Guest DT Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 13 minutes ago, Lysander said: Aside from the obvious reality that Heritage Christian and Covenant Christian are in the CCC and such a merger would leave them out in the cold, a CCC/CI merger would force a 9 game conference season. I think a 9 game conference season is problematic. I can’t imagine a Chatard season without a Cathedral game just as CN people can’t imagine not playing CE. I admit, it appeals to me personally but right now the CCC and the CI have the best of both worlds. The irony is that Chatard, this year, plays as many games against CI teams as against CCC teams. The merged CI/CCC can create their own bylaws. If they want to leave one or two weeks open for non con, they can do that. Nobody forces the 10 school SAC to play a full round robin. They choose to do so. If they wanted to play non con, they would simply put it to a vote and change the bylaws. Up until a few years ago, The DAC played a double round robin home and home basketball schedule. The schools got tired of it and cut down to a single round robin, as they were seeing the same schools in the post season for the third time. Leagues can do whatever they want, based on majority vote of their members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JV/Freshman games, then our marching band always uses this as a rehearsal facility for a few hours as well. If you’re going to tell the current 3-time National Champions they can’t use their football stadium for a neutral site game between Lafayette Jeff and Bloomington South, yikes I can’t imagine the war. LOL We can go down the road to Marian University and play at their facility while the team is on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanteEstonia Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 The only alignment for Conference Indiana that has any long-term viability: Terre Haute North Terre Haute South Northview Martinsville BHSS BHSN BNL Edgewood could be a great 8th member.

Martinsville has a slot in probably the most evenly balanced and competitive conference in the state. They aren't going anywhere. BNL is a fixture in the Hoosier Hills. Untouchable.

Hoosier Hills has had the same conference champion every year, and Columbus east would like a conference that could at least give them a challenge every few years. Not that CE is unhappy, and I think the CI teams welcome good competition. And I think Columbus North blocked CE out of CI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Nowlin Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Rensselaer has been travelling in the Hoosier conference since 2001 to the following places during our tenure: Hamilton Heights Sheridan Tipton Western Northwestern Some trips are 1;45 to 2 hours. I remember Volleyball playing 2 games on a Saturday back in the day with Sheridan/Tipton, knock out 2 for 1 day deal. We absolutely LOVE it.

I know. 400 people at a high school football game would be a travesty, especially at neutral site. Has disaster written all over it. 1 minute ago, Gipper said: Possibly, but isn't Warren on the East side--how convenient is that to the major roads? It's right off 70, very accessible. Both schools would be losing money after costs to rent Warren Central's field with that kind of attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
