Will Unioto leave the SVC?

[Nickel back]

I don't see any changes for the Scioto Valley Conference in the near future.

[Bigdog]

and some who should know say it is a done deal. What is the real truth?

[wrestlefan]

the conversations are happening.

Rumblings out of Chillicothe is any discussion is very preliminary and nothing is remotely close.

I think this move makes a lot of sense, so that means it will not happen. While there are some schools who would support it, there are still a few "old guard" members who will fight it. If it doesn't happen, I think it makes sense for Unioto to jump. It makes no sense to stay in a conference where all of the other members are much smaller than you. Unioto now has a very good football coach but he has to build a program knowing that no matter how good they are, the odds of making the playoffs are slim due to their conference schedule.

Chillicothe gazette article leads us to believe that we won't be seeing a change in the SVC in the next year or so.
The Gazette reporter done a great job of pointing out that Chillicothe has been in 3 different leagues in the past 10 years.

Stability must be taken into consideration when making such a huge decision on the future of your athletic programs.
And then Unioto must look at: a 30 minute drive to its furthest SVC competitor would change significantly to where 40 to 50 mile away trips would be the norm for away league play. Not that big to football but for the teams that play on weekdays it does become a big deal.

Also financial factors need to be taken into consideration, The SVC polls some nice gates. Could the new league promise an increase in those gate revenues to cover the increase in costs?
Would the new league be willing to compensate Unioto for any loss of gate revenue?

Unioto will be / has been approached about joining the other 6 teams for a big svc division. If th do so decline then the other schools will start a brand new conference and seek to add a few teams.

It is Unioto right to decline this offer .
That is what's happening now . Nothing more nothing less

Increase in gates, are you kidding? These are larger districts with larger fan bases. Heck, just hosting Jackson or Chillicothe and one other team in football would bring in close to what they do for an entire season now.

It is just my opinion but I think Unioto would be well served to join a league of like sized schools.

On another thread you said this was all but a done deal.

LOL...fair enough!

[Poo Bear]

I do think my above post is accurate . And I would say Unioto will stay with svc .

[Poo Bear]

My most recent source says that the svc had declined the offer for expansion. I would say the 6 teams will look to add 1-2 teams and then proceed to draft a league constitution this summer .

HAHA!!

As I thought, just a bunch of talk. I am not surprised.

This article is just waste of space in the Gazette now I guess

This is a talk forum. What do expect to happen on here ? Speculations and opinions

[Bigdog]

I meant the people that were talking, not the postings on bulletin boards.

[sibibis45]

I thought Dave Shoemaker's opinion in the Gazette was well thought out and very doable. Come on powers to be let's get it done.

Im glad the svc isnt changing. It is a stable league that doesn't need fixed. Why mess with it?
