The January meeting appears to be the deadline. If the entire "Select/Non-Select" debacle isn't fixed, you will see a split in the LHSAA with the privates and perhaps many others forming a new Association.

The one thing I don't think many of the Non-Select Principals realize is the fact the money is going to follow the Selects in any split. Rather than charging realistic dues, the LHSAA has relied on corporate dollars to survive. They will be fighting to keep those dollars, and it's a fight they will not win.

The money fight will have other consequences, as well - everything from local television to pay for game officials. In many areas of the state, the new Association will have complete control.
