More TVC Discussion

[Dundas]

Marietta has been making a big pitch to the TVC teams over the last couple months. I know they contacted Athens and NY. They also showed up at Vinton County and had a meeting. The next TVC meeting is this month. I’d imagine there will be a vote on Marietta then.

Being in the TVC would give Marietta a boost in their sports program.

[NY BUCK]

Would like to see Marietta get in, and make it even. Would be a nice week 5 game for the bucks, assuming they wouldn’t shuffle the schedule around.

Why Marietta and no on Warren?

Who's closer to the rest of the TVC teams?

Distance from Don Drumm
Alexander: 1 Hour 1 Min
Athens: 59 Mins
Meigs: 53 Mins
Nelsonville-York: 1 Hour 6 Mins
River Valley: 1 Hour 21 Mins
Vinton County: 1 Hour 23 Mins
Wellston: 1 Hour 29 Minutes

From Warren
Alexander: 49 Mins
Athens: 43 Mins
Meigs: 41 Mins
Nelsonville-York: 49 Mins
River Valley: 1 Hour 10 Mins
Vinton County: 1 Hour 12 Mins
Wellston: 1 Hour 18 Mins

Personally I think the TVC needs to add one of these two teams or Oak Hill, make it even and move on. I would also be fine if stayed just like it is because I’m not seeing the big issue that everybody else is. The TVC doesn’t have to be the orphanage for all of these schools that are coming from failed conferences.

Reps from Marietta came to visit the principal at Southern. With his pull, I would say they are in. He is hoping to get the tvc back to a point where they can go to three divisions.

[Almost Champions]

Also, I know he isnt in favor but the tvc really needs a league assigner. This would be easier now that all members are from ohio.

Keep in mind the Hocking is uneven too with the departure of Miller, Wahama.

The quick, easy solution is to shift RV to the Hocking & be done. If the Ohio is a 6 team league, each coach will have the freedom to schedule up (vs Warren, Marietta, etc ...) or down (Hocking teams perhaps) depending on the strength of his/her program.

Just from my experience and a money perspective, Warren would be the more attractive option on paper. Marietta sporting event gates besides the Warren games are horrible. Not a lot of community support at all. I know that doesn’t make or break anything but it should count for something.

Warren and Marietta need to join the TVC. Marietta hasn’t had a winning season in football since 2002

I can remember going to Logan/Athens football in the late SEOAL and Athens fans didn't half fill the home side. Now when Burrow was there it probably picked up. Even on here people were saying Athens didn't have a very strong follow. So in saying I think if Marietta can get themselves to where they can put some wins up they would have more people coming out. It was a very poor move for Marietta to join the league they are in now. Warren and Marietta would be a good add to the TVC.

Warren has tried. We made a presentation and gave them the projections for how much money we would bring in and the sense it makes geographically and got voted down so not sure what the problem is. It would be awesome to have a three division TVC with Warren, Marietta, Athens, and VC in the top division. Very even competitively.

Athens got you the votes and Warren screwed it up

How so? I never heard the details so honest question.

[Raider6309]

Warren had the votes to get in but would only join with Marietta. Made no sense. SEO needs Warren vs Vinton in basketball

VC and Warren can play twice a year if they want.
The D2 tourney ramifications would be just as big as league implications.
People act like you have to be in a league to play each other.

They play in football next year so that’s a starting point hopefully.

[Dundas]

If the TVC doesn’t vote for Marietta or look to expand then I think River Valley should play in the Hocking for football only and Nelsonville-York should be in the Ohio for football only.

That would even the divisions up and River Valley would be in a division where they could compete in football and vice versa for Nelsonville-York in all other sports.

[Dundas]

I would honestly like to see the TVC send an invite to Oak Hill for the Ohio Division and Fort Frye for the Hocking. That would give each division, 8 teams. I think 8 is the magic number in terms of putting multiple teams into the playoffs for football.
