I think a KYMSFA board member would be the best option to give details on this subject, because I can only give the little bit of information that I obtained from a board member in a brief conversation. Thus what I was told was that the KHSAA and the KDE were working collectively to get a legislation passed that would regulate middle school athletic competitions. Thus would involve multiple sports not just football. It wouldn't necessarily end the KYMSFA, however it would significantly decrease games played and post season tournaments. Therefore from what I was told it would be almost impossible to continue with a state tournamet format within middle school.

GOBIGBLUE82, the information in your post is correct. The KHSAA was asked to look into "Limitations of Seasons" and other safety issue in middle school athletics by the KDE. The KHSAA response was that they do not have (nor do that want at this time) any authority of Middle School Athletics. Therefore the KDE is working with KHSAA and several KY Legislators on this issue. The KYMSFA as well as other Middle School State/Local Organizations have requested meetings with the KDE to discuss these matters.
