STEVENS POINT, Wis. – The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association Conference Realignment Task Force convened Thursday to hear appeals of the previously modified solutions and finalize plans for 11-player football and lacrosse conference realignment. 

Based on the information shared during the appeals of the modified solutions, the Task Force amended the 11-player football and the lacrosse conference realignment plans to be effective in 2026. There were no changes to the 8-player football plan. The details of the amended plans and the complete configuration of conference affiliation recommendations for football and lacrosse are available for review by accessing the “Requests and Proposals” option on the WIAA’s Conference Realignment web page.
