If you’ve listened to the Viking Redzone Report that Lugs and I do for VC and the TVC Ohio, you already know that I felt like the TVC was it’s greatest when it had 6 Ohio teams and 6 hocking teams. 5 non conference games to schedule up or down, depending on the strength of your program. You had the flexibility to schedule out of conference rivals or travel far and wide, if that was your prerogative. Key word. Flexibility. Something the TVC doesn’t have much of right now. Especially the hocking. Trying to fill late non conference games is a struggle. Driving 2 plus hours just to have 10 games, shouldn’t be the norm. So my proposition is this. A 3 division (I know, I know, I said it) SIX team format. Aaaaaand this is where most of you click away. Stick with me. Based off of (mostly) school size, I feel my format is just what the doctor ordered. Now, some may be asking, 6 times 3 is 18. We only have 16 schools?? This is where the TVC would have to sell their pitch. Just like I’m doing right now! So, without further ado. I give you the, “new” and improved TVC and all it’s divisions! Plus, something no one else has done, to my knowledge, when spewing out their opinions that carry no real weight. I have schedules! Enjoy, and please, don’t tear me down too hard.

There you have it. The format. Imo, about as close to perfect as you can get. 12 of the 16 current schools would need to vote yes for this to work. By my calculations, 11 would be better off, 3 would be “ehh” about the same and a couple would probably see more negatives than positives. I really feel like this is a pitch that “could” happen, given someone actually made a push for it. So, with that out of the way, here are your made up schedules, which include rivalry games, limited travel for non conference games AND, what Athens schedule SHOULD look like. Lol

So there you have it. My answer to the “oddity” that is the TVC. Please, let me know what you think. After all, this is for your entertainment/enjoyment! Who knows, maybe one day, it will be your reality! Also, if anyone from the TVC is reading and is looking for a commissioner, pm me.
