Saw on another forum that there was a somewhat heated public meeting before the 3-2 vote.

Lucky for Ridgedale that Lehman Catholic and Riverside are leaving the NWCC in 2021 which would have been the hardest drives. This will suit the school's competition level more appropriately.

The reason there is room for Ridgedale is because those schools are leaving. Luck has literally nothing to do with it |

Riverdale reports Ridgedale joining Ridgemont due to Riverside departure. Rivermont and Ridgeside unavailable for comment.

Willard is on line one and tripping over themselves to get their letter of interest to the N10.

Willard is on line one and tripping over themselves to get their letter of interest to the N10. Is Willard thinking 8-man or independent football schedule? If not, all they're going to get is a busy signal and a letter returned to sender. |

Though would the N10 be interested. Ridgedale going independent for football dropped them to the perfect 8 for football, and now they'll be at 8 for the other sports too.

Willard is interested and is inquiring. Will N10 have interest? At 8 FB schools, I say no but if there were one of their schools looking elsewhere or moving down to 8-man, that may change the conversation.

Crestline is now willing to travel to the BVC for two years. Are they ready to jump back in the N10 if there were an opening? They are a much better fit for the N10 schools travel wise. |

Size wise, Willard is smaller tha Upper, but comparable with Bucyrus and Wynford. Thus, they would be a fit size wise. However, if Colonel Crawford could not stomach Galion, then they will never go for Willard, who would make it two teams that Coach Sheldon would struggle with in trying to win a conference title. Plus, Bucyrus, who has not beaten Willard since the earth cooled in Basketball, and Buckeye Central, who is a neighbor and much smaller school may not be so eager. I would be very surprised if it were to happen.

Why would the N10 want to add anyone? 8 is the ideal number for conferences and that puts the N10 there. In fact I wondered if they’d change their name to Northern 8 but I think I saw an 8 man conference going with that name? Regardless Willard may have interest but I would guess if the N10 did want to expand (which I don’t think they do), they would go for other schools before Willard. I think too many of the schools are not happy with Willard for backing out of the NCC when there was talk of expansion before the N10 began.

When the Big Three orchestrated the demise of the NCC and costructed the N-10, they obviously thought 10 was the "perfect number".

Some good points why is wouldn't happen. For the sake of the SBC Bay Division, let's hope that's the case. Not sure what the future of the SBC would look like if Danbury, SMCC go to 8-man and Willard jumps to N10 (or elsewhere-MOAC?).

The way I understood it was it was originally to be the Northern 8 without Bucyrus but Bucyrus wanted in it badly enough that they convinced the rest of the schools to add Ridgedale to make it an even number at 10. |

I believe the reality is the N10 will stay at eight. It's the ideal conference number. Sorry Willard, no room in the inn for you.

The only way that there would be a move back to ten would be if two schools that fit would make serious inquiries. Both Willard and Crestline have contacted the N10 this week. Neither of which really fit. Crestline walked away once and that probably wont get them a second look. Willard would be a good fit in most all sports. Hell 5 of the 9 teams are playing them in boys basketball this season. But like I said "fit" is important and I dont know if all the schools like that fit. What I have been told is 8 and a league name change are on the way after this season. I vote the Crawford Cronie League....😎😎

Ten is a terrible number for a football league, and presents some problems in the other sports also. Forced crossover games between larger and smaller schools doesn't work, the old NCC proved that. The SBC has tried to "encourage" crossover games but not require them. How's that going? Even if two schools that "fit" presented themselves, the current N10, or 8 or whatever you want to call them, will not go to ten. Any additions will be the result of their number going to seven or less for some reason.

They make it work really well for all sports. I agree football wise its nicer to have 3 nonconference games. But the least amount of hassle in finding only one nonconference seems pretty simple. The only real argument would be IF (and that's an anomaly) Upper ever got good at football they wouldn't get good points from beating most of the Current n10 teams. |

And seen the writing on the wall and bailed. New administration feels they would be a good fit again. But if I had to choose Upper coming back to the N10 was foolish especially if it could have predicted the southern part of the Moac leaving. But you cant predicted everything. |

It works for the WBL because in other sports they don’t play a double-round robin, but since the MAC is basically the same area they play all those schools. The MAC doesn’t play a double-round robin either. N10 seems to want to continue to play a double-round robin. Probably see a name change and the current 8 will be established going forward |

bighoss is correct. There were many complaints 1st year of N10 (such as from BB and volleyball teams) about not having enough non conference games to prepare for league and/or rivals they wanted to play. Going away from double round robin creates too many non conference games. The current N10 schools are never going to vote for adding two schools to make 10 no matter who they are.
