CS8 Playoffs Thread - Semi-Final Week - It's all about the U, baby!

There's also this proposal submitted by Williamsville on behalf of the Sangamo Conference --

Summary of Proposed Changes: Removes the 1.65 multiplier and the multiplier waiver for all schools. Replaced with enrollments of non-boundary schools to be the average enrollment of all public/boundaried high schools that are above that school’s enrollment and within a 30-mile radius of the school.• In three (3) class sports, non-boundaried schools will not move more than one class higher than their multiplied enrollment from the previous enrollment cycle.• In sports of four classes or more, non-boundaried schools will not move more than two classes higher than their multiplied enrollment from the previous enrollment cycle.• The multiplied enrollment (1.65) will only be used to determine the initial placement in the 2024-2025 school year.

Something similar was submitted last year but I don't know if it was voted on or withdrawn. I also have no clue as to whether it would have a shot at passing.

This nonsense of complicating the boundaried schools vs the multiplier vs who has the higher McDonald's to Dairy Queen ratio in each town is getting out of hand.

U-Hugh’s AD and staff are expecting game attendance to be anywhere from 5,000-6,000 people tonight. This would make it by far the most attended game in the school’s history. ISU is also opening the half of the stadium that’s usually closed off for U-Hugh’s game, in anticipation of the huge turnout.

Heartbreaking end to an incredible season. Shame it ended the way it did with the interception, but still an amazing season for the pioneers.

Mt. Zion would make a great addition to the CS8. Along with a returning Taylorville, they would make school #s 13 and 14 in the CS8 once the Apollo inevitably folds. Charleston, Mattoon and Mahomet could go to the B12 which leaves only Effingham needing to find a home.

14 teams in the CS8 could easily be handled given the East-West split. C-G could slide to the West division to accommodate MTZ and T'ville.
