[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the others who suggested that the issue across these leagues are based on competitive imbalance issues related to single-sec versus co-ed institutions.

I do not believe Potomac and Flint Hill would join the IAC to put themselves in a position of such a competitive imbalance to Landon and STA on a regular basis (and now Prep since they are rejoining for football).

At the same time, Sidwell left the IAC in the mid 1990's exactly because of this imbalance - not because "they sucked at sports" but because they realized trying to compete in certain sports when they simply didn't have the enrollment population to draw on for regular competitiveness (and weren't willing to compromise academic standards for success on the field) - not sure why other co-ed schools would sign up for that today.

Now, if there were a move to create a private school league for NoVa comprised of EHS, SSSA, Flint Hill and Potomac, that would be an issue for both the MAC and IAC and would necessarily change the landscape in the area.

LOL.  Potomac and FH would join the IAC in a heartbeat.  Being part of the IAC would be a huge boost to their athletic programs.[/quote]
