Cappy Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 11 minutes ago, Titan32 said: Then again...aren't most contracts written in such a manner that an out is provided for in situations such as this? I mean certainly one could opt to stay in a contract in good faith, but my guess is a school could get out of one pretty easily should they so desire. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be a school by school decision. My only point is that most contracts can be gotten rid of if necessary...hopefully in a way that doesn't harm relationships. Hoping some SIAC matchups can come out of all of this in weeks 1 and 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see where you're coming from with Tecumseh but at the time they voted to allow it the PAC wanted Forest Park in the conference and doubt they wanted 9 teams in football so at the time it benefited all parties.

DumfriesYMCA Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Imagine if we lived in a world where you could have meetings from a variety of different places and have everyone else’s face on a tv screen to ask any question you would like. its a bummer that we live in a world that lacks a means to communicate to the point the only way you could possibly be well informed on anything would be to wait until just before a meeting to tell everyone you need clarifications on things. 🙄🙄🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveMosbey Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 How long can they keep delaying this and still have 2020 date ?? cant be easy task for 14 schools to rearrange their schedules especially Mount Vernon who needs to add 5 PAC schools and Gibson Southern and Heritage Hills who need to add 4 Big Eight schools. If it passes I wonder how this will affect all-conference teams and the PAC conference all-sport standings ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize a couple of statements from a month ago was stale. I understand a lot has happened, but I'm sure the Big 8 schools were having these discussions internally when news broke out of Illinois. Your statement about Washington and Lincoln getting new ADs is probably a huge factor. Do these schools want to be in separate conferences for football and the rest of their sports? Question here though (pardon me if this was covered): What happens if the proposal is accepted, but one schools opts out of the Big 8 or wants to leave the New PAC? Tell City joining the PLAC would make logical sense if they feel they can't compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell City joining the PLAC would make logical sense if they feel they can't compete. Tell City applied for the PLAC a few years back then withdrew their application. I think it centered around the PLAC not having swimming or tennis or something not being a conference sport. Tell City parents wanted the opportunity for their kids to be all-conference in their sport and wouldn't have it had they joined the PLAC.

Titan32 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 It seems to me this deal would be good for not only the schools directly involved but the whole area. It would be a shame if there were one school putting this thing into the ditch. BUT, as I stated very early in this thread....in terms on conference decisions a school has to look out for #1, hard to expect anything different than that.

I think there is a much greater chance of the SIAC adding 1 school than adding 2. Adding 2 would mean the 5 EVSC schools would no longer have majority control of the conference.

It is two or none because they do not want the fiasco of mid and late season non con games because a team can’t play a conference game every week because of an odd number of teams in the league.
