who decided to add the multiplier waiver, what a disaster. without the waiver althoff is in 3a cc in 4a montini 5a depaul 6a this year. would completely change the public/private look this year.
i would support moving to remove the waiver, but this slate could result a much more dramatic reaction

Just have true 1 to 32 seeding. In 3a it should be Byron vs Montini.
I do think the waiver should be harder to obtain. I think they should get rid of SF or make it for everyone
i agree with all 3 of these. 1-32 should increase competition in the state game. you don't necessarily need to remove waiver but make it the rolling instead of windows, and maybe x games over 3 years so it takes more than one down class to lose it.
success factor for everyone and rolling would be ideal is well but the for everyone part is not happening, not going to die on that hill
I’ve read plenty of messages about people disagreeing with the 2 year enrollment process. What’s the reasoning behind it? Is it really that tedious to get yearly enrollment numbers?
I’ve heard that it was a holdover from the districts thing that got voted in then rescinded. Not 100% sure though.
I do think the specific 2 year window thing is really dumb
Problem is 1/32 seeding using current seeding process woujd have had Plano number 1 and losing to number 14 Montini in semifinals that would still result in Montini wiping out somebody at ISU.
Using the 1/32 system would likely cost the ihsa $$$$ because of long fan travel which kills the gate and the high travel expenses the ihsa would reimburse teams.
If you want Plano vs Montini at ISU then what is needed is a fair solid new way of seeding teams that can pass the ihsa test for fairness and would somehow if used this season had Plano and Montini seeded 1-2 in class 3a.
Good luck with that.
And of course if you have a 1/32 seeding system that has Plano band montini at 1-2, then you are surely going to get even more playoff teams getting clocked in the first two rounds than you are getting now at 1/16 seeding.
It is obvious that something needs to change - putting private schools in a seperate playoff would not be a bad idea as other states do it. Publics, especially the smaller ones cannot compete with the recruiting advantages that private have for the most part.
1A and 2A traditionally the private schools have struggled. Even this year most of the private schools in 1A were out early.
Althoff was a different beast and certainly the new multiplier waiver format is demoting teams much more aggressively.
I'd make all the non-tiny privates play at least 6A. A CCL school playing below that level is unfair to the smaller private schools.
