ROUND ROCK, Texas — The University Interscholastic League Legislative Council met Tuesday to make decisions on proposed rule changes in UIL academics, athletics, music and policy.  The Legislative Council decided to do nothing when it came to adding a shot clock to the high school basketball games. The Legislative Council also decided to do nothing when it came to moving soccer to the fall, meaning it will stay in the spring for now. The council did reject the proposal to prevent freshmen from competing on varsity for any sport.  The Legislative Council approved an amendment to the reclassification and realignment policy as it relates to the conference placement of UIL member charter schools. The language will allow UIL staff the option to place charter schools as much as one conference above the conference for which their enrollment qualifies.
