🎱8-Man Imperialism - After Round 1🎱 No change to the map this week, but there is a consolidation game on deck between South Fork and West Carroll with lots of land and a trip to the semis on the line. - Teams on Map: 4 Consolidation Games: 1
🎱8-Man Imperialism🎱 Amboy, Milledgeville, South Fork, and West Carroll open the playoffs with territory. Twelve other teams will try to take it on the path to a state championship in 4 weeks. No consolidation this week, but teams can steal. - Teams on Map: 4

🏈11-Man Imperialism - After Round 1🏈 Some underseeds stole significant land in the southern half of the state; Oswego now owns the most original territories, occupying 24. - Teams on Map: 68 Consolidation Games: 15
🏈11-Man Imperialism - After Week 9🏈 The fight for a state championship begins now! From now on, every team is at risk of losing land with no way to gain it back. In five weeks, only 8 will stand as their respective class champs! - Teams on Map: 74 Consolidation Games: 6

🎱8-Man Imperialism - After Week 7🎱 South Fork wins its 3rd straight consolidation game and owns all land in the East and South Divisions. We're done with 8-man consolidations until the playoffs, but land can still change hands before the postseason. - Teams on Map: 4

🏈11-Man Imperialism - After Week 7🏈 Minimal alterations to the map ahead of W8. Here's the home stretch... Champaign Central finished on the map last year and missed the playoffs; can someone sneak onto the map and do it again? - Teams on Map: 89 Consolidation Games: 9

...All that to say: split the proposal in two and I think one of the pieces could pass. Not sure it would in its current form. (End 🧵) @NUICFootball @ViewFromWestPod what did I miss?

...This piece of the proposal holds to both tradition and equity, allowing for the continuation of old rivalry while maintaining sizable matchups. Traveling trophies can still be on the line, and teams still take scheduling liberty in a way means something...

...Many schools are bleeding from the thumb and chopping off the whole hand when it comes to traditional conference athletics. If football is the driving factor that people say it is, as it already plays by different playoff rules, then it can play by different rules here too...

...You could even give it a name if it feels bland. "6A Region 2" becomes "6A East Fox Division," or "4A Region 8" is "4A Egyptian." At least THIS part of the proposal is meant to provide equity in places it doesn't exist...

...Of course, "Upstate Eight Champ" (hint: has 12 teams) sounds better than "6A Region 2 Champ," but conferences have become temporary grounds anyway; few are immune to any level of shift. Arguing "the proposal would constantly change" ignores that many already do (SW Valley)...

...Especially if the first three weeks DO still count for playoffs, that would help even more. Traditional rivalries WOULD still carry weight even in a new format in the first few weeks (if you have more than three 'rivals' in a sport, you're doing it wrong)...

...Since then it has been in 4 iterations of football "conferences," including its incomplete 4-team scramble right now. This proposal would help so many who have been conference nomads, and the flex helps relieve the negative rigidity that the old district proposal held...

Not sure I'm a huge fan of expanding playoffs, but... **LOVE the flex regional part.** My alma mater (Seneca) was in its conference for 35+ years before leaving in 2018...🧵
A proposal has been put forth to the IHSA to expand the playoff field by 96 teams and introduce a flexed regional scheduling concept to ease the pressures for teams having difficulties putting together a full football schedule

🏈11-Man Imperialism - After Week 6🏈 Playoff clinchers pepper this week's map. Downstate conference challenges caused major border consolidation for a few teams in the smaller classes. Quieter W7 coming up for consolidations. - Teams on Map: 92 Consolidation Games: 3
