5 DIVISION BASKETBALL PROPOSAL COMING TO AREA MEETINGS
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009 -- 12:21 PM
A 5 division basketball proposal will be a topic of discussion at the upcoming WIAA Area Meetings this fall. Since a membership option was extended to religious and independent schools in 2000, the WIAA Board of Control has discussed and examined the placement of nonpublic schools in the tournament series. In recent Area Meeting discussions, small Division 1 member schools have requested relief from the large enrollment disparity that exists in the current 4-division model. The plan would be specific to the sport of basketball. This proposal will be a topic of discussion at the upcoming WIAA Area Meetings this fall. A meeting in our area will be at the Holiday Inn Express in Black River Falls on Sept. 29th starting at 9 am.
