53 schools have been added to HSLogos in the last week, adding to the totals in Washington, Alaska, and Arkansas. As always, thank you to the school administrators who verify the logos so they can be displayed. More to come throughout 2026!

Which ones here stick out to you?

[Levi Maierhofer @winlevim]

@BillStephens47 @Matt_Rodewald Without super deep research, there are at least four "Central" schools in Illinois that I always add the geographic designation to even if it's not technically part of the name (plus the other 20 that *actually* include the signifier).

✨FULL SPEED AHEAD✨

@VincentDJohnson @BBallMuseumIL @Irish_Athletics @SenecaTourn @SenecaHS @SenecaIrishBB Come stop by the scorer's table, excited to see you there!

@ViewFromWestPod ...my alma mater is now in a conf with less wrestling, TF, XC, and GBB, and a whopping 0 other speech teams. I truly like the FB qualifying, but it left plenty of other activities shaken for the sake of that 5th FB win. Time for the experiment🧪 (Still, the SMAC part concerns me)

[Levi Maierhofer @winlevim]

@ViewFromWestPod 😁Great listen today guys, thanks for answering questions of this glass-half-full guy! Learned a lot, especially with the SMAC guidelines. Obviously y'all know my thoughts, but you also know I come from a school that will likely benefit from this system outside of football...

[Levi Maierhofer @winlevim]

I am VERY excited for the release of the @SenecaTourn hype video on Monday night... learned so much about lighting, sound design, color grading, masking, speed ramping, and the new film impact dashboard during this process. I think you're gonna like it⚓️

[Levi Maierhofer @winlevim]

@ViewFromWestPod Despite my naivety (or negativity depending on your side here), thanks for all you guys do to cover this! I personally don't think next year will lose any luster, and I'm excited for another week of VFTW coverage in the coming season!

[Levi Maierhofer @winlevim]

@ViewFromWestPod Do you think people are putting too much emphasis on the football cons here and not enough on the good it can do for other sports? Anecdotally, i think of schools like old Interstate-8 or new Upstate 8 where football was a heavy factor in shifts.

[Levi Maierhofer @winlevim]

@ViewFromWestPod -Will we see a proposal next year for all other sports to start limiting postseason qualifiers? If the postseason is REALLY that important for a school to "qualify," that would be an easy bandwagon for those schools to hop. I think we'd watch conferences burn though.

[Levi Maierhofer @winlevim]

@ViewFromWestPod -If people are worried about blowout games in the first round or two, why do we still allow it to happen in Week 3? No one ever WANTS a blowout, but it would reinforce good teams vs teams needing work.

[Levi Maierhofer @winlevim]

@ViewFromWestPod -Is it creating more "meaningless" games or more "meaningful" games? For instance, a 1-5 starting team can go 4-5, but their Week 7-9 games have no "meaning" if they can't qualify.

[Levi Maierhofer @winlevim]

@ViewFromWestPod Asking the question on EVERYONE'S mind: Will 8-man be going to 24 teams?

[Levi Maierhofer @winlevim]

@NUICFootball I know we won't know the impact, but I think football-driven conference switches will subside, which I know was a reason for this (and the district prop). Hoping to see some revived conference rivalry as dust clears.
I've been called naive before, and today is no different.

[Levi Maierhofer @winlevim]

@BandoPretzel If this many fans/coaches/schools think this is "watering the playoffs down," I expect to see a proposal to limit the teams that make basketball et al postseasons on the ballot next year. It's another game for students, let's enjoy that.
