It's MFP money. I doubt it passes though.

They need to do this same with football. Playing into December screws over all of the other sports.

LHSAA is already an unmitigated disaster.

Here is a simple explanation.
Over the past few years, local legislators have received a steady stream of phone calls from families about transfer rules and eligibility decisions. Because of those concerns, the Legislature created a Special Legislative Study Committee on High School Athletics to take a closer look at how the system works.
The committee met multiple times and heard testimony from families and school leaders. While transfer rules started the conversation, other issues came up along the way, including:
• Concerns about transparency and consistency in eligibility decisions
• The fact that public schools provide most of the athletes and funding that support the system
• Limited state oversight even though public school students are affected
• A lack of clear appeal options for families
Legislators were also frustrated that LHSAA representatives did not attend some of the meetings, which slowed the process and raised concerns about cooperation.
At the final meeting, the committee proposed two possible paths forward.
Tier 2 – The Preferred Option
Create a Cooperative Endeavor Agreement between the LHSAA and the Louisiana Department of Education.
This would allow the LHSAA to continue running high school athletics while adding state oversight to improve transparency and accountability.
Tier 1 – The Backup Option
Create a state-run Office of Sanctioned Athletics within the Department of Education.
This would place public school athletics directly under state supervision and would represent a major structural change.
The committee clearly indicated that Tier 2 is the option they want. It preserves the current system while adding oversight.
However, legislators have also made it clear that if cooperation does not occur, they are prepared to move forward with legislation during the upcoming session.
This issue is not really about sports. It is about fairness, transparency, and making sure the system works for students and families.

This is coming from the Louisiana Legislature which is why it will happen whether the principals vote for it or not.
Exactly, the committee made it very clear...
Tier 2
Legislatures almost never jump straight to creating a brand-new state athletics agency (Tier 1). That is expensive, politically heavy, and triggers fears of government overreach. What usually happens first is exactly what the committee recommended: a statutory or contractual oversight relationship with the state education department.
So the likely sequence is:
A bill is filed requiring a Cooperative Endeavor Agreement with the Department of Education.
This will frame the issue as student protection, due process, and transparency, not as “taking over” the LHSAA. That framing is critical and mirrors Florida and Georgia.
LHSAA initially resists, but negotiates.
In every state where this happened, the athletic association argues independence and tradition. Then, once the Legislature shows it has the votes, the association pivots to shaping the agreement rather than blocking it.
Once a CEA exists, LDOE gains review authority, reporting power, and leverage over eligibility appeals and governance standards. It will not micromanage games, but it will control process, compliance, and civil-rights exposure.
Courts will support the Legislature if challenged.
Brentwood v. TSSAA and similar cases make it very hard for an athletic association to argue it is purely private when it governs public school students. Any lawsuit claiming “you cannot regulate us” will almost certainly fail.
Tier 1 is leverage.
This is important. Even if Tier 1 is not enacted, its presence in the report signals: if Tier 2 oversight is ignored or undermined, the state can escalate to full structural control later. Tier 2 is LHSAA allowing a one time transfer.
What will happen. Principals will vote down the one time transfer today.
Tier 2 will pass in the 2026 session in some form, probably softened in language but real in effect. LHSAA will remain, but with state supervision, transparency rules, and due-process standards. Over time, that will fundamentally change how eligibility, transfers, and governance operate, even if the logo on the door stays the same.

They can vote against it if they want. The legislature will then require public school athletics to fall under the DOE, effectively dissolving the LHSAA. A few states have done this recently and there is current legislation and precedence across the country in recent years. There were several meetings about this over the past year and it is clear they mean it.
The Legislative Study Committee established by House Concurrent Resolution 24 (HCR 24) will propose two paths for reforming oversight of the LHSAA during the upcoming 2026 legislative session.
Tier 1: Create a new Office of Sanctioned Athletics within the Louisiana Department of Education. This would place high school athletics directly under state control, with full transparency, accountability, and due-process protections. This option was included for future consideration due to cost and structural impact.
Tier 2 (recommended): Establish a Cooperative Endeavor Agreement between the LHSAA and the Louisiana Department of Education. The LHSAA would continue to operate, but with formal state oversight, required transparency, and accountability standards. This provides immediate supervision without dismantling the current system.

Karr did the same at the end of the game. Classless. Some of their fans too. Classless.

Transfers. The legislatures don't like that a kid can't move without being penalized by the LHSAA. Many other issues also being covered.

Legislative Study Committee on LHSAA

The House Legislative Study Committee on the Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) convened on July 29, 2025, to address ongoing concerns regarding the division of public and private schools in high school athletics. The meeting highlighted significant dissatisfaction with the current split, which many believe has negatively impacted the competitive landscape of high school sports in Louisiana.
During the session, committee members discussed the historical context of the split, which was initially implemented to address competitive imbalances. However, some members expressed that the split has not achieved its intended goals and has instead created further issues within the state's athletic programs. One member, Mister Beaux, articulated strong opposition to the split, stating that it has been "extremely detrimental" to high school athletics.
The discussion also referenced past instances where private schools, despite lower enrollment numbers, dominated state championships in higher classifications. This situation was cited as a primary reason for the split, but the committee members are now questioning its effectiveness and considering potential reforms.
As the meeting concluded, the committee acknowledged the need for further evaluation of the LHSAA's policies and their impact on student-athletes. The next steps will involve gathering more data and feedback from stakeholders to determine the best path forward for high school athletics in Louisiana.
