Superintendents in AAA will be surveyed on having spring football. Survey approved for 3 teams in playoffs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Athletic Committee meeting adjourned at 2:15, No mention of realignment. That should be discussed at policy meeting at 3:00. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The reason why the spring football issue came up was tht there are a lot of schools in AAA who used to be in AAAA and they were used to having it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The policy meeting is underway. Dr. Breithaupt is talking about the realignment proposal as I write. 2:38 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There was a lot of discussion about realignment and the two division concept. It was hard to tell where the UIL stands on this. There are some good parts and some bad parts to this issue. The response so far has been about half and half. It was discussed to try this in one conference. The policy committee moved to discuss in the full legislative council on Monday morning. 2:58

Four teams to playoffs survey only passed in AAAA. Committee gave favorable recommendation for supt. vote in AAAA only.

Officials pay i ncrease was passed. Looks like baseball is going to a flat fee because many schools do not charge admission at baseball games. Proposal to add $10.00 rider fee for officials that ride together in one car passed.

Athletic Committee Business Meeting has started at 1:10. 1:18 Discussion on requiring helmets for pole vaulters. There is a want for this, but there are no helmets made that meet ASTM standard. Also NFHS has no rule for this. Proposal to postpone again passed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1:31 Officials pay increase under discussion. Looks like $5 per game increase proposal for bb, vb, sb. Subvarsity pay scale also proposed for fb, bb,vb.

6 man coaches want rule to protect center in football. Wants to be able to play up from division 2 to division 1. He talked about the positives in 6 man football in division 1 & 2.

Parents from Richardson HS gave a detailed presentation on level playing field for enrollments in all sports and academics. Houston ISD wants exception for one play districts because 20-5A will have 14-15 schools. Grant them a separate and additional district for academics and one act play. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tennis want to stop stacking in matches in district and playoffs. They also want to add a 3rd team in the playoffs and change in regional tournament format. I think he wants to get rid of the regional tounamenrs s they are and go to playoff brackets like other sports. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brownsville ISD would like regional sites rotated for region 4, Looks like they are tired of going to San Antonio. Mentioned several instances of problems in San Antonio. Talked about great facilities in the Valley. "Our students deserve the Thanksgiving dinner, but have dessert too."

TAO asked for more money for officials. Keith Kilgore discussed problems in Houston area with officials negotiating their fees and holding schools hostage. Dr. Breithaupt asked if competition would be a good idea. Conroe ISD has to pay travel for volleyball officials from downton Houston. So far they have paid over $2000 in travel. If they paid actual mileage, it would be about $900. He called it fraud.

Report: Indians' Byrd bought $25K worth of HGH Substance not banned by MLB during time in question BOSTON — Cleveland pitcher Paul Byrd, whose win in Game 4 of the ALCS moved the Indians within one victory of the World Series, bought nearly $25,000 worth of human growth hormone and syringes from 2002 to 2005, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Sunday. Byrd, known for his old-school windup and savvy, purchased the HGH from a Palm Beach, Fla., anti-aging clinic under investigation by authorities for illegally distributing performance-enhancing drugs, the paper said. During the time of the alleged purchases, the 36-year-old Bryd was with the Kansas City Royals, Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Angels. HGH was not banned by baseball then. According to the Chronicle, which reviewed the clinic's business records, Byrd used his credit card and spent $24,850 on more than 1,000 vials of HGH, an injectable prescription drug with muscle-building properties. He also bought hundreds of syringes. The allegations against Byrd came as the Indians prepared to play the Boston Red Sox in Game 7 of the AL championship series at Fenway Park on Sunday night. "We aware of the story regarding Paul," general manager Mark Shapiro said in a statement. "I have spoken with Paul about the situation, however, at this time I don't feel I have enough information to make any further comments on the matter. "He has been an important member of this organization — on and off the field — over the last two years and we support him in this process." Byrd won Game 4 for the Indians at Jacobs Field on Tuesday. In the AL playoffs, he earned the victory in Cleveland's Game 4 series-clinching win over the New York Yankees.
