IHSA to Consider "Multipliers" for Private Schools

Nebraska had considered this kind of idea for the past couple of years or so. It keeps dying off because there's no evidence that the number of championships will swing towards the public schools will increase. Another reason is that many of the schools value their rivalries. Plus, there was some pressure from the state legislature to leave things alone.

I'm not so sure that championships will swing towards the public schools either by reclassifying, but in Nebraska in 2004, seven of the eight football championships were won by Catholic schools and a Catholic school making it to the semi final round of the eighth class. I think you'd have to admit that it wouldn't hurt the public schools.
