The simple fact of the matter is, with Bonine and his cronies trying every backdoor scam in the world to override a majority membership vote, they have created a mess. I do believe the multipliers did have a chance, prior to this ridiculous summer meeting. Its time to move on.
Everyone will now see a push for less championships. I for one, and most, agree this is necessary and will be attended to likely in January. THATS what, if anything, this summer meeting should have been about. Everyone will now see a push for less playoff teams. I for one, and most, agree this is necessary ans will be attended to likely in January. THATS what, if anything, this summer meeting should have been about.
Fewer Champions, Less Playoff participants. But it wont matter. The anti-Trump crowd is the same ones that cry for the Select schools. They dont really know why, and when those two aforementioned excuses are gone, they will have to attempt to find another reason
We know the reason. Media cant figure it out. Average Joe on the street cant figure it out. Those in the business know. Its whats led to this. If you dont know, and your in the business, your either a complete , or attempting to fool yourself. Dont ask if you dont know. It identifies the village .

You sound more like one of the self serving principals who voted yesterday. So you represent nothing, so your comments are just useless words. You and many others who refuse to reveal a school, I'm guessing you are losers from failing programs.

You stated that this is what this summer mtg should have been about. If this is really what is wanted then it should have been in the original proposal to split the other sports this past Jan. The only way to get fewer champions is to have fewer classes, How do you propose this, combining what classes? You state that a push for fewer playoff teams, 16 team brackets for "non-select"?
To combine classes to get fewer champions y'all better have a plan on how to combine the classes 5A-C, don't forget the argument the split supporters had about the plan to bring 4A & 5A back together split 1A-3A (metro/rural) but to combine B & C and how that wouldn't work because they wouldn't vote for that because it wouldn't be fair. IF the "select" schools stay in the LHSAA, I agree with you from before that they (the "select" schools) decide their playoff format. Now if both the "non-select" & "select" both have 16 team brackets the finals will be played on the same weekend. **** Non-Select can keep the Superdome **** Select schools can have Tiger Stadium (If this can be worked out) ****

They want more not less. They will NEVER agree to a 16 team format, that would exclude to many of the wannabees. So my suggestion is to divide the Neo-Select teams into mutliple division of 16 teams. Lets call them Regions. There would be total of 13 total regions with approximately 16 teams starting with the largest schools by size. No Classes, No Division, No district each school within the region could play 13 to 16 games and the winner of the region would be the State Champion for that region. These are not geographical regions, but school sizes and success. If you win your region you move up to the next highest school size next year and there is no cross region play. The top regions in the state would be Scotlandville, Barbe, W. Monroe, Acadiana, Byrd, Hahnville, John Ehret, Sulphur, Comeaux, Mandeville, Destrahan, Zachary, Central, Parkway, Dutchtown and Ponchetoula as a start. The next group, the next best or largest 16 and so forth. No more classes, no more division. You play everyone no playoffs just a simple elimination after week 12. All across the board, you end up with 13 state public school champions. And every one will say how they good they are, and other will say Meh, so what. You isolate the better schools so the lesser schools have a chance. it allows for others to feel like they accomplished something because you move the successful up and keep the unsuccessful in the smaller less competitive regions.

Great concept but bigBoob still won't get a trophy! Maybe he can schedule a visit coach Brent Indest to get schooled up on "working harder". If that don't work I can send him one of ND's trophies, they have plenty! Call it trophy socialism!

I appreciate that. Bob...I appreciate your thoughts, but only 4 classes? Do you really think that will fly? I'm afraid that so many schools have gotten used to making the playoffs without earning it (0-10, 1-9, 2-8...) that it may be harder than you think to have this voted in. I am of the belief that some of this could have been submitted at Jan meeting when split in all major sports took place, but wasn't included because the votes wouldn't have been there to pass. Sabine Parish for instance Many is 2A but the other schools (6) are all B/C, Many would have voted for it but I doubt the other 6 would have been so fast to support.

The meeting SHOULD have been about not splitting basketball, baseball, and softball. INSTEAD we had a bizarre meeting that would not have changed ANYTHING this upcoming school year. If the intention was to not bring basketball, baseball, and softball back together, the meeting SHOULD have waited until January. Instead, we have pissed off coaches and principals that wasted their time during the summer. You have poor journalists who have FAILED miserably at their jobs to not state the facts, NOTHING was going to change this school year!!! That's 2 strikes on Mr. Bonine.

I think you'd be suprised at how many public schools would welcome less classes and less playoff teams. It was never about more trophies, it was about leveling the playing field. Now it's level.

What's level about it now? What is level about 4a, 2a, 1a? How did this help Lake Auther be level with Kinder? How is GUEYDAN and Haynesville level? Rayne and Nevelle?

I agree about the number of classes and playoff teams. When I was in high school it was possible for a school to go 8-2 or 7-3 and miss the playoffs altogether if they weren't 1st or 2nd in their district. 4A (the highest level) belonged to Ruston and Neville back then. I also agree that the playing field is level now. Thanks to the majority principals we'll see football played like it should be.

If it was truly about leveling the playing field, then a multiplier or success metric could have been used and never split. The Indiana Plan, or a version to fit LA, would have done just this. I still believe that the reason no reduction in championships (classes being combined) or reduction of teams making the playoffs was to get votes for the complete split of the major sports at the Jan. meeting. I have stated this before, Sabine Parish for instance: Many High School 2A (only football school in Parish) would have voted for this (why not, it was their Principals idea), but the other 6 schools (B & C) probably wouldn't have been so fast to support if they were being combined or a reduction in teams/schools making playoffs. If the split supporting Principals truly wanted to level the playing field there is a better way than splitting.

You almost won the internet with that comment. Leveling the playing field? You really honestly believe that's what it's always been about? And you believe that it's now level? Do you have help getting your shoes tied in the mornings?

If the split supporting Principals truly wanted to level the playing field there is a better way than splitting. I answer this by saying I disagree with you. It was about leveling the playing field and was the best option. How did it become level for Gueydan, Sacred Heart, Delcambre, Jenerette, Menard,........?

Then how do you answer this.... If it was truly about leveling the playing field, then a multiplier or success metric could have been used and never split. The Indiana Plan, or a version to fit LA, would have done just this.

It was about leveling the playing field and was the best option. Once again, I will say it. It was NEVER, NEVER, EVER about leveling the playing field. The field was level, instead it was about PUNISHING SUCCESS and part of the socialist agenda to strike with class warfare at the private sector. It is and always has been, and always shall be, about diminishing all private schools to maintain the myth of public school success. It is about the narcissistic ego of the public school principals, administrators and school board members who believe that ALL children are their property, that parents rights must be restricted and choice must be ended. It is about the MONEY the public school system loose with every new private school, every new charter school and every decision made to get out of the public system. It is just another tool for the marxist socialist in the school system to bring their MINIONS, MIND NUMBED to a sense that they are now all equal. A total MYTH. YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO.

Like schools in their respective classifications. That's as level as you can make it. By the way, Geaux Bears!!!

By the way, Geaux Bears!!! Funny how teams having success now think that, the ones I mentioned and many more do not agree that it's level. Especially the handful that don't make the playoffs.

The ones that don't make the playoffs need to work harder.

It was about leveling the playing field and was the best option. So are you for smaller brackets and fewer championships, like a few split supporters on here? If yes, how do you propose to get there? Combining classes? How do you think these classes would have voted if they had known this before the vote in Jan? 16 team brackets? Schools have gotten used to making the playoffs, how do you think the schools that are in the 4-6 or worse that have been would have voted? Since the playoffs are now "level" in your opinion, do you also favor "splitting" districts?
