Chapel Hill, N.C. After a series of appeals, the N.C. High School Athletic Association has released the second draft of the 2021-2025 realignment proposal.
The second draft takes into account all appeals submitted by schools following the first draft, which was released in December. However, not all appeals were honored.
“This draft represents a sacrifice of time by committee members to review and study all submitted suggestions and proposals,” said NCHSAA Commissioner Que Tucker in an update to schools about the second draft. “While the draft does not satisfy all wishes and wants of each member school, it does represent an intentional effort by the committee to be fair and consistent in its decisions relative to any changes in conferences from the initial draft.”

Chapel Hill, N.C. The N.C. High School Athletic Association Board of Directors and the State Board of Education have made an allowance to student-athletes regarding academic eligibility for the spring semester.
NCHSAA Commissioner Que Tucker notified member schools on Friday morning that the board of directors passed an amendment to its academic eligibility rules regarding state-mandated End of Course tests. As a result of students being given the option to delay taking the End of Course tests until Spring 2021, or even as late as Summer 2021, the State Board of Education is allowing the NCHSAA to adopt and implement a reasonable waiver, Tucker wrote to the membership.
