*Allow 6A schools to play each other in two 6A conferences during football regular season only.
*Allow 7A schools to play each other in two 7A conferences during football regular season only.
*All sports other than football would continue to play geographic conferences as currently assigned. All sports would continue to have separate 6A and 7A state championships with seeding and play-off systems determined by the 6A and 7A Principals Association respectively.
The AAA board unanimously approved the 2012-2014 7A-6A classifications and conference as originally set by the AAA Staff.
