TigerFan20 Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Anyone can confirm VL is leaving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tango Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Who is the source? (Other than a guy who can't spell Vincennes) This wouldn't surprise me though. Sort of felt like it was coming at some point because Vincennes hasn't really competed in any sport since they've joined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guy claiming VL is leaving is Jasper fan, so he is definitely hearing something from someone. I’ll see what I can dig up, been reading that FB thread and it seems like they are suggesting VL is eyeing/assuming the PAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerFan20 Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) He could also be reading the SIAC thread on here too, since some talked about VL potentially leaving. So, I might take his post with a grain of salt for now. Let’s see what @SEAL_63 thinks about this Edited January 17, 2022 by TigerFan20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard there are schools that don’t want them and schools that wouldn’t mind. The schools that don’t want them are citing travel distances. How far is Washington to Mt. Vernon? Tell City traveled to Vincennes for years in the Big 8 days. All that said I wouldn’t be surprised if the PAC says no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the PAC says no, maybe they stay put for now? I agree with your thought process. I can't imagine a school just deciding to go independent. Linton did this a few years ago, but it wasn't until several years of discussion and they had outgrown their conference in terms of competitiveness. I would think a school would put out feelers and have talks with where they want to end up before they would jump ship. Thus far, it's all just rumor and speculation. Vincennes did just change principals the first of the year. Any administration change I have witnessed always came with rumors of proposed changes - whether there was any truth to them or not.

I can certainly see a new admin looking that the SIAC move closely from all angles to see if it was really the right move for the school competitively as well as fiscally.

Spitting Llamas Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Maybe we get our wish to a certain degree and the SIAC gains an open week of scheduling or perhaps VL joins the PAC and GS jumps from the PAC to the SIAC. No offense to VL, but either way I don't think the conference is left in a worse bad position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memorial and Mater Dei would be fun matchups….but many of us fans enjoy the Heritage Hills matchups just as much….and also gotta keep Princeton in check every year.

vicvinegar Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I never thought VL joining the SIAC made any sense. I just couldn't ever see them consistently competing. I hope they get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the SIAC added GS, the two divisions could be EVSC schools (Reitz, Harrison, Bosse, North & Central) and non-EVSC (GS, Castle, Jasper, Mater Dei and Memorial). I would be all for that. GS could obviously compete for conference titles in some sports (football and softball), but do you think GS would want to take on the higher level of competition across the board? I'm guessing GS is in the hunt for a PAC title in just about every sport, but that wouldn't be the case in the SIAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
