agreed that is why i said new berlin for example. i dont know who they could get to go with them if they tried that route or if the SCC would find another team to come in. But it would be worth checking out i think
maybe they should see about trying get another team from their conference (new berlin maybe) to join the South Central with them to give them more teams about their level.
then it could split like
pana
staunton
riverton
gillespie
north mac
southwestern
carlinville
greenville...
I did this strictly for my area (st Louis to Springfield) and came up with the following:
Southwestern Conf. - SEC
Sangamo - Big 12
Mississippi Valley - ACC
South 7 - Big 10
South Central - American
Prairie State - MAC
