I can’t, they should also have their own playoff system with the other private schools.Change my mind!

Stated that before also. 2 private divisions, big and small.
This is all fun and games until Lutheran west and Villa Angela-St. Joseph are division 1.
If the playoff format stays the same then all but 8 total teams will miss the playoffs and now St. Edward is playing Hawken in the first round
That’s a fair point. I’d like to point out that would only be 20 some teams in the top division.They'd obviously be small division. Nothing says each division HAS to have same number of teams. That's half the reason we're in the mess we're already in especially the lower division crybabies. If I were king the big school division would be D1, D2 and maybe half of D3. However many teams that is so be it.
I could maybe see something like this working in the Summit/Mahoning/Stark area:
Walsh - 376 - DII
Hoban- 324 - DII
SVSM - 244 - DIII
CVCA - 207 - DIV
Ursaline - 183 - DIV
Mooney - 149 - DIV
CCC - 133 - DV
CCC competes with a number of Federal League teams, so "playing up" probably wouldn't be much of a roadblock for them. They play most of these schools occasionally as it is. They sometimes have issues with finding opponents, regularly having to bring in a team from Canada to fill out their schedule. A league would help with that problem with Perry and St. Thomas also locked in annually.
That's just not true. The league leaves open 4 non-league weeks, plenty to get in those harbin cow games. And replacing the weak public school and out-of-state games with these schools seems like a gain.
Always on your mind !!!!Take STV out , and let Massillon join....WAR LASALLE
Shows your football knowledge here. WJ is 3-27 the last three seasons and have been arse beaten by St. V. each time.Take STV out , and let Massillon join....WAR LASALLE
Even Walsh can't remember the last time they won a game. Why would they want any part of that league?
I think that's a great idea. The only fair way to do it. Even where Open enrollment school's push the envelope with players coming in they still cannot consistently compete with the Pinocchio's. We're talking a few quality player's compared to a hand picked and voucher paid team. Perfect example, Mentor. A great established program but unable to overcome a private picked talent laden roster.Stated that before also. 2 private divisions, big and small. 5 public divisions. (Or actually 4 would be fine w/ me). As far as this specific league - not the best idea imo but worth discussion.
Don’t forget Elder, no need for Princeton they haven’t done anything in years and aren’t a private.What about Cincinnati Moeller, St.X, Lasalle, Hoban, St Ed, Iggy, Cincinnati Princeton in a league for football
Don’t forget Elder, no need for Princeton they haven’t done anything in years and aren’t a private.
B/c they can at least be competitive vs bad teams with a chance to win. Your program is dead (ie: no ones comes out to play anymore) if you're getting beat 70-0 every week.If they’re that bad why would it matter?
Boys OHSAA numbers:
Ignatius- 1163
Ed's- 722
Walsh- 376
SVSM- 244
That's a huge difference.
I rememeber the ICC (Inter County Conference) of the early 80's- SVSM, Walsh, CCC and St. Thomas.
Those numbers do not matter. They all recruit, they all cheat...let them play each other and then they can stop whining about "Nobody will play us".
