If this move would happen, what would happen to the rest of the OVC....CG, RH, SP, CH, and Fairland? Since all the schools are playing the top dogs in the SOC now...CG-Minford/ Valley, SP-Burg, Fairland-West, RH-Valley/ West/ Burg, Peake-West....why not try a merge with SOC I and SOC II?

Well it would be tough finding another school, but to be honest if River Valley left would the O.V.C. even miss them??

I know they play most sports in the SOC 2, but for football they are a member of the SOC 1. Oak Hill needs a better conference for their football team, and if the SOC 2 isn't going to let them in for all sports why not move to the OVC. That would give the OVC an even 6 teams which means no open dates late in the season.
