State championship football games will have predetermined sites in all Texas high school classifications starting next year.

The University Interscholastic League's Legislative Council voted Monday to have fixed sites in classes 1A through 4A. The state's largest classification, 5A, is in the third year of having both title games at the same site.

Below 5A, coaches still determine championship game sites either by mutual agreement or a coin flip.

UIL officials say they haven't decided whether games will be played at the same site.

Also starting next year, Class 2A will be split into large-school and small-school divisions before the season starts. Currently, that process takes place before the playoffs.

The UIL may argue that this is done so that the pre-determined site is set to eliminate any hassles or arguments between coaches, who can't decide on a site. But we all know it's ALL ABOUT THE MONEY! You can bet the UIL is in the process of making some pretty lucrative deals with venues/hotels etc.
