Orient Macksburg is done as a school at the end of this school year. On top of that you have this. I’m sure she is persona non grata in the community.

Why? How big is Iowa Star trying to get? Are they going to try to have 3 divisions in the conference? I understand consolidating colleges into giant conferences because of money, but at High School level, I am not sure what having conferences with 20+ members makes much sense.
Yes, but it is in 2 divisions, north and south so the north and south dont really play each other much, or at all depending on the sport.
Pure speculation but it wouldn't shock me if they were looking at 24 and breaking into 3 8s. Would make scheduling really easy.
Putting NP and NB in makes half the OG Corn Bowl. If they did do 3, school divisions, It probably is setting up to make easy travel for most in a North, Central, South, divisions.

confused Moravia alum, that makes me sad. Although Moravia has a higher enrollment now then when I was in school. So im glad they are holding on.
NB shared some stuff with Clarksville. Not sure how much but I know wrestling and maybe football.
I think the reason Riceville and Rockford left the Corn Bowl/Top of Iowa was because they were too small to compete with the rest of the conference. Both those schools are in the 80-90 BEDS range, and most everyone in the Iowa Star, North division are all sub 100, most being right at that 80-90 BEDS level.
Moravia is sucking kids out of both Centerville and Albia, which allows them to be the largest school in the BGC. Moving to either the Pride of Iowa or SEISC would have them playing schools more there size, but they would be one of the smaller schools in both and the travel would be a killer. The closest schools in the Pride of Iowa would be Wayne and SE Warren.As a proud
Ya, the SCC would be terrible for Moravia. I've lived those games. Not fun lol.
Ya, their win total would drop quite a bit, it's one of the reasons I found it strange that Cardinal decided to leave where they were and join the SCC. Looking at the standings they are either last or next to last in both GBB and BBB.
Considering both schools presented to the AD's at the SCC AD meeting, I would say it is definitely a possibility.
No way the conferences votes to let either Osky or Pella Christian into the league, only way they join would be if the state forced the league to take them.
That ain't happening. The SCC needs the gate from Knoxville visiting its towns.
Moravia going to the SCC would end up just being another Cardinal, they do not have the kids to win a lot of games in that league. As bad as the league is in bb, Moravia would struggle to win more than 3 or 4 league games.
NB shares wrestling with Clarksville still but football split back up. There are a couple Rockford kids wrestling with them as well I believe as Rockford agreed to share some of the travel cost.
Out of the 12 left it’s what? 4 corn bowl, 6 north Iowa and 1 NCC and one that I’m not sure where they came from (north Union)
