Ontario isn't in the SBC. Ontario to Sandusky is why Ontario didn't join the SBC. Norwalk to Ontario is 40 miles. Norwalk to Maumee is 68 miles. Norwalk and Ontario play each other in football and basketball. Norwalk currently doesn't play anyone 68 miles away from them. The fathest Lake Division trip for Norwalk is Tiffin. How is Norwalk to Maumee 68 miles when Norwalk to Toledo is roughly 60? We're supposed to believe you?? MapQuest is FAR FAR more reliable.

Not much from what I understand. SBC is looking outside the box with a couple creative ideas to stay ahead of the next round of changes. Trying to meet with those schools/conferences (NBC, BG, Maumee, Northwood) in coming weeks. Not sure it will come to fruition but you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Heard that talks are happening for sure with BG and Maumee for the Lake division. We’ll see what comes of that. Talks happening? Yes. Realistic they join? Far-fetched for many reasons, IMO. Travel being the most obvious.

Never mind, my brain stopped working for a minute. I did see your post.... Just to bite, what would Clay and Ross' selling points to get to SBC Lake? They can't pull 'a Clay to NLL' act. Hopefully, Clay learned that lesson.

Actually Ross and Clay would be better off if they tried to get teams to leave the SBC Lake and join a league with them rather than trying to please the current Lake lineup.

How is Norwalk to Maumee 68 miles when Norwalk to Toledo is roughly 60? Per Mapquest, Norwalk High School to Maumee High School is 70 miles if you take the interstate and 64 miles if you take Route 20. Interstate is quicker by 10 minutes.

If the Lake division wants to be at 8 schools then they might as well dissolve the tier idea and let each division go their seperate ways

Ross already had their hands in the cookie jar to the point at least 2 Conferences/Leagues blew up.

The GMC just gave Holgate the boot, so this should start the conference rearranging pretty quickly.

The BBC and GMC will probably merge altogether at some point or the football schools will go one way and the non football schools another

Holgate had received an invite to join the BBC but their board voted it down 3-2 earlier this month. Holgate's board will be holding an emergency meeting today. More travel in the BBC, but not sure what other options they have short term.

How is Norwalk to Maumee 68 miles when Norwalk to Toledo is roughly 60? It would be 59 miles from Norwalk HS to Maumee HS if you could take this approach:

Sounds as though there may be a bit of tension in the SBC River with “will they go to 8-man” or won’t they...

Sounds as though there may be a bit of tension in the SBC River with “will they go to 8-man” or won’t they... That's a big part of it. From what I understand the small schools they are "targeting" aren't keen on SMCC and Danbury. Instability and lack of competition from the latter.

From what I hear SMCC and SJCC seem to be the issue....both want to play 11-man, but numbers may dictate otherwise. The obvious fear, and rightfully so, is that come this summer it will turn out to be just what happened a year ago...although on a larger scale. The comment made to me was "The SBC in it's current state won't be intact in 2021."

As far as river division. Why doesn’t league mandate and get ahead of SJCC and SMCC and make them go 8 man. Invite Woodmore and Northwood to join. Would give a little SLL and MAL feel to it. What about Fostoria joining?
Football schools
Woodmore Lakota Gibsonburg Northwood Calvert Hopewell SJCC Marg

Some schools don't have soccer, swimming, bowling, tennis or full teams for CC, wrestling, T/F or golf. Forcing a school to play 8man would set a precedent.

Not forcing them to play a sport as they were going to play football anyways. It would be steering them in a direction better for the league. Too many scheduling issues if your cannot complete your schedule or be successful enough to help w computer points. Can’t have 10-0 Gibsonburg not making the playoffs.

Gibsonburg went about 15 deep - only competing against similar schools. They were in one of the toughest regions in any division - had more points than Clyde I believe. Nobody believes they could compete in those larger divisions but they had enough points. D 6 & 7 football is a different game. Get in a region with some of the most successful small schools in the state and 10-0 isn’t good enough some years

Gibsonburg numbers wise has no business playing in the crummy Bay division anyway heck vermilion has the numbers an couldn't compete in the Bay. The Bay will stay weak with Willard and Vermilion in it. The other teams will have to beef up that non league and get some wins in it to make the postseason consistently

no what I am saying is that if vermilion and willard don't improve in football, then its going to be tough for Bay teams who don't play solid non league schedules and win some of those games to make the playoffs.
