Loudonville to Marion is a heck of a drive. 50 miles. Actually, it’s 62 Miles From Harding on the east side of Marion to Loudonville. Just one of the reasons That idea won’t work. |

I do know that but it was just a discussion. Lighten up a little. If the MOAC is going to get to 8 they will have to accept someone with a little drive since we have ruled out the obvious options.

Loudonville to Marion is a heck of a drive. Yes it is, Highland would have been a better drive. |

Too bad Highland doesn’t want in the MOAC.

Was it a factor for Highlands choice that only 3 of the 7 schools were in the central district?

No, the deciding factor was neither the football or b ball coach felt like they could compete for a title in the MOAC. The other coaches were in favor.

So the decision was made by the coaches? And 2 out weighed all the others.

It's irrelevant, I've seen this movie before already with the NCC. Highland will keep growing and eventually the smaller schools will either force them out or leave. It's a matter of when not if.

What is relevant is will the MOAC stay at 7 schools and wait for that to happen. I don’t need to remind anyone that Harding is much larger than anyone in the MOAC and they have not been forced out. In talking to some NCC insiders that was not only about enrollment size.

I can't stand them....but in the KMAC they are playing their actual rivals. They are making the correct decision financially. Unless they grow out of DIV in football, they will stay put. |

In talking to some NCC insiders that was not only about enrollment size. Galion said nothing about size. He said the FB and BB coaches didn't think they could complete in the MOAC. Tell us, who were the top teams in basketball and football this year? What they don't want, is to lose to little Pleasant all the time. |

Ontario had huge rivalries with Wynford and C.Crawford. That didn't stop them from being the leaders in throwing them out of the NCC. |

Is the reason you "can't stand them" have anything to do with Cardington losing to them most times? |

When did you talk to "some" about this subject? |

I think it has to do with location and size. Highland is DIV in football and growing and has really nice facilities. Their location also works well for the MOAC. They are much closer to Marion than some and even the furthest trip for them (which is Shelby), is only 35 miles and a straight shot up 314. Unfortunately, Pleasant will definitely be a force to be reckoned with and apparently the football and b-ball coaches at Highland would rather dominate the smaller KMAC schools than accept a challenge in the MOAC. My guess is galion is right on and eventually the rest of the KMAC will get tired of being dominated and vote them out. Time will tell if there will be a good place for them to go when that happens...... |

Unlike Galion, Highland was a charter member of that conference and did just fine. Their new league makes much more financial sense, allows them to play all of their long time rivals, and allows them to remain competitive. That's not being afraid....that's called common sense. Literally, RIGHT NOW, there are zero reasons for them to leavee. The ONLY reason so many MOAC fans are being butt hurt, particularly the "new" MOAC fans, is that they are now short a team. Now you want to guilt Highland into joining a league that only makes sense for the MOAC schools and not Highland....let alone the fact that the MOAC has proven itself to be a VERY unstable league recently. Again....I say all of this as someone that strongly dislikes Highland and its athletics programs. RIGHT NOW Highland is making the smart move by staying put. Saying otherwise is shortsighted. |

Everyone knows (from the old JJ huddle board) that Pirate doesn't like Highland. Or purple. lol
And everyone from the "old MOAC" knows that the reason the MOAC is in the mess it is, is because of Highland! Highland orchestrated the blue division, and later the KMAC. I don't see them going anywhere for awhile.

I agree with you, Pirate. The KMAC makes much more sense for Highland right now and a move would be shortsighted. I also agree with MOAC Momma that the MOAC is in the mess it’s in now because of Highland pushing for expansion. I personally don’t believe the MOAC is as unstable as some think. I think the 7 that are left want to actually be together. I was told 2 1/2 years ago that the 7 that are left wanted to form a new league. Instead the MOAC is that league. I’m sure many of the fans of especially the new MOAC schools do want an 8th member. I just hope it’s the right one. |

Not sure who you are talking to but I can see Pleasant leaving if there was a better opportunity.

I could see that as well just based on the rumblings that they wanted to. That being said, I don’t think a better opportunity exists and I personally don’t know that one will unless everything blows up again.

Based on the history I was surprised that Highland even had to put it to a vote. Staying with the KMAC does make sense.
