Q: So how would you improve/fix Football districting scheduling?
- Thread starter EdgyTim
- Start date
Andy Lutzenkirchen did not expect the bylaw amendment he proposed to radically change Illinois high school football to pass.
The Naperville Central athletic director co-sponsored Proposal 23 along with Forreston principal Travis Heinz. In December it won approval 324-307 from member schools, with 69 voting no opinion.

FROM THE ARTICLE:
""A proposal to repeal the district bylaw amendment would have to follow the same channels as the version that passed last month, a lengthy process. It must be submitted in writing by a member school's official IHSA representative, have the support of the football advisory committee, gain straw poll support at statewide town hall meetings, pass through the legislative committee and win a vote of the full membership.
Knox said the IHSA staff is in the early stages of planning for 2021. However, he did not rule out the possibility a repeal proposal could find support considering how close the final vote was in December.
"It could be we're doing a lot of work that turns out to be for nothing because there might be a bylaw that comes along to repeal this before it has a chance to go into effect," Knox said. "But until we know differently, our membership has said they want this and we are planning for that in the fall of 2021."""
WE CAN ONLY HOPE

It looks like for people are having buyer’s remorse on district football. At least ten votes for would now be ten votes against.
“”Steve Soucie, sports editor of the Joliet Herald-News, has his finger on the pulse of Chicago-area football. He believes if the district proposal were to be voted on today, the results would be different.
"I've had 10 people who told me off the record that they voted for it, but now after seeing it, they would strongly consider changing their vote or at least having a longer and more drawn-out conversation about it," Soucie said.
One possible change to a new proposal would be to allow only schools that have football teams to vote. Voting on by-law amendment proposals was at an all-time high this year, with 702 of 818 member schools casting a ballot. However, only 548 teams play football.
Another idea that could be floated is to allow just one vote per team instead of one vote per school. Co-op teams like Unity-Payson or West Hancock (Warsaw and Hamilton) actually get two votes.”“
