Any idea as to when the cutoff numbers will be announced? I’m assuming for class A, and possibly class 2A that the cutoff numbers for football and basketball will be different? I would think for 3A and above schools are fielding teams for both fb and bb, but that’s just an assumption.

Last alignment I posted the cutoffs here on December 8. As far as I remember, the cutoffs are the same, regardless of sport.

I looked at this several months ago when the UIL announced divisions in basketball. At that time I came up with a cutoff of 65.5 for basketball in order to evenly divide a Div 1 and Div 2. This was 4 students higher than for football due to some of the larger school playing 11-man included in 1A basketball and the fact that the majority of schools not playing football are on average slightly higher than the overall average for 1A.
If they go with the same cutoff for both sports, the UIL may have to fudge the cutoff for football up a point or so in order to keep Div 1 from being 15-20 schools larger than Div 2 in basketball. Bascially cutting the baby in half.

Basketball does not have a specific cutoff number. They are split D1 and D2 based off the enrollments of the 4 teams who make the playoffs. Biggest two D1, smallest 2 D2

OK. Wasn't sure if the current method would be permanent. Retaining that method would certainly simplfy things.
