Getting rid of CVCA did not make sense for the strength of the league. This is not about the senseless whims of the league members who are afraid of competition. Adding CCC makes competitive sense. Adding Mogadore makes competitive sense. Because some schools are afraid of competition does not change that.
Stitz- this, for me, is the best/ most accurate post you’ve ever made. Until the participants of The Blue Cup hit puberty & their boy parts drop, the PAC is very likely to vote scared on who they let in.
Always weird the large teams in the conference want to talk down to the small programs. The EBC is looking to add members, why doesn't Northwest go join back in with their old pals and get the boost in competition they want? Remember, these small schools are the same ones that just voted in the current largest member of the conference less than two years ago. It's not insane that the public D5-D6 portion of the conference with under 500 students in their building would want to add someone of a similar makeup to their conference, it's about more than just football
I'm not affiliated with any schools in the conference. Friends with lots of folks who work in league schools though. My point was that Fairless led the charge to get CVCA out of the conference & Tuslaw, well we all saw how Tuslaw admin felt about competition in dropping the Dalton game.
CVCA has two more full seasons in the PAC.
Metro not kicking anyone out - they're looking to expand the league
Hmm....do they play this before or after Ring of Fire?
Not wanting to affiliate with private schools does not equal scared of competition.
No, but dropping Dalton sure sounds like being scared of competition. And telling CVCA "you guys are good in every sport" & "you keep winning the all sports trophy" does as well.
Something on which I can agree with you! I've been in the minority, but I've advocated for years for adding Canton Central Catholic to the PAC. I've also recently thought it would make a lot of sense to add Mogadore, if that opportunity presented itself. League strength would automatically improve with the addition of either or both schools.
For me CCC is the answer. I know they’re private but the “you’re getting too big” issue some have w/ CVCA is not a concern w/ CCC (The campus limits that). They also likely be the smallest school in the league on a regular basis so that could diminish the big bad parochial school spectre
I like Orrville fans out of control like Mo at The Barn buffet. Just let Orrville be Orrville. I love that little town.
There is meeting of Portage County schools in several weeks about expansion with schools from another conference.
Crap! I’m early.
I can definitely see that happening!

That is cool!Fairless' Luke Yoder has 99-yard touchdown catch in Blue-Grey All-American Bowl
Luke Yoder's 99-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter helped the North pull away to a 42-26 win at the Blue-Grey All-American Bowl.
Very valid questions. It will be interesting to see how this all works out.
