Not sure at this time

I believe that would be a huge mistake. Granted, there are new schools and some with increased or decreased numbers in a four year period. But comparatively that is very much a minority. Don’t punish the majority because of some outliers.

8 separate classes..does this mean more split conferences? I really hope Catholic can stay in the SW4A

This thread is for 2025 -2029 so Not sure about every 2 years?

There were thoughts the NCHSAA would discuss possible realignment every 2 years vs every 4 years. Board was going to have a discussion about it with the new alignment
