[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One benefit of a merger would be a playoff system for football. The IAC ended in a three-way tie for the second time in the last three years.

The dcsaa playoffs are decent, but that organization hates to see the private schools win anything.

With only five football teams in the IAC, a playoff this past year would have strange. Add some more teams with a merger and end the season with an outright winner. 
Just a thought !

Well. maybe. Its a more valid point if you bring in strong teams that are actually going to affect the records of the stronger ones at the top of the table. But, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Besides no one cares about the issue raised. It's a potential solution to a non-problem.

Sharing the title doesn't bother anyone. I've been around the IAC for many years, and that's never been raised as an issue.

And if you didn't divide the thing up into tiers some schools would never again sniff a championship in anything. And if you did, it defeats the whole purpose of a larger league.

This isn't English Soccer. The rosters of the high school teams change radically from year to year. So you are "relegating" last year's team.

Actually this whole conversation seems to be about a SOLUTION LOOKING FOR A PROBLEM.

It's a lot of work and risk for the schools and for many of them it offers no real benefit. [/quote]Great - you’ve been around the IAC for years. Have you spoken to the football players from the teams that share the title this year ? 
I have. I know boys on all three teams. They would have loved another shot at each other in a playoff. 
If you think that the IAC teams would be happy to share regular season titles, imagine taking away the season ending tournaments for lax, hockey, baseball. [/quote]
