Is this just the "Area Championship Meet" that XC has been having forever?

It is the same thing. I guess the coaches/ AD's wanted a better way to come up with the Area Champ for sports like Football, basketball, baseball, soccer instead of the Times-News choosing the Cumberland team with the best record. They set this "conference" up to force the area teams to play each other more often in those team sports. It really does nothing whatsoever for the West Virginia schools, since there are only three of them. I'm sure that they will realize that it is in their best interest to play less of a "local" schedule and stick to other West Virginia teams and then this "conference" will dissolve.

The conference has had numerous alleged political problems as well. This school doesnt want to play this school in such and such sport, and this AD doesnt like that AD of such and such school.. and other such nonsense. So I dont know how this is gonna play out after this year, but the loss of even 1 of the current 9 schools would be a very big hit to the establishment of the league. It's replacing the WMIL because there were only 5 WMIL schools left. If it fails, I would guess the MD schools would have to seek admission to the MVAL. The WV schools have the PVC.

Tommy
If I'm not mistaken the Maryland schools were asked to join the PVC

I've heard things about that, but I believe it was them asking to join the PVC and the PVC not really being interested. But I dunno. Everyone has an opinion/theory about the conference nonsense. I dont really know what is truly accurate and what isnt.

In the 70's, Beall used to be a part of PVC - it was a lot larger conference back then, I suppose.

Thanks for the help. I tried yesterday to look through the archives but it wasn't giving me anything helpful. I'll ask our principal for AMAC info. Thanks again!!!
