Good episode.

The one thing I will say is in regards to the talk about Batavia being a great place to see a game. While that may be the case, I remember going there through the '90's and after every Batavia first down their announcer would yell, FFIIIIIRRRRSSSTTTT DOWN BBBAAATTTAAAVVVVIIIIAAAA!!!

I hope that guy retired or got his vocal chords clipped.

W/r/t the Kennedy-Hancock mega co-op, are there other examples from outside the CPL that jump to mind? I feel like close pairs of 1000+ person schools with bad or non-existent football would not be very common outside of the CPL. If that is the case, and given there are already certain rule carve outs for the CPL, I wonder if an exception could be make for CPL mega co-ops, especially if they stay outside state playoff eligibility.

Of course an exception could be made if someone submits a proposal for it to be voted on.
