Why do you feel Ross is not a good fit?You see it in this thread. People criticizing Huron for wanting nothing to do with the Lake, Willard and Margaretta for wanting to be in the River. Yet they actively ducked and continue to duck letting Fremont in.
To be fair, Fremont isn't a good fit, and that's fine. But it can't go both ways. Either sack up if you expect the smaller schools to do the same, or let them do their thing down there.
Why do you feel Ross is not a good fit?
Not yet, son. But, I loved the responseBecause they are proud members of the NLL.

Believe it or not, it was much worse with Tiffin in relation to others in NOL when OSHAA went to Divisions, 1980Just the size. It's not everything, being almost 150% bigger than the next biggest school is hard to justify. Same reason I wouldn't see Huron with the Lake and why it kind of IS ridiculous Willard can only compete in the River.
But I guess I'll put it this way: it's not so much they don't fit. I just feel the NLL is a better fit.

Arcadia / Vanlue need to join the league with HN and USV. McComb/ Arlington/ PG should join the NWC.Perhaps not that much trouble. CR is leaving totally, and NB is dropping out of the football portion of the league. Yes, Arcadia is not great, and Vanlue is terrible (but really how more years can they play?)
Soon it will be:
LB and Elmwood D5
Riverdale and VB D6
McComb, Arlington, PG, Arcadia, Vanlue D7
Definitely some dead weight at the bottom, but really where would those school play and actually be competitive?
Arcadia yes. Vanlue needs 8 man.Arcadia / Vanlue need to join the league with HN and USV.
No reason for that. Losing Arcadia and Vanlue would leave a pretty good 7 team league who could probably find 1 more.McComb/ Arlington/ PG should join the NWC.
because of covid i thoughtThe SBC wrestling tournament is an absolute meat grinder for the River teams. Hell it's a meatgrinder for all of the teams. I think they split off last year.
Honestly they don't really have enough kids for 8 man and enrollment is only going lower. Need to focus on golf and/or cross country in fall.Vanlue needs 8 man.
But what are the parents supposed to do on Friday nights during the football season as some of them were saying on Facebook before the season started.Honestly they don't really have enough kids for 8 man and enrollment is only going lower. Need to focus on golf and/or cross country in fall.
Family time with the kids? I know...it's crazy.But what are the parents supposed to do on Friday nights during the football season as some of them were saying on Facebook before the season started.

It’s because of those darn kids who don’t play football that we won’t have Vanlue schools anymore.But, but! The school! The band! The cheerleaders! What will they all do?
Don't forget about raising money for senior trip.But, but! The school! The band! The cheerleaders! What will they all do?
Problem is NWCC is courting Riverdale. Now can 6 survive with having to schedule 4 non-league games.Arcadia yes. Vanlue needs 8 man.
No reason for that. Losing Arcadia and Vanlue would leave a pretty good 7 team league who could probably find 1 more.
Replace with Lepisic, Columbus Grove, Ada, and Allen East or Patrick HenryProblem is NWCC is courting Riverdale. Now can 6 survive with having to schedule 4 non-league games.
Hey man, the Ryder Cup is awesome entertainment. Definitely would pump up the interest in golf if they had student sections/bands/cheerleaders out there ?I wanna see a band and cheerleaders at a golf match.
Here's your chance Vanlue!
I think it's going to be the other way around. Remaining BVC teams do like Leipsic and join the NWC.Replace with Lepisic, Columbus Grove, Ada, and Allen East or Patrick Henry

Plausible tooI think it's going to be the other way around. Remaining BVC teams do like Leipsic and join the NWC.
Leipsic just left the league because they saw the unstable future, Grove, Ada, Allen East, and Bluffton have all been invited several times through the years to the BVC and never gave it a second thought, and PH won't leave the NWOAL as long as they're competitiveReplace with Lepisic, Columbus Grove, Ada, and Allen East or Patrick Henry
All of these statements in bold are incorrect.Leipsic just left the league because they saw the unstable future, Grove, Ada, Allen East, and Bluffton have all been invited several times through the years to the BVC and never gave it a second thought, and PH won't leave the NWOAL as long as they're competitive
How are they incorrect?All of these statements in bold are incorrect.
Those schools weren't invited several times. There are some schools on your list that absolutely gave it a second thought. And PH was (is?) in exploratory talks in regards to their conference affiliation.How are they incorrect?
PH was in exploratory talks because Swanton, Delta, and Evergreen were talking about leaving the NWOAL and Bryan and Wauseon were rumored to the 16 team NLL. At the least, rumors had the NWOAL adding Napoleon, maybe Defiance, and potentially a school as big as Bowling Green to replace the 3 that left, and the whole conference very well could have just died off. PH HAD to have talks to leave for their own survival. But it was nothing they ever seriously considered once the NWOAL stayed together. They're going nowhere as long as the current 8 team format there is in place.Those schools weren't invited several times. There are some schools on your list that absolutely gave it a second thought. And PH was (is?) in exploratory talks in regards to their conference afaffiliation.
