    They will still have MSML or Ada or Moggy to crush them.

    What the hell?!?! What have I been embracing all this time?!?! I thought the votes were there?!?!?!

    I'll do some embracing in the event I'm wrong and they do have the votes. :)

    What? I've been embracing the change and the votes may not be there?
  • Viking
    The votes are there. Does anybody want to make a friendly wager?

    We're all too busy embracing stuff to engage in gambling.

    My wife walked in on me "embracing the change"...so I'm sleeping on the couch tonight.

    I'll bet you that the schools that did all the whining and brought about this rule will still not be able to win a state title.

    You miss the whole point of the proposal. The proposal is a recognition of the vast inequities that exist in the current system. The proposal is only going to give many rural and urban schools a greater opportunity to be successful.

    Only because those ruran and urban schools won't have to face other rural and urban schools who work harder than they do.

    DSJ has been villified in discussions and articles on this proposal because of our win over Shadyside. If anyone thinks that if this rule had been in place this year and put DSJ in Div V that Shadyside would have won a state title, they are out of their mind. And if it did allow Shadyside to win a state title, how sad.

    Nothing wrong with Shadyside winning a state title by not having to play the best.

    As long as the trophy is shaped like a juice box.

    Will somebody please explain to me how this proposal will negatively effect privte schools? Since there isn't an automatic multiplier schools like Lutheran East will be left alone or perhaps even drop a division.

    There hasn't been a specific formula released so we have no idea which division any school will end up in.

    But wait I thought that you were aware of the changes viking and had embraced them?

    The OHSAA commissioner was on a local radio sports talk show last week. According to what he said, there will be automatic multipliers although we don't know what those exact numbers are yet. In the Geographical Boundaries category you have: unboundaried private schools, boundaried private schools, statewide open enrollment publics, adjacent OE publics and non-OE publics. Each of these will have a multiplier and I'd be willing to bet the highest starts with unboundaried private schools. All school will have a multiplier although the lowest will likely be 1. Unless I totally misunderstood him I believe this to be the case.

    How is it going to give rural and urban schools with open-enrollment and that are on the higher end numbers wise of their division now a greater chance to succeed? They'll be moving up to. The whole thing is stupid. How in the world did little Hardin Northern ever beat 3 private schools (Cincy Country Day, Springfield Catholic, Norwalk St. Paul) in 2004 to win a title?

    It depends what type of open enrollment the district has. There are 3 different categories for the open enrollment part of the equation, plus the "free lunch" factor will act as a divider.

    because no one receiving free lunches can be a good football player :) That might be the dumbest part of the proposal. The NFL is full of guys who have come from extremely poor backgrounds.

    Poverty adveresly affects the number of kids available. I'd explain it, but I can tell that you don't really care. You obviously don't have a clue about urban districts or poor rural districts.

    Question for you Viking...

    My dad said that if I keep embracing the change, I'm going to go blind. Is that true?

    Then you have no clue about Hardin Northern. That year they barely had 25 players on the roster some of them being freshmen.

    A count is done to determine the number of kids available. If an urban school has less kids, they would be placed into a lower division.
