Tried and true
Wonder why I said “nah” about the BVC going to an 8-game league schedule similar to what the Midwest Athletic Conference has proposed?
Because as much as I like the BVC, there’s a great group of ADs, principals and supers running the show for the most part, the conference is slower than even most to embrace any kind of change.
Like it or not, this is conservative country and change comes slow in Hancock County even with regards to athletics.
Who is the schools in NW Ohio to embrace girls fastpitch softball? The BVC.
What area conference doesn’t give the girls even one Friday night to play their league basketball games on? The BVC.
Who likes doing things the old fashioned way? The BVC.
I think it would be a good idea for the league but it would necessitate a lot of planning and extra work. In the end I think most of the league would rather stick with the tried and true and not try something different.
That’s just my 2 cents.

Not sure where you are going on this one. It makes no sense to play girls games on Friday. I know this is merely a political issue. Check with the schools who play conference games on Friday and see what their crowds are like compared to when the boys played every Friday, that's not ever mentioned because it's not PC.
Not sure what a 8 game conference schedule would accomplish. Surely there would be a year where the top two teams would "miss" each other. Look at the Big Ten this year, wouldn't it have been good to see Wisconsin and Ohio State play? Maybe even at Wisconsin?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Thanks for something other than "nah". Maybe if you went after this with the same gusto you showed with the proposed division changes you could sway opinions.
As coachB pointed out, things change slowly around here. That includes conference standings. lol
