NEO Conference Realignment

I think the only way Brush joins the WRC is if Mentor and other bigger schools are gone. Lyndhurst is a growing city, but trying to keep families in Lyndhurst is its own problem. South Euclid on the other hand is a lot bigger population wise, but is kind of stagnant growth wise. Brush enrollment is now down to about around 1000 from about 1600 in 2018. I don't think they would be very interested in being a small fish in a big pond.
I agree, I was thinking of a GCC more along the lines with Heights, Shaker, Euclid, Brush, Bedford, Lorain and etc. I don’t see them wanting to try and take on Mentor, Brunswick and Strongsville in all sports.

I think the WRC that @BlackandGold proposed would be a solid league. Great rivalries, and schools who would be great competitive fits with each other.
 
Or Parma goes to 1 school, they still blow and remain. That conference adds Bedford. Or they add Bedford and Maple types and movement ends

I was told the WRC and LEL would both be around forever and the GCC was dead. Then both of those leagues died and the GCC is still at 8...

Gets a little tiresome to see guys (especially from SW Ohio) playing fantasy league makers constantly on here. Focus on schools you know and the actual sports..🤣
GCC has added Lorain, Heights and Shaker in the past 3 years. LEL 2.0 transformation is literally already happening whether you like it or not. It's also not about Parma being good or not because every administration is obsessed with enrollment numbers. And lastly what "actual sports" would like us to focus on May 20th lol

😂😂😂 the GCC is legit the LEL 2.0 and I know you hate it. Please don’t lose sleep over my fantasy leagues and if they bother you so much please put me on ignore:) thanks and have a good day!!

Shaker was literally an original GCC school

Lorain is much like elyria who was another original GCC school ..

Sure id like to have kept Solon and Medina but Riverside and Heights are solid replacements

All leagues add and subtract schools. The SWC added Elyria. The suburban just added 3 schools after losing 3. Leagues have movement plenty of times. Yet some of you act like the GCC is the only league that have to get replacements. It's funny

Some of you guys told me years ago the wrc and Lel were extremely stable. Both died.

If every league solely cared about enrollment, Berea would be in the GCC by now . Of course if Parma sucks they won't be in a hurry to boot them out

Doesn't bother me that you are constantly on here making up fantasy leagues and threads with 100 character titles with generalized topics to get engagement . I just laugh . You don't know anything about the schools here

No one is acting like league movement is rare. We are literally just throwing out hypothesis. It's also literally an open secret what Strongsville and Brunswick want to do. The GCC wasn't Riverside first choice either. The GCC just doesn't seem fit to last as is. Simple. Lastly whoever the hell said the LEL was stable needs to share what dispensary they shop at. Bedford been looking for any other league for a decade

Well it sure does bother you if you bring it up…. Ignore me buddy. I bet people on here rather read my posts and fantasy leagues then your rants and tantrums when someone disagrees with you😂 (also my posts bring great discussion, you should join sometime!!!😏)

I actually do know quite a bit about the school systems up here now. It’s not rocket science to figure out

Mentor wouldn't pick these other 7 as their ideal 8 either. Cant always get what you want..

Still a solid league overall though right now. They've replaced 3 members from the original 8 so it's hardly lel 2.0 right now. The LEL had a bunch of smaller schools that contributed literally nothing. This league still has plenty of solid d1-d2 schools

Laughing at stupidity doesn't mean it's really bothersome. The spam engagement topics are funny to see. As if a third grader wrote them

Should ask favorite colors or animal mascots or seat types next..🤣

I'll ignore you if I choose. Right now it's giving some laughs

Sheesh if you’re gonna stalk my threads at least comment on them. Calling me stupid on there at least gives me more engagement! Calling me stupid and a 3rd grader here doesn’t do anything for my engagement :(

If anyone is bothered, it's you. Just ignore it if you don't care! 🤣

It's hard to miss 100 character thread titles that take up 4-5 lines. As I said, favorite colors or best animal mascot could be next

Nope I’m not bothered that some random dude on the internet doesn’t like my posts and thinks I’m a dumb 3rd grader. I just wish you would call me dumb on my threads instead!! You know… engagement 😉

Someone already did a mascot thread… I unfortunately can’t do that one. Darn!! You got any other ideas?

Yet you keep replying.. you obviously care

I'm sure you'll come up with some more on your own
 
You missed the memo… the GCC is the LEL 2.0. It’s just taken a new form. It just needs more time to infect it. It already has 5 former LEL members.

LEL will be missed tho. Great league in its prime
Let me explain this to a dolt like you slowly.

Mentor , Euclid and Shaker were in the original GCC.

Strongsville and Brunswick too

Riverside was never in the LEL

They've taken two former LEL schools. The biggest two....

It's not like that old LEL with smaller schools like Shaw, Bedford, Maple, Warrensville Hts, 3 Parma schools, 2 smaller Lorains etc along with some bigger schools in the mold of Lakewood ...

Lorain is much like Elyria who was also a former LEL school and is near them geographically too

Nothing like the old LEL that Mentor left

And if Strongsville and Brunswick leave sometime in the future and others want that junk back, Mentor won't be there for it either

Fair. Definitely still solid and I think this will be status quo for at least the next 3-5 years at the bare minimum. I don't see the scenario I'm talking about taking place for a while
 
I’m sure Strongsville and Brunswick would join the SWC if they could, but they can’t. Nobody is being forced out and it doesn’t appear anyone is looking to leave.
Yeah, I don’t think they will be joining the SWC soon either. They do need someone to leave the league. And there is nothing to indicate that Amherst and Midview are unhappy and looking to leave. So it’s all just what ifs now. But with a lot of the SWC communities growing, I think Brunswick and Strongsville would be great fits in the league. I think earlier in this thread someone posted a tweet saying that the two schools at one point had the votes to join.. looks like they missed their chance for now.

Dang…. Finding new ways to call me stupid 😂 but you aren’t bothered??? Yeah. Okay. Thanks for the explanation on something I already knew.. they all still were in the LEL and it’s legit turning into the LEL 2.0 lol. But, if you want to insult me please do it in PM, let’s save the thread for people who actually wanna contribute meaningful conversation and not insult people because they disagree with you and not insult communities because of their socioeconomic status and call them “junk”. That’s just absolutely pathetic, no excuse. There are better things to discuss than that, and getting upset over anyone talking about realignment on a REALIGNMENT THREAD is wild. Do better.

At least you can recognize that adding the 2 biggest schools from the lel isn't the same as adding all the smaller lel schools like before

Mentor advocated for Shaker getting into the NOC before the GCC formed. Euclid and Heights were the 2 in it for the initial 8th spot. Those schools weren't the problem in the lel for us. The other schools were and left us playing 3-4 conference games instead of the ideal 7

For the longest time The original LEL worked and was very stable. My older brother went to Bedford. The LEL at the peak of its powers was a phenomenal basketball league. My brothers sophomore year Bedford and Warrensville played for state titles. Bedford vs Warrensville/Shaw used to be standing room only. You could barely hear yourself think in Warrensville small gym because it was so loud in there. RIP to the LEL 😔

Even as of recently the league was still strong in basketball. The LEL will be missed :( in it’s prime there wasn’t many better basketball conferences in the state. I hope these schools still play each other in non-con games, and for their student-athletes sakes I hope they all figure out their next moves.

Yep league had a mini Renaissance on the hoops side from about 2016-2020. I have hope for a good number of now former LEL programs though so that's good. Maple football, Warrensville/Bedford basketball, obviously Garfield in hoops but the have hope with Stephens as HC for football now too. Shaw is in rough shape though man it's sad
 
The Suburban League could also be another future option for Brunswick and Strongsville.

IMO, the American Division is not built for longevity. The trip from Mayfield to Barberton is a long one.

Agree, I think in the next couple of years, you will see Copley, Revere, and Barberton leave the Suburban American division and Nordonia, Brecksville, and Twinsburg moving down to the American division with Medina, Brunswick, Strongsville, Wadsworth, Highland, North Royalton, Hudson, and Stow making up the National division.

Math doesn't work on that. Brecksville and Twinsburg are already in the American from what I understand

American

Kenston
Mayfield
Brecksville
Twinsburg
Revere
Copley
Barberton
Aurora

National

Medina
Solon
North Royalton
Nordonia
Stow
Hudson
Medina highland
Wadsworth


Throw Nordonia down and you'd have 9 in the national and 6 in the American . You'd need another school

Can always add Mentor to the national and dip Highland and North Royalton along with Nordonia to the American 😁

Brecksville and Twinsburg are on a sport by sport basis in the American. They both are not in the American for each sport.
