MAIS refuses to follow its own rules and its harmed athletics greatly. 3A schools playing w/ 6A talent…what are classifications for anyway?

I think that was just the river town schools and at Joe. The coastal catholic schools and Hattiesburg still play public I believe. But that was apparently just the first step in chasing all private schools out. I’m assuming the south Mississippi catholic schools will have to leave also if they are going to apply 1.5 multiplier. Or else start recruiting. (Or does Stanislaus already recruit?)
St. Stanislaus already has a 2.0 multiplier on them since it’s an all-boys school…

So are they not going to make them do a 3.0 multiplier? Is there any reason that wouldn't be idiotic and nonsensical?
The 2.0 multiplier isn't really a multiplier. It just accounts for the fact it's an all boys school. They would have to go to a 2.0 * 1.5 multiplier, which would be 3.0. But it's really just a 1.5. For example say St. Stan has 300 students, all boys. Other schools in their district have 600 students, with 300 boys. The 2.0 multiplier only equalizes the co-ed vs boys only. You still need the additional 1.5 multiplier if you're going to give private schools a 1.5 multiplier.

Right. So not going to 3.0 would be ridiculous and give them an advantage compared to co-ed private schools. I can't imagine they're not going to put them at 3.0, unless for some reason they don't want to chase them out, just the other private schools.
