I think Logan would be better off in a different conference if it was the right fit economically and competitively. Jackson and Gallia seem to be shrinking slowly but surely. The SEOAL is a great conference but times are changing and there is no guarantee what will happen as rumors have continued to swirl which school or schools will leave first. It is no secret that Jackson has explored its options and had the votes been there we would probably already have moved on.

I think 1925 was the year the SEOAL actually started and it'll probably be disbanded somewhere near the 100th annivarsary date of 2025. "I-87" is right on about Gallipolis and Jackson shrinking (little by little) and Logan will continue to grow as a C-bus bedroom community and they already have the new niceties (new school, fields, etc.) so IMO looking thru my crystal ball they'll join the MSL in about 15 years and that will be that. The times truly are changing and regretfully so to me, the SEOAL is a dinosaur on it's last legs. On the flip side, I want to see the TVC (which it probably will eventually anyway) take the remaining teams and restructure the conference in divisions to accomodate them all. If that happened it would take another 100 years before anyone would have to change anything again and there would be absolutely no problems with travel, economics, etc. As a matter of fact it would be almost as it was for the first 50 years of the old SEOAL. That's my idea of what the cyclical nature of time will present here in a few years.
