1 MAIS is struggling and we may get a merger someday. 

2 MGSAA coaches need opponents for all these open dates so we may get a scheduling agreement but not 8 man. 

3 1.5 multiplier has become a stinky issue.

4 Wait and see?

MAIS isn't struggling. The main idea is to coordinate with both leagues the evolving landscape of  athletics (NIL, transfer eligibility, etc.)

Someone had a thread on here asking what the new Alabama split would mean for the MAIS schools. I said you could see some of the of the MAIS schools joining the new Alabama association. I was mainly referring to the schools in the southern part of the state that are traveling four and five hours especially during playoffs. Maybe this is the opportunity they are needing. I’m with s1nglewing the MAIS isn’t struggling

If schools in South Mississippi join that league certainly it will be those along the Pearl River and alonf hwy 28 and 84 due to the same travel experience.

Really if travel is the issue with MAIS then go with 1-8 in the south and 1-8 in the north. That way eliminate Parklane traveling to Magnolia Heights, etc, etc. Same with MHSAA going back to 4 regions in 1A footbal. Otherwise MHSAA would have go back to neutral site games for travel purposes in the playoffs for example double headers in the Hattiesburg area for 7A, 6A, and really all playoff games if necessary.

Brandon vs MRA or Manchester vs Morton might be a better option than Brandon vs Ocean Springs or Morton vs Leflore County for regular season games.

Morton vs Manchester???? How would that even be fair. Is Manchester even back playing 11 man?
