Using the argument of scrimmages doesn’t hold up. No way.
I do agree that I could see Chardon or Kenston being willing to schedule Solon now. Kenston was in the old WRC with Solon back when the Comets were actually really good. And they have scheduled non-conference with Solon since leaving the league. Mayfield wouldn’t have issue with Solon in football. South did schedule the Comets for a two game series in 2013/14.
Madison and North would not want Solon in the league. Especially not Madison. You’re the Riverside guy, what would they say?
But are all of these schools willing to take a risk that Solon will stay down?
If ANY of the schools in the WRC did not want a competitive schedule, they wouldn’t be playing football in the WRC. Hence, a big reason Brush is leaving. So, I really
don’t have to argue anything. WRC coaches have been quoted in The News-Herald as saying “anyone, anywhere” during regular season and playoffs this year.
From what I’ve read in local sources, the “east” schools have very little input in deciding WRC membership. That is why Lakeside was left out in 2015. I’ve actually already posted this earlier in the thread. Mayfield, North, and South will have the most say of what school is added. And, the WRC will be targeting a rival for Mayfield. The rest of the league will go along with it to keep the league together. If Solon can prove a drastic drop in enrollment forthcoming, they will be in serious consideration.
