Episode Details

On Sportsline this week, Ty Taylor and Jim Taylor open the show discussing the newly formed IHSA competitive balance committee, which seeks to address disparities between public and private schools in interscholastic competition. Then, they recap the opening week of TRAC West baseball and softball conference games, including the two WRMJ softball broadcasts between Sherrard and Rockridge this week.

He touches on feedback the IHSA has received to its new enrollment classification policy, the challenges in finding a solution, what the outcome of the committee meetings could be, how transfers are impacting IHSA-sanctioned athletics, the impact school choice could have on the IHSA if it comes to Illinois, and more.
