Cappy

I heard GS non conference will be Southport, Southridge, Henderson County... just what I heard Tecumseh does not want to be in the small division either.

I don’t know what benefit it is or would be for the PAC. Maybe the PAC schools want to help these other schools and solidify the conference? At this point I expect the PAC to expand and go big/small divisions but who knows! Things change in a hurry!

Which done deal? Big8 joining PAC for football or Boonville and GS to SIAC? Lots of changes

To me Princeton and MtV and Washington are all about the same. P/MtV are probably traditional better in Football than Washington. Washington is traditionally better in basketball. Don’t really know about other sports... Washington is probably closer to most of the PAC not in Gibson or Posey County.

Off topic but I heard Mt Vernon hired and Strength and Conditioning Coach. He previously worked at Bobs Gym and with the State Champion Sprinter and the QB Felton a couple years ago at Harrison. Coach Brunson’s brother Cris. I heard all of this and know none of it. So if it is inaccurate I apologize.

Why Princeton?

What would be the benefit to the PAC adding the four remaining Big8 schools? The PAC could remain unchanged now that GS isn’t going to the SIAC.

Maybe just two schools for now... https://www.courierpress.com/story/sports/high-school/2019/05/21/siac-add-vincennes-lincoln-and-jasper-amid-conference-reshuffling/3742346002/

Didn’t say no more PAC conference, but I anticipate a new conference to be formed still named the PAC with new members.

New conference in the works

Hearing one PAC school and 3 Big8 schools

Heard from pretty reliable source that the SIAC will be finalizing an expansion tomorrow that will include schools from PAC and the Big8.

That would be a scheduling nightmare to get started!!! I'll put Coach Schenk on it

This is what I was told as well, I have been told that the vast majority of programs in both conferences are for this at the AD level and above.

North Posey will have turf next season so will Mt. Vernon

The schedules are complete and are part of the proposal. Tell City is one of the schools who really supported this proposal

I understand and because of the bylaws it is not as easy as I suggested.

I understand most of the time you can buyout a contract. If I remember correctly Princeton had to pay North Posey $300 to get out of a contract so they could play Wood Memorial about 10 years ago. I think, never been told this, but I think the goal was to honor all current contracts. If situation occurred and it was not possible to honor one or more of these contracts then so be it. Personally I hate that Tecumseh is staying independent, and personally I wish they would either be in or be out of the conference all together. I don’t like that the PAC is giving them special partial membership.

I don’t think it would be in good taste for the conference to void all contracts with outside schools. It may happen in certain situations but I’m sure they will try to minimize damaging relationships. I know one AD in particular who has worked really hard to make this work. I’m pretty confident he will take the blame for whatever people don’t like but I think he is ok with that if this works out.

I don’t think that it is possible to move all non conference games to the front of the season and honor schedule contracts that already exist. For example, Linton is scheduled to play Boonville about mid season for four years. Now another team may be taking over that contract but I doubt they can get it moved to the beginning of the season. Linton needs that game for their schedule at mid season and it’s contracted for that.

Tecumseh doesn’t want to play Southridge is what I’ve been told. Small School: SR, NP, TC, PC, FP, SS, Tec Big School: Jas, BV, VL, GS, HH, Wa, PR, MTV I have heard Washington wants in small school division so maybe that happens if Tecumseh gets out...

It’s possible that another PAC school may take over this contract.

It is not a merger nor is it a new conference, the Big 8 schools would be joining the PAC for football. The PAC decided if that is going to happen they will do a large school and small school division of the PAC, this is my understanding...
