Here are the rumblings I heard about the meeting last night.
The whole "realignment panel" was not in attendance.
There wasn't much of an explanation as to how or why they created realignment, other than the goal was to try and get more teams to be eligible for the state playoffs. They just stated they used 3 parts to create their formula. 3 year average of max preps ranking, school enrollment, and IHSA #.
They essentially told the Chicago conferences they play for nothing and are eligible for nothing but in 2 years they will try and redo everything again.
A lot of chaos, very few were happy with the realignment.
