So how do you guys think it will play out and how do you think it should be applied? Should the FHSAA include a new public league for the schools that have an enrollment of 600 to say 1200 or will it be used to get all the small private schools into district play?

I dont understand it myself but i am not total'y against it if it's done in the correct way. I would like to see or hear some of the FHSAA thoughts on this, They need to get all the smaller indy private schools back in to a classification that does not have to compete with the TC or NFC of the world. Maybe this extra class can be used for that purpose.

Easy schools like TC and NFC put them in higher classes and disregard the number of kids they have going in their school... Let them compete with the big boys..

I truthfully don't think this would work. Zoe since you'd be moving TC and NFC up a class would you also move STA and Cardinal Gibbons up on too?

They don't have to move up cause thy play in a classification where they can lose to a public or have a chance to lose.. Unlike TC and NFC they running trains on teams they play from them rural areas...

You are right there. That makes sense. I don't know the idea of 9 classifications and 9 state champions just to me doesn't sound right. I don't like the idea

STA some of the old timers like me remember when there was only 2 classifications but the population has exploded and with as many schools as there is now i think we need it.

 

Whats the difference in having the independents have their on conference and having a state title game and FHSAA creating a classification for them. The only difference i see is it could be sanctioned by the FHSAA,

The north end of the state is still mostly rural except for three major city's  so 9 classes makes since to me. Besides it's good for football as a whole the more kids that play the more popular it becomes.

first off lake city would be twice the size of gansville if we managed to keep UF here bf, also I think that ALL private schools should be placed in one classification by themselves bc not fair for a private school like say bolles facing a small public school like say madision, so take private schools out of classifaction with public schools

@columbiahighfan Do you know how many private schools have beaten up on public ones regardless of enrollment. Bolles, Bishop Kenny, Glades Day, Trinity Christian Academy, Belen Jesuit, Columbus, St. Thomas Aquinas both Heritages Delray and Plantation.

I think those schools are the reason why we have so many independents now and i know it's the reason we have a rural classification, You did leave a few out there are several more that could be on that list.

09MrSlick u cant compare public to private, 2 different types of rules on how u can get talent and how its run but u can set aside 2 classifications for all the private schools, rest can be independent, then the other 6 can be public schools, since the 6 classes was used for a while and worked well when u truly think about it

      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.
