IHSAA pitches football playoff changes

BOONE – Discussions over the number of qualifying playoff teams in the Iowa High School Athletic Association’s football playoffs have been going on for more than a decade, and another new proposal was brought before the Board of Control at the Thursday, Dec. 19 regular meeting.

Two recommendations for 32 qualifiers per classification were made at the football advisory committee meeting on Dec. 11. Both were proposed by the Iowa Football Coaches Association and approved by the advisory committee, and both would affect the postseasons for classes 3A, 2A, 1A, A and Eight-Player.
