Interesting. Any idea what's next? Only the same that have been said before. Dover, New Philly are still open. Louisville has broken into the topic which would make a 10 team league and 2 smaller divisions of 5 with crossover games set. |

The remaining schools should be announcing something soon as it usually takes a 2 year process to change leagues.

Madison officially declined the SBC invitation to join despite them being the one's who first applied. Buckeye happening to OCC?

Or Madison realizes that the SBC makes zero sense from a travel perspective.

The SBC will invite Ashland and Lexington then. Possible Mansfield Senior. Madison, you are off the table!

Much more likely that Fremont would be accepted before these two. SBC will be "as is" until more River teams are added or the unthinkable happens (Genoa, Eastwood, Elmwood, etc. join in middle). |

With the OCC at 7 schools and talks heating up about Wooster branching off and the chance for West Holmes to join them, that would leave 5 current members looking for options. The MOAC is looking like it is going to be at 7 once BV leaves, since Highland voted not to join. How long before talks of a 12 team league starts with a big/small school division.
Mt Vernon
Ashland
Harding
Madison
Mansfield
Lexington
Ontario
Shelby
River Valley
Clear Fork
Galion

Mt Vernon Ashland Harding Madison Mansfield Lexington Ontario Shelby River Valley Clear Fork Galion PLeasant I think this could work. Would have to do crossovers and we know how hard that has been to accomplish in SBC. Not many schools believe in a multi division format but I am not sure they'd find anything more attractive than this set up. May be closest thing to Richland County League that they've talked about. Would be interested in Mount Vernon's current and long-term interest. Thought they were looking south (Capital Conference or another league). |

Two six team Divisions with 2 required(reason for 2 divisions) cross over games is a MUCH quicker death sentence than a 7 school league. When there is that much of a discrepancy between Divisions. Let the OCC die and take in the highest bidder of the five that are left. IF there's that big a desperation for an 8 school league. Remember, only ONE of the 20+ sports has AN issue in a 7 school league.
How long do you think Mt.Vernon would last in that league?
Why will the OCC implode? Wooster and West Holmes are tired of being in a league with 4 schools in the Mansfield area.
With those 2 Divisions, how long will it take the 3 Marion County schools to get tired of being in a league with 7 schools in the Mansfield area? As it is now, there are only 3 schools from the Mansfield area in the MOAC.

Would be interested in Mount Vernon's current and long-term interest. Thought they were looking south (Capital Conference or another league). It could be the best option with 2 leagues being at 7 ans looking to have that 8th league game for football. It still allows a couple bigger schools to think they are small and provides limited travel so fans will be more interested in going to away games. Also keeps a few rivalries alive and could start a few with schools that have good traditions in sports. With all that being said this is a long shot. |

ALL OCC schools will be able to think they are small by playing schools that are in 2 Divisions lower than they are, in cross over games. Limited travel for Harding? No limited travel in cross over games for the Marion County schools unless they always play each other.

I like it. It's not perfect. Bu I have suggested similar suggestions in the past. Of course WF shoots them down as always. Fact is just about every school in this scenario has scheduled each other in most sports in the past. And the recent past as well. Its a good thing that Willard does not have a vote. I'm not on a one on one with any of the administrators of the mentioned schools. But as anyone been able to forward this idea to them officially. Don't really suspect they are on this sight to get ideas for future planning.

WF shoots everything down that challenges his school. He values league titles much more than most do and the illusion of success.

The Bighose a dudette are the chickens, they are clueless about what I said because they are afraid to read all posts.
Big Lex Fan, I posted another viewpoint with some facts and data. In hopes of challenging thought processes and facilitating a debate. What did I get? Ignorant put downs, which proves all incapable of an intelligent discussion. All dudette did was suggest a new league out of desperation, with no data.
All three of you are completely without knowledge when it comes to Ontario and their leagues. When they joined the NCC they were a DIII school as were all other members except for Buckeye Central. How can Ontario be chicken if they joined the Big Bad NOL when they were the next to smallest school? When they joined the MOAC they were a middle sized school. At each stop they could have chosen to be an independent.
Why does Shelby choose to join the MOAC instead of one of soon to be at least three openings in the OCC?

Willard- because someone does not want to engage with you does not make them ignorant and it does not make them chickens. Why do you call the NOL big and bad? When the NCC kicked you out what other option did Ontario have other than the NOL? I do know that Shelby chose the OCC over the MOAC but they could not get the votes to become a member so they settled for the MOAC, which I am happy to have them.

If the OCC and MOAC stay at 7 schools each they could make a deal that they play each other in their open dates in weeks 4-10.
Clear Fork-West Holmes
Harding-Mount Vernon
Ontario-Mansfield
Shelby-Lexington
Galion-Madison
Pleasant-Ashland
River Valley-Wooster
Or something along those lines. Mount Vernon and Wooster really throw a wrench in it. Sorry if any of you find this to be an ignorant idea
