Very Happy to see Justin Kenny TOTALLY AGREE with every aspect of what I have consistently said about the SAC.
Again, the solution to the ability of the "BIG GUYS" to compete on a larger stage will probably come down to Carroll and Homestead (the 'red-headed step-children' in the SAC's money grab for FB and BB)...
(CHS and HHS) Leaving, and then cementing independent games with the more competitive teams of the SAC, in conjunction with picking up games in other areas of the State (or otherwise) against tougher competition, is the only way they and the SAC's bigger schools get better also.
By doing this, it would require the others "left behind" in the SAC to find outside competition (better). Since it is apparent the the SAC has no intention of moving off their closed-conference stance.
The SAC is only to the benefit of the lower classified schools! Period, Point Blank!
6A teams playing 2A through 4A schools for the entire regular season is fool-hearty. Play other 6A and or competitive 5A schools week-in and week-out. That will make you stronger in the long run. The "lower classified" SAC schools should have no issue finding competition above their classification, if they seek to do so on the off weeks.
I assume those that represent the teams (certain 2A and a certain 4A school playing up due to success factor) will be ... as usual the ones that are quite content with the SAC as it exists in FB.
And the beat goes on......
