2A Moving to Split-Conference Alignment

Ideally, it looks good on paper.  The big schools play the big schools, etc. Logistically, it will be a nightmare across the state.  Travel times for many 2A schools are already pretty lengthy.  Sub-varsity teams will be affected the most.  The question that will be posed is:  Are the games going to start at the same times and students get out of class earlier, or are games going to be scheduled later in the evening and get home even later.  We'll see when next year's football season rolls around how it going to work out.  Looks like we'll have plenty of mad mothers to come on this site and bash the coaches for what they do.

As soon as the first years Fuel ticket hits... this will come back up for discussion.... someone on the school board will deam the $$$ can be better spent else where... and you know he/she will be correct.... I think it should be an option to stay in the district your in or move over to a smaller school district... might not work... but atleast the smaller communities won't have to pay the higher fuel bill on travel....

Do we know if/ when 3A and 4A will vote on this?? Thought 3A was already suppose to have done so???

I hope 3A votes it down. This is a terrible idea. With the way the economy is and how school districts have to really pinch pennies these days, they don't need extra costs on travel expenses. Some school districts are having it tough already with the schedules they have.

People will not care about the cost.  They just want a chance to win.  School with 210 cant compete with school of 430. Same in 3a with schools of 440 competing with schools of 900. It will pass.

I agree that they don't care about the cost, but the part about can't compete is a copout. If you want to win you have to build a program. To build a program go get a good quality coach and give him time and support to build from within. Upgrade facilities to have something to build with. Community support through thick and thin plays a big part in winning programs. Wanting a chance to win and doing something about a chance to win are two different things.
