BVC will now explore expansion - Page 3

strykerblue · (#41)

From another site BVP people saying 5 schools are going to present to BVC administrators on April 19....Hopewell Loudon, Calvert, NB, Ada and Riverdale....yes that same Riverdale that supposedly did not send a letter back?? I know they said they would join N10 but if they are accepted into BVC maybe that changes all that. What the BVC does after 19th could be very interesting. Most thought Riverdale and Carey were BVC's top choices so if they choose to expand at all Riverdale could be one of top choices. My guess is BVC takes two it will be Riverdale and HL. Any other guesses on 2 or 4 teams or will they stand still.

email statement from BVC President Pandora-Gilboa Principal, Jeff Wise to the Senior Reports

The Blanchard Valley Conference is continuing to explore possible expansion. We have set a meeting date for April 19th to meet with possible candidate schools, and we anticipate making a final decision on conference expansion by the end of May.

also we had some other questions answered, but will not be posting that information at this time

Absolutely looking to add 4 schools. Riverdale, H-L were two targets for sure. NB is a serious consideration to appease the lower level schools in the BVC. Needed one other school for the plan to work and Ada looks to be that school.

just saw on Sr Reports...

BVC Expansion: Four schools set to make pitch to BVC

Potential expansion of the Blanchard Valley Conference will be on the agenda Thursday as the league's administrators meet with prospective schools.

Ada, North Baltimore, Hopewell-Loudon and Tiffin Calvert will be the attending the meeting at the Hancock County Educational Service Center.

Riverdale rumors not true I guess...some of their folks may be mad if BVC expands and they passed on the chance....they seem to be all in to the N10 at this point....MAL teams have to be nervous as that league is done if 2 or 3 of their members are accepted into BVC

radiodavel has a statement on his site from BVC ...moving forward

I think that Carey made a mistake joining the N10 even though the MAL grows weaker each season (was very strong until 6-8 years ago) the BVC would be a much better choice with good potential rivalries with Arlington, McComb, VB, and LB. (in addition to Riverdale if they would join)Unless Carey can keep Upper Sandusky (big revenue game) as a nonleague opponent the N10 move makes no sense. Only Wynford is a consistantly strong football program in that group,(and let's face it Carey's move is to make them more playoff ready and I think with the declining numbers in the Catholic schools they thought the MAL was becoming less stable). I know Buckeye Central did well this year but just like the original NCC they only every few years have a real good team. There would be only 2 big rivalry games (Wynford and Mohawk unless Riverdale can get back to where they used to be) and the rest ho-hum games. Upper Sandusky should have been in the new League and Carey and Mohawk should have insisted on that just like Wynford (the driving force behind the N10) did for Bucyrus. The only real negative for Carey joining the BVC would be the loss of 2 huge revenue games (Mohawk and Upper Sandusky) Carey it appears will not be considering the BVC and for me personally that is both a mistake and a disappointment.

Wynford BC and Carey were behind this new league so they were not going to go any place else.

[quote=scutch;5301569]Wynford BC and Carey were behind this new league so they were not going to go any place else.[/QUOTE) If that is true then why didn't Mohawk and Carey push to get Upper Sandusky in the N10 instead of for instance Ridgedale? Both play Upper in most sports and US would not dominate the N10 even though they are a larger school. I heard that Mohawk voted no on Upper (which is a mystery if true) and that Bucyrus blackmailed Wynford into helping them be accepted. I just hope that US doesn't stop playing Carey in non-League games.

Upper was one of the reasons the NCC blew up in the first place...

Why?

Why Riverdale Selected the N10 Over the BVC - from radiodavel's site..

Looks like they went for the "sure thing", hard to blame them in this world of constant conference changes...

strykerblue · (#54)

From another site...most feel BVC does not have the votes for expansion as they need 8 of 10...now rumors that Liberty Benton will lead the charge to bolt with 3 other biggest schools in league and form a new league with some other area schools if expansion fails in BVC...vote is later this month, not sure when exactly. Sounds like another NCC story may be brewing here.

Look for LB to switch with ADA was told if LB was 2 divisons bigger than the other teams in BVC they have to go.

^^^^^^^
You were told incorrectly. There is no such stipulation in the BVC bylaws.
