Other ADs aren't concerned that schools in the SW burbs may have to travel to St. Louis 4x a year.They better use google maps down to the tenth of a mile, otherwise the sh!t will hit the fan. I can’t see the Plainfield’s and Metro East schools being happy with the travel. Kiss goodbye to Friday night football with 4-5 hour travel times! Ant that’s with no accidents, construction zones or weather problems.
There was good reason the IHSA did not post a sample of what the divisions would look like. I still do not trust them.
Think about a good team stuck in a division with several superior teams. They go out and schedule two quality opponents for week one and two. They finish 5-4 but no playoff berth. Under the present system they would have more than enough playoff points. Maybe more than 7-2 teams in a weak division.
CPS may opt out with all of their non-competitive divisions.
