Report from IHSAA – Rick Wulkow
1. State Leadership Conference held in June was a big success – over 300 participants.
2. The conference for new Athletic Directors / Administrators attracted over 70 participants and the IHSAA will continue to work through out the year with all participants
3. For Football the host allowance will increase with larger crowds. Schools hosting that have large crowds will be allotted a greater percentage for hosting. Tournament travel allowance has been increased for this year – easier to calculate. (see pages 13-14 in 2008 IHSAA Play-off Manual)
4. Bowling will be sanctioned with the IHSAA in 2009-2010. A bowling committee will be formed to workout rules, regulations, and policies.
5. Officials in Football, Basketball, and Baseball will be required to attend clinics held throughout the state in addition to a State sponsored rules meeting. Officials will improve their status in rank if they complete all requirements.
