I'm not sure what the discussion is about. I see that it was correctly pointed out that the KYMSFA is a separate organization than KHSAA, and neither has anything to do with the other. KHSAA does not recognize and Non-High School organization, thus there is no connection between these organizations. Both organizations are "club" organizations, meaning that schools may participate in each voluntarily. KHSAA has a governing body, but the rules committee is made up of the member schools. KYMSFA has a similar organizational structure, but does not have the statewide oversight within the schools as does KHSAA.

Again, if someone could frame up the question for me, I could better assist. But based on the thread, there is no organizational structure that dictates KHSAA over KYMSFA. As for KHSAA trying to "do away with", I'm just not sure I understand the meaning of the comment. Our school is a member of KYMSFA, but they randomly choose which sporting functions they participate in.

I'm not going to say that the two organizations do not have issue with the other. The only things that I have heard during the start-up of the KYMSFA was the fact that since KHSAA felt they put controls into the HS eligibility by instituting the 8th grade rule (the school district that you attend your 8th grade year is where you will enter HS). That was to help with the recruiting fears. KYMSFA did not at the time have any rules for eligibility and the thought of having organized sports championships would open up recruiting into the middle schools. It is my understanding that is still an issue, so, if KHSAA has any issues with KYMSFA, if would be that there are no controls.

Again, if I'm missing something, its only because I do not know what you are trying to get answered.
