Duh. I just looked at enrollment numbers and I didn't realize that all of the "smaller" members of the SWC are still quite a bit bigger than River and Bay.

Can you expand on the relationship between Bay/River and the SWC? It seems to me that these schools are great academic, demographic, and geographic fits with the other SWC schools. Is there some...

Some CVC schools want to see Aurora and Kenston move elsewhere? How long has this been going on? Regardless, those schools would seem to fit well (though would be the smallest members) in a league...

It also puts Benedictine in an odd position. Although it's technically a medium-sized school in a huge urban school district, the vast majority of students are from the suburbs. This is where...

This is an interesting proposal, but I'm curious how you would objectively determine that these teams are heavily consisting of players from outside of that school's normal "community"? I agree that...

My thoughts exactly. In a time when school district budgets are tightening, perhaps it's time to divorce the concept of athletics from education. Let academic institutions focus on academics, and...

Does the NCL officially award a trophy for lacrosse? I have my doubts based simply on the fact that lacrosse is one of those oddball sports (not sanctioned by the OHSAA, either) that has its own...

Mentor has been a powerhouse for a while now, you sell yourself short when you think that you needed a title to prove it. (Though the title is a nice cherry on top.)
