Any possibility of Meadowbrook leaving? Haven't been hearing promising things from the ECOL. Possibility of zanesville wanting to join the league Newark is in or the MVL.

Was told when Waterford left they said they would never comeback.
They may not have invisioned conference trips to south gallia and Wahama back then. The TVC that Waterford left for was,
Ohio
Alexander
Belpre
Meigs
NY
VC
Wellston
Hocking
Eastern
Fed Hock
Miller
Southern
Trimble
Waterford
I just doubt it will ever happen. Waterford is a perfect fit where they are and only a catastrophic event like splitting the Hocking Division up or consolidation would change things enough to create a better option.

Meadowbrook, Coshocton, & River View were just accepted by the MVL (which will split into 2 divisions).
Cambridge and Zanesville wanted in and Zanesville rep basically threw a public fit over the non-interest.
Enrollment numbers are fairly close with the exception of Beallsville.

SHENANDOAH
BARNSVILLE
BELLAIRE
BRIDGEPORT
SHADYSIDE

Stills leaves a couple open weeks for rivalry games: Magnolia/River, Ferry/Bellaire ETC.
The travel isn't bad as the longer distances will be mostly interstate. Shadyside/Bellaire/ Bridgeport/Bellaire to Caldwell/Shen. 60-65 miles.
Bellaire may not want out of the Buckeye 8?? Beallsville may choose to continue to play smaller schools too?? Some schools may want to stay independent other than OVAC??
Just putting an idea out there.

Mark Cook of Barnesville and Aaron Bates of Buckeye Trail need to strike while the iron is hot and work on this league. Get Leffingwell involved at Shenandoah and make this happen.

So you’re saying just dump Fort Frye out of the league?

I would love to see Fort Frye in the TVC. It was supposed to happen in the early '70s, but never did. I never found out why. When I read old articles from the Messenger on microfilm while researching NY football history, there were several articles that talked about Fort Frye joining not long after NY joined. Fort Frye even played a TVC schedule in baseball one year according to one article I read. Not sure why they played in only sport for one year? That was odd to me. I never could figure out the big picture as to what happened that Fort Frye did not join.
The thing is............the Hocking Division really doesn't need any more schools, unless everyone only wants to play one nonleague game in football.
The Ohio Division could use one more team. Would Fort Frye want to play in the Ohio Division? Or is NY alone in wanting to be the giant slayers?
If Fort Frye and the TVC got things worked out which division would they belong in? Not much room in the Hocking but I am betting they would want to keep playing waterford.
I cant say for certain but I would be very surprised if we get Buckeye Trail back. The people I talk to there in the know love the IVC, they feel last year it was a very small minority of people who made a lot of noise. The dislike for the IVC wasnt as bad as it seemed. Now the IVC is making even more changes with switching Newcomerstown and Sandy Valley and possibly adding Conotton Valley. They will look to keep Barnesville, Caldwell and hopefully add a Monroe Central or Fort Frye and call it a day. Ask me this same questions last year I would have said Trail would bolt, but now after some of those people have left and quieted down I think Trail will stay. Trail fans do hate the crossover games in the IVC.

The people I talked to say the direct opposite. Why go to Canton on a Tuesday for Volleyball when you can go to Shenandoah or Caldwell. Like you said they hate the crossover games.
Schedule of
Fort
Shenandoah
Caldwell
Monroe Central
Barnesville
Can't see Monroe Central ever joining the IVC. Their A.D. would never do it and the once proud program can't dress 20 kids anymore.
Everyone's playing Fortnite. The PVC was once a proud little conference, but those days are gone sadly.

Would be way more ideal in football
Yes, crossovers are brutal but the travel is worse! Yes, they will be able to compete in their division in football but how about all the other sports in IVC? Still blows my mind they left PVC in the first place. Can't understand why this wouldn't be a perfect fit for all..6 for sure and find 2 more if you want divisions:
Fort Frye
Monroe Central
Barnesville
Shenandoah
Buckeye Trail
Caldwell
