State Government Defeated in Attempt to Control State Association

[GBFBUmp]

In Wisconsin, there used to be 2 athletic associations. When I attended High School, there was WISAA for the independent schools, and WIAA for all public schools and short of an exhibition game here and there we rarely played each other. Recently (maybe 5 years ago) WISAA was rolled into WIAA and now we have 1 association. There has been rumblings for a multiplier, but nothing firm as yet. Each WISAA school asked conferences in the WIAA to be allowed in during the process, and now most play in a WIAA conference. Some remained independent, but still play all WIAA schools for tournaments.

Independent/Private schools are usually well represented in the tournaments. I think since the combination occurred there has been at least one state champ in one of the divisions that used to be a WISAA school.
