BRANDON KEYS Sports Editor There was some talk that football would
move back to five classifications soon. The move would have cost $100,000 and despite that it was still endorsed by some. A 5-4 vote
will keep the current format through 2017. The following changes will
occur in 2013-2014:
| Voted to have three classes in all
sports (except football) in Division I and remain with current
classification setup for Division II. |
|
| Voted to remain with two classes for
Division II in football. |
| Voted to remain with the six-class
plan in football for Division I. The number of football playing
schools in Class A will be divided to form Class 1A and 2A with equal
number of schools in each of the divided classes. The same will
apply for Class AA (3A and 4A) and Class AAA (5A and 6A). Host school
for the semifinals will be pre-determined by their position in the
bracket, and not their seed. During odd years, the top team in the
bracket shall be the host team and during even years, the bottom team
on the bracket shall host. |
| Voted to leave the multiplier for
independent schools in Division I at 1.8 and that no school could
move up more than one classification in any sport. |
|
| Denied Division II Committee track
and field recommendations for two classes. 6. Voted to remain with
current classification time period of four years. |
|
| Voted to continue to re-evaluate
enrollments and move schools that have a 20 percent increase or
decrease which causes them to be in another class every two years. |
| Voted to send the
staff's recommendation of district and region alignments for the
next classification period to all member schools prior to the
November Board meeting. |
