  MSHSAA.TV New Pricing Structure

  Oct 2, 20269 minS7

  MSHSAA TV Announces New Fall Postseason Pricing: One Pass Per Round + Final Site Options On the MSHSAA All Access podcast, CFO/COO Craig Long and Communications Director Andrew Kauffman announce a new MSHSAA TV pricing structure for fall postseason championships. Previously $10 bought one individual postseason game; now football is $10 per round for access to all games statewide that weekend, while other fall sports (girls volleyball, boys soccer, fall softball) are $5 per round for all games in that round. Final site passes include $25 for the football Show-Me Bowl (all seven games) and $25 for cross country (all 10 races), with fall softball finals priced at $20 due to semifinal logistics and no announcers; an additional $20 single-game option is offered for the Show-Me Bowl. They explain buying through mshsaa.org and school pages, confirm the 20% revenue share to host schools remains, emphasize supporting commercial broadcasters, and note purchases allow rewatching games in that round, with games becoming free after June 30 each year.

  MSHSAA Championships RFP Announcement

  Sep 29, 202621 minS7

  MSHSAA Championship Venue Updates (Through 2031) + How the RFP Process Works | Craig Long On the MSHSAA All Access Podcast, Executive Director Dr. Jennifer Rukstad and CFO/COO Craig Long explain how MSHSAA selects championship venues through a competitive RFP process and why the association is shifting from multiple staggered five-year cycles to a consolidated, shorter three-year approach, with the next comprehensive RFP planned around January 2029. They recap board-approved venue decisions designed to align all agreements by 2030–2031: football remains at Missouri Western in St. Joseph; wrestling stays with Mizzou, using Hearnes Center for girls and Mizzou Arena for boys on consecutive weekends due to added girls classes; basketball remains at Mizzou despite higher costs; boys and girls volleyball move to Cape Girardeau’s Show-Me Center with host support bringing net cost to zero; and theater transitions in spring 2027 with speech and debate staying in Springfield one more year before both move to Jefferson City/Lincoln University starting 2027–2028.

  Sep 18, 202610 minS7

  How Emerging Sports Become MSHSAA Championship Activities (and What’s Next for Girls Flag Football & Esports) Dr. Jennifer Rukstad, Executive Director of the Missouri State High School Activities Association, explains how “emerging” sports and activities are recognized and what it takes for them to become fully interscholastic with MSHSAA-sponsored championships and services. She outlines the 2026–2027 list of emerging offerings (including girls field hockey, girls lacrosse, boys and girls water polo, girls stunt, unified track and field, bass fishing, bowling, chess, and target shooting) and clarifies what schools do and do not receive when registering an emerging program. Rukstad details the bylaw 5.2 registration thresholds (50+ schools across at least three board districts in consecutive years) and highlights girls flag football’s rapid growth toward a membership vote, esports’ provisional status after a failed vote, and the push to expand unified track and field participation.
