IHSA proposals would separate public, private tournaments

What the proposals would do

The Illinois High School Association has proposed new bylaws that would separate public schools and private schools into different state tournaments. The change would affect how the IHSA organizes state-level competition.

What is clear

The proposals concern the structure of state tournaments. They would divide public and private schools rather than place them in the same tournaments.

The available details do not identify which sports would be covered, how schools would be assigned to tournaments or whether the proposals have taken effect.

What comes next

The text of the proposed bylaws and any action taken by the Illinois High School Association will determine the scope and status of the change. Until the association acts on the proposals, they remain proposals rather than an implemented tournament system.
