How will the NMAA decide the next two-year block?

The September 18th meeting can't come soon enough as many across the state hope the NMAA can and will fix the mistake of the last two-year block.

Football, they did get right. Basketball they did not.

Also, why 6A in football and 5A in others? With the range in numbers and open enrollment we do believe it is time for 6 classes in all or also a look at competition levels.
