[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prep isn't leaving the IAC.  In fact, their football team is leaving the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association and will play an independent schedule beginning the 2012 season -- kind of like Notre Dame does in college football.

The move is apparently due to the growing sense among the administration that Prep needed to reestablish its DC-area football presence and resume the rivalries that have been part of their past (e.g., St. Albans, Bullis will return to their football schedule, added to their annual games against Landon and Gonzaga).[/quote]

No, it's because they were getting pummeled by the MIAA and no other conference would have them for now.  Expect them to find a way to join the WCAC (if they can somehow keep a rivalry going with Landon in lacrosse).[/quote]

Ridiculous.  If Prep left because they were getting pummeled by the MIAA, then what would lead anyone to believe they would want to join an even tougher conference like the WcAC? It all comes down to alumni getting sick of a football schedule littered with unknown schools an hour outside of town. Interesting that Bullies, St. Albans, and Landon are willing to take them on.  Why not bring Prep back into the fold for I.A.C. football?  I think this all plaid out the same way back in the 70s.  Prep was kicked out of IAC football and reinstated. [/quote]
