you need? Just like the split supporters have had time to "adjust the brackets", and get "fewer" championships. Y'all (split supporters) have had the football split for 3 years, nothing changed. Now all major sports are split, plenty of time to see the results for the brackets, too many champions crowned, and nothing offered except full split. It could have been proposed at the Jan meeting to combine classes, make brackets smaller (16 team) but I don't think this was done because fewer principals would vote for it. It was made this way to get it voted in, now to "tweak" it let's see how many of the smaller (B/C) schools having to combine, 1A-3A schools that got used to making playoffs in football and now will in the other major sports like it when all of a sudden they won't.

You've celebrated in here the moving of " the primates" primarily because you say " the privates" we're beating up the publics and telling them to work harder and now " the privates" are getting a taste of their own medicine. You are celebrating the removal of all private schools from your organizations postseason competition. Based on the these two bits of information there is only one logical conclusion, and it is that you think ALL private schools are too much to handle for any public school. Now, of course that is absurd on its face. Which is why the split is absurd as well.

Time to craft a plan you have not liked the split for 3 years, how much time do you need? What voting meeting was announced with sufficient time to have non- split people meet multiple times to suggest options of plans, do due diligence and hash out the intended and unintended consequences of each, tweak until an actual good plan is evolved? This is a process that would take many months to do correctly, and no one would be likely to start the effort unless a voting meeting was known. So far, every meeting has been a ' final vote'. Then all of a sudden we meet again n a month or 2. You've said before this is a leadership failure and I agree with you. But solving a problem such as perceived and real competitive imbalances in high school athletics, with its various facets and the widely disparate outlooks from the schools, is a daunting task. Those prone to emotion are likely to appreciate a sledgehammer solution ( such as this one) bit that doesn't make it a good idea. It it doesn't seem that anyone at LHSAA has a good grasp on how a large and varied organization such as this is supposed to work. The EC is picked to run the show. It is like a corporate board. EC should be the ones to craft and suggest policy to the assembly, who can then vote on said policy. Having policy brought up from the floor of the assembly will not likely result in good decisions or outcomes. That isnt how it has been done and here we are.

C and B will never give up their classes. A will not combine with AA, neither will AAA, AAAA or AAAAA. I foresee an expansion of championships in the future with a public only Metro and Rural champion in each class with the exception of 5A for a total of 13 Public School champions in the near future.
