The only information that I have seen is what is available on the FHSAA website.  The most recent Board of Directors meeting took place on November 5-6.  At that time, it appears the new classification proposal was discussed, and an official vote planned "at a later time".  It seems that a decision would need to be made fairly soon, so that districts could be determined, and 2024 schedules planned.  I would suspect the FHSAA is waiting for the championships to be completed this week, and then proceed with decisions for next year.  The FHSAA has updated its enrollment numbers for the 2023-24 school year to use in the reclassification process.  For those who are interested, you can check out enrollment numbers here: https://fhsaa.com/sports/2021/12/3/SchoolEnrollmentNumbers.aspx

Not sure if it means anything. FHSAA posted they are having a meeting on the 12th. I clicked on the agenda they had a lot of red with things crossed out and other things added in red. Does this meeting they are meeting and voting on the new stuff? Or have they already decided on the new things?

It sounds like they have a working document in process. Not sure if the intent is to have it ready for a vote in that meeting.

Gotcha. They didn't have an open 32 in there. But it did say open 8 division. With weeks 10 and 11 being a kind of district tournament.

This document is a draft of proposed revisions to the FHSAA Administrative Policies, which govern its athletic programs.  I would suspect this has been vetted already and will be voted on at this meeting.  The Reader's Digest version for those who don't want to wade through the document.

  1. 8 total classifications (1A-7A + Rural); assigned by student population.
  2. Regular season district games not required.
  3. Teams can schedule 8 games through Week 9. 
  4. After Week 9, the 4 highest ranked teams in each district by computer rankings enter a district tournament.  Two district semifinal games played in Week 10; winners play in Week 11 for district championship; losers of district semifinal games play in Week 11.
  5. All other teams not in district tournament may schedule games in Week 10 and Week 11.
  6. At the conclusion of the district tournaments, the 8 highest ranked teams by the computer rankings will be placed in the Open Division.
  7. 4 district champions and 4 at-large teams by the computer rankings qualify in each region.

Again, this is a draft proposal and subject to change.

I kinda like this idea. Other than the fact they should just scrap rural and put those teams in 1A and 2A according to their enrollment since there's no required district games. 

For the bigger districts, just have the district tournament at a neutral site.

dont qualify for dist tourney,

scheduling 2 games will be very tough, with kids who may be mentally out of it because they didnt make post season.  

lots of teams have rivalry games last 2 weeks of season,  to keep some focus in a bad/tough season.

and theroritcally,

you could play the same team 3x

during the season, dist tourney, playoffs(round 2 or beyond).

not that it doesnt happen in nfl, but thats crazy,

      Teddy Bridgewater begs for donations

      And that’s where I’m at with it. I’m sure teddy heart is in the right place. But if we’re gonna keep it real, between last year and this upcoming year MNW has received well over 50 transfers a lot of them that are from different counties and stay nowhere near MNW.    some of them maybe because of changing environments for a better life etc etc, but it’s also 2025 and lot of the transfers was to follow the hype train.    while the uber rides can be a touchy subject depending on the kids situation, he also mentioned he needed thousands in donation for recovery, I get it he went pro and a lot of these assets he had in the league, but a lot of what he’s asking for isn’t even a high school requirement.    when I played ball out recovery was a ice bath lol. He then went on to say 4,000 a week for food ? , what are they eating lobster.    then he said for the three day gym stay he had to front 14,000 dollars for the kids. 14,000 to sleep in the gym for 3 days for what I’m assuming is for team building, is still insane.

      Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?

      Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school.

      I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle.

      Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.”
