Charles City looking to form new conference after racial issues

[KidSilverhair]

Denver, North Fayette, Oelwein, Mason City also in the mix.

I thought Mason City has already agreed to join the Alliance. With a BEDS number of 817 they wouldn’t fit in the NEIC at all.

EDIT: I guess you were talking NCC, which at least has a couple of schools over 300 in BEDS, but still seems like a bit of a stretch to add Mason City.

Mason city just committed to a new conference months ago.

No, I’m pretty sure he meant NEIC with the location of the other schools.

North Fayette Valley makes the most sense, IMO

The “we hate Valley and dowling” conference.

The Whole State Super Conference?

The Whole State Super Conference?

Maybe easier to do the Ahole conference. Take the teams that have been the issues for their groups over the years and put them in one conference.

So far I know it would be

WSR
Dowling
Valley
Osage
Heard Western Christian pulled out of their conference but don’t know details so unsure

Who else?

Better be blond in Pella

I will give it to Pella. Beautiful women.

With most women though, does anyone really know their hair color past the age of 20? If even at that age?

Just look at their eyes brows. Or if you're lucky enough there's other areas of confirmation.

Not always consistent though. Those eyebrows can be deceiving. .

Some women shave their . . . . eyebrows.

This sounds like something that needs to be handled within the conference rather than forming a new one. Pretty sure that WSR does not have racist policies in place that promote this behavior. In the end it is almost always a individual or two that cause racial issues, so it is better to deal with them then to try and rebuild from the ground up. Start by removing and banning anyone yelling racist comments. It is a shame that this kind of crap still goes on.

Waverly's only choice is the Mississippi Valley to replace Waterloo East. Going from beating up on 2A schools to a full schedule of 4As is going to be one hell of a change.

I think the NEICs list has to be North Fayette Valley, Sumner-Fredericksburg and Denver to get back to 8 for now and then figure out two more schools to get to a nice round 10.

Just an FYI - Waverly Shell-Rock was voted out for just one reason: because they are significantly larger in enrollment than the other school districts, which has made it harder for the conference to recruit other, smaller schools to join the NEIC.
This was a numbers issue - WSR is too big - not a racism one. Anyone with any knowledge of the situation knows that.

Sounds more like "the official " reason to avoid legal ramifications.

Kind of my first reaction. Waverly is significantly larger than Charles City. I don't know what the rest of the conference is.

Hasn’t that been the case for a long time?

New Hampton and Waukon (to name two) - the two smallest schools in the conference - have been getting feelers from other conferences lately. They want to stay in the NEIC and expand. You can't get other like-sized schools to join with a school as large as WSR in it.
