TVC Ohio to amend membership rules

[Leave No Doubt]

I am pushing for a new rule to require teams to have turf as a condition of membership in the TVC Ohio.
Currently we have Athens, Nelsonville York, and Meigs now meet the requirements.
All other teams will need to move to a third division or they can join Hocking schools in an effort to form a new league. Either way is fine so that southern can get a chance to win a conference crown in something.

That being said. We need some schools in our upper crust turf division. Thinking we should invite Warren, Jackson, Logan, and Marietta. We can invite Fart Frye but they have to play in that middle division with the other pasture field teams.

Great idea. I’d love to get Gallia in the Ohio too but they can’t afford turf.

[Leave No Doubt]

Unfortunately that is correct. They would have to play Fart Frye in the Pasture Division upon acceptance.

You invite those teams Meigs would never win another TVC Ohio conference game. You might want to put grass back in a take your 50/50 shot with a chance to win in the Hocking.

Lol

They can’t even afford to mow that swamp they play in

Sounds like someone might be afraid to play on a muddy field. LOL

Seeing a lot of trash talking out of the TVC or some people just trying to stir the pot

[MTSWNGRVSG]

Plus by that standard that means they think they are better then Alabama, Clemson, SoutherN Cal, UCLA, Penn State, Michigan State, in addition to the Chiefs, Packers, just to name a few!

Sounds like someone is afraid to face our superior speed on turf.

So you’re comparing RV to the Superbowl champions? WOW you’re out there pal.

The teams that ran by you guys on the grass will still run by you on your turf.

I was turf man at one point in my life, but now, there are numerous significant studies that turf is the reason for the rise in ACL and general knee injuries that we are seeing today. So, I am no longer a fan. Sorry. Not sorry.

Curious, would you mind sharing the link to one of those studies. I’d love to see the research on this. TIA.

NO

just wonder why I waste my time with this site anymore

Schools around here can't afford the 10's of thousands of dollars it takes to install and upkeep a turf field, for 5 games a year, maybe 10-15 if they have jv & jr hi play on it. Gallia can't even get a stadium at their school, let alone afford turf, ya'll keep dreaming though.

There is no need for turf--- The smell of grass is all you need--Also most schools cant afford turf.

Here is a study from May of 2022

Also, back in May, I believe, HBO Real Sports had a great segment on the turf debate
