What shall come of this? 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?

s1nglewing Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 MAIS isn't struggling. The main idea is to coordinate with both leagues the evolving landscape of athletics (NIL, transfer eligibility, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wareaglefan1us Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 (edited) 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 Edited August 6 by Wareaglefan1us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Rebel Bert Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 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.

Rebel Bert Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morton vs Manchester???? How would that even be fair. Is Manchester even back playing 11 man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manchester has been 11 man the last three seasons and went 1-9 in 2025 and 2024. It's foolish to suggest a match up with Morton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maroontide06 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 1 minute ago, Bulldog2205 said: I am hearing they are merging before the count this fall. Why would they do that? St. Al in Vicksburg used to be in the MHSAA, but they got away from it and joined the MAIS. I don't think they would want to go back. What would they do about 8-man football that is currently in the MAIS? Also, what would they do with the schools that aren't in Mississippi that are part of the MAIS?
