Mentor left the LEL for better competition and more communities that are similar to us. We clearly wanted a better conference across all sports regardless of travelReally, it doesn't matter what either of us think. But, has of December 9th, 2024 Brunswick is still a member of this conference and gets a say in who can join and I can still urge them to vote no to Riverside.
Nobody twisted Mentor's arm to leave the LEL. You chose to join the NOC and we all got lumped into the GCC when the NOC fell apart because SL and SWC didn't want the 4 westside schools at the time.
We aren't going back to the LEL again. We'd go independent before joining what is left of it
Mentor actually owned the GCC name and was the leader in forming it when the NOC fell apart.
The SL and SWC still don't want Strongsville and Brunswick. So you're stuck despite clearly wanting to leave
Yes you two both have votes. 2. The other 5 have votes too. 5.
I'm betting if Riverside applies that it would be a unanimous 7 votes saying yes. It only makes sense for scheduling and they fit the conference
Strongsville played Mentor for years in many sports out of conference before the NOC. I doubt their AD cares about a few trips like that
But again, they'll do what they want. I don't control it. I'll live with whatever happens and go to games Mentor plays in. Strongsville we have history with
Brunswick ... I mean I live close ish to the school and they have good facilities and basketball. Can't say Id miss them in football as they aren't a rival and have only beaten us once with a record of 1-16 or 1-17 I believe.
But yeah I want them in a conference with us. If they leave sometime, so be it. We will move on and be fine
