I predict that this perspective will change. D1 will become of less interest to an increasing number of fans, as it will be seen as the province of school which don't quite "fit in" with the rest of...

1. Your premise is quite possibly incorrect. There's no assurance that Massillon and McKinley will be in the "NEO" region.
2. Who are these "R5 superpowers" of which you speak?

It's always harder to quantify things that didn't happen, but it stands to reason that the loss of a year's eligibility would be a deterrent.


There is considerable debate as to whether such...

I have yet to hear a compelling argument for transfer restrictions.

Would unfettered transfers be "abused" by some small number of families who go school hopping between sports seasons? Probably. ...

Bingo.

There was a study done on this some numbers of years ago. For the majority of districts in the state, the previous year's 10-12 numbers are a better predictor than the previous year's...

It should be clear from the phrasing ("would you be outraged") that the question wasn't directed to your interpretation of the law.

There's another reason that the "home district" concept is flawed: it treats competing schools differently. Consider Canton Central Catholic. They're a D4 school in a D1 district. Compare that...

Look at the flip side. Say Massillon chooses to play D1 and falls short. Will folks be wondering if they were better than the D2 champ?

And there's a reason that they're dropping to D2.

When Massillon was in the title games in 1980 and 1982, they were 70% larger than they are today. They were 16% larger in 2005. McKinley's...

Who makes the determination of who can compete? It's one thing to suggest that a team may choose to move up a division; it's quite another to force a team to move up, particularly if its done on the...
