At the WIAA Conference Realignment Task Force meeting on Thursday, the group heard appeals from schools and provided amended plans for football-only changes for 11-player football that would take effect in the 2026 season for a two-year cycle.
Schools and conferences that are directly affected by the amended realignment considerations have the opportunity to appeal the proposed changes to the Board of Control at its March 11th meeting, where the group can approve, reject, or remand all or parts of the proposal back to the Task Force for further consideration.
There were no changes to the proposed 8-player football realignment.
In 11-Player Football, several changes were proposed from the revised plans that were released in January. Please note the changes noted below are those from the last realignment plan, not those that are changes from the current (2024-2025) alignments.
