WIAA Task Force reviews remanded football conference realignment plans
The 11-player football conferences - and schools associated with those remanded - that were re-evaluated by the Task Force included the Capitol, Dunn-St. Croix, Eastern Suburban, Heart O' North, Lakeland, Southwest, Southwest Athletic League and Trailways.
After a review of the eight football-only conference plans remanded back for further consideration, the Task Force will recommend a proposal to the Board with the four changes. The modifications include Brodhead/Juda being switched to the Southwest Conference, Southwestern/East Dubuque, Ill. placed in the Southwest Athletic League, Parkview/Albany moved to the Trailways and the Milwaukee Excellence Charter School aligned with the Capitol Conference.
The Task Force will also recommend a plan to the Board that maintains the original proposals involving the Eastern Suburban and Capitol Conferences, including Poynette and Horicon/Hustisford, as well as the Dunn-St. Croix, Heart O' North and Lakeland Conferences.
Hayward/Lac Courte Oreilles and Ashland are leaving the Great Northern Conference for the Heart O' North under the plan. Wausau East and Tomahawk are slated to take their spots in the eight-team GNC.
The revised Task Force recommendations will be presented to the board for final consideration at its April 25 meeting.
Football-only realignment decisions by the board will be implemented in the Fall of 2024.
