OSSAA is going to lose. Realignment will be on April 22nd. October ADM #'s will be used, with no "bump" in place for anyone. ***This is my understanding of the situation*** This flat out sucks. 2A1 is going to be so loaded its not even funny

3a and below schools should disband from OSSAA and make a new public-only association. In 2009 there was a ton of support for this movement from small schools but none from big schools.

If 3 A down disbands you will see everyone else follow. I have been hearing rumblings. I would love for us to leave the OSSAA, and nothing to do with privates really either.

In 2009 I heard 6a coaches at an OFBCA say they didn't care it didn't concern them. The school I was at was one of the ringleaders in trying to get it done. Our Sup was helping spearhead it. At that point in time the east-side small schools were resistant to it as well. But at that point Cascia was the only one that had been hugely successful, LC won their first one that year I believe. Now the eastside small schools would be onboard.

From reading the Oklahoman article this morning, my understanding is that this doesn't really affect football as much as we had thought. They discussed it affecting basketball, golf, tennis, volleyball, soccer, etc. where say a boys team in basketball is really successful and theyd have to jump up from 4A to 5A and if the girls werent as successful theyd still have to bump up. Now according to the article, that wouldnt happen anymore. The boys team would go up and the girls would stay where they are. It also keeps the cap for privates at 5A, so Bishop McGuinness would go back down to 5A.

Supts are talking and meeting I think this will finally get it done… I think they don’t care if 6a teams are on board with it. 4a schools down are unifying as we speak, to get it done.

What happens if public schools just blatantly ignore the OSSAA rules and refuse to play them??

What happens if public schools just blatantly ignore the OSSAA rules and refuse to play them?? i would personally love to see it. OSSAA$$holes will bar any public school from the playoffs if they refuse to play a district game, but if all the publics refuse to play, what they gonna do then? OSSAA$$holes would lose a TON of money.

or....come playoff time, and the OSSAA$$holes are asking public schools to host playoff games, and the public schools tell them to kick rocks, wonder what they'll do then.....
it's laughable!

I think suot are just talking about making their own organization… so the not playing thing won’t matter. But that would be one way to do it, but you know when it gets into the thick of things schools won’t go that route because of the kids.. but reorganizing is a sensible answer to the problem. And I think this has more traction than ever before … i would just say all coaches be proactive and get your admin on board and it will change

Can't afford to break away...not a realistic option.

Can't afford to break away...not a realistic option. Assuming the majority of the money in the possession of the OSSAA was generated by public schools ... its logical to assume public schools are legally entitled to it.

It's just not that easy. And if the 6A schools don't care and aren't on board (they don't and they're not), you won't have the money/power to get it done.

There’s a meeting in Blanchard at 9:00 Monday morning.
They’ll discuss and form a plan to present to the OSSAA.
They are going to first go at the OSSAA with the proposal to remove the private schools when playoffs hit. This issue was voted on and approved by 83% of public schools and the OSSAA did nothing with it.
They say if OSSAA rejects it again, they will explore a new association.
All coaches/supes are invited.

The revenue streams should be traceable and powerlifting has managed to operate quite nicely outside of the long-arm of the OSSAA for years. If Texas can manage, so can Oklahoma. It's definitely time for the tail to stop wagging the dog imo.
