Change in Chicago Public League Football Conferences (REVISED)

The Chicago Public League office has swapped the divisional affiliations of Chicago (Tilden) and Chicago (Lindblom). Tilden was experiencing difficulties due to a lack of players, so they have been moved from the South-Central Division to the North-South Division. Lindblom was switched in the opposite direction. Each school will pick up the remaining schedule of the other. Tilden will finish the season playing Lindblom's original conference schedule, and vice versa.

Teams in the Chicago Public League's North-South Division, to which Tilden was moved, are not eligible for the IHSA football playoffs. By virtue of leaving this division and joining the South-Central, Lindblom now becomes eligible.
