NFHS Denies Request for National Championships

[Publius]

“The continued opposition to national championships by our membership ..."

That, despite the question being supported by a majority present and voting.

Super-majority voting requirements are put in by-laws for one reason only: to preserve the status quo for as long as possible, especially in the face of waning support. Typically, and ironically, those by-laws pass with only a simple-majority requirement.

If the NFHS wants to justify its position, it ought to do so with an explanation other than one that flies in the face of reality.
