MarshallCounty Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 My experience is that when conferences change it takes 2/3 years to adjust schedules and make a complete switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tango Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 The decision on divisions will be very interesting. It makes a huge difference in the main revenue sports (football & boys basketball). Currently, all SIAC schools keep the gate when they are home team, including the parochial schools who "rent" EVSC's Enlow and Reitz Bowl for the janitor fees. From what I understand, the EVSC then pools all the gate from its 5 schools and splits it among those 5 schools (to the chagrin of Reitz fans). Based on my observations of football over the last 30+ years (the largest gate revenue sport), the schools that consistently bring the most fans to away games would be Jasper, Gibson Southern, Memorial, Mater Dei, Castle, & Reitz. That would be a great division in terms of competition (in most every sport). But, with the exception of Central in recent years, the other schools don't typically bring a lot of fans. So, depending on the split, one division could be a large revenue pool and the other not so much. Deciding this issue could be where the loss of the EVSC majority control might be an issue.

Cappy Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 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/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernFan Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I was told Boonville got cold feet and now GS is waiting for another team to go in to stay even. I don't see any other teams wanting to join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumfriesYMCA Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 GS is probably really hoping for booneville or another school to join the SIAC because as it stands now, almost all the hopes and desires of creating a tougher conference schedule just fell through.

Screagle Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I think those two schools were on SIAC radar from day 1. Two great additions to the conference. Schedule is going to be a grind in several sports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gipper Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 As I look down from my perch upon the roof of the state, I can't help but be happy for this. I just wonder what the remaining Big 8 schools will do. I hope you guys figure it out--the games there are always fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimeqb Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I wonder if it will be a 9 game schedule for football? Heritage Hills and Southridge would end up being big losers in that case. I'm sure that was a nice gate every other year. Scheduling would be easier for the current SIAC schools. No more Terre Haute, Kentucky, Indy, or New Albany area road trips. Memorial can just dust off its schedule from the late 90's when they had Jasper week 1 and Lincoln week 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm a little surprised, it's surprised is a good way overall. With the exception of the IN-KY border bowl series, I know we've always had trouble finding a Wk 2 opponent sicne the series with Lincoln ended. Only drawback is it eliminates any chance of any Indy-Evansville challenge weekend, which is something I've always thought Memorial, Mater Dei, Reitz and Castle should try to get together and do. Welcome to the SIAC Jasper and Lincoln!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reitzguy Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 As a Reitzfan I would have much rather had GS in the conferance than Lincoln. GS is a much tougher team. Why did Boonville get cold feet. Do they not want to play a tougher schedule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it solves a lot of problems for SIAC schools in football and shouldn't be a huge undertaking for the ADs from a scheduling standpoint since a lot of SIAC schools already play Jasper and Lincoln in other sports.

I'm not sure what happened to editing, but anyway... Adding Lincoln gives more opportunities for Bobe's Pizza. Plus, Lincoln's basketball pep band jams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on recent history in football, I get why some might prefer GS over VL. But I really think the best has yet to come for Lincoln under Levi Salters. He’s just getting started. Lots of good football classes coming up the ranks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any VL sports program has question marks right now though, it’s the basketball program surprisingly. The pep band will remain strong though! Especially for conference games!
