So they were expecting to play a Class B VARSITY schedule with just Frosh and Soph's??? Here's your sign... I wonder if somebody didn't just wake up and say: "wtf WERE we thinking...?"

Their enrollment is 325. I haven't gone back, but are you one of the folks who are 100% against opting down? Wondering what their other option is if so. I guarantee if it was advertised as a JV only schedule, they'd have fewer players. Parents want to brag that their kids are varsity starters.

Seems painfully obvious. With 9th and 10th graders you play a Reserve Schedule. Add JV the following year, then full on Varsity. At the very least, play JV, one year, then get killed with no seniors, if ego demands it. But to try to play Varsity in Class B with only the two lowest grades is so foolish and stupid its damned near criminal.

"Painfully obvious".. I can guarantee if it was only sub-vasity, there'd be less kids out. I understand the idea, but moms & dads don't want little Johnny to only play JV. Much like the same problem with teams forfeiting 11 man or 8 man games when they shouldn't be playing that level because they don't have the #s. That's part of the reason teams don't co-op. Mom & dad want their kid to start (yet get their brains beat in by a kid 2X their size)
Honest question, how many kids on a roster should a team have for 11, 8, or 6 man?

So, do you think all of those Freshmen just would have transferred to Bennington to be a starter? Westside? ANY other A or B in the area? How many Freshmen start on good teams at ANY level? If you think trying to play a varsity schedule with nothing but Freshmen and Sophmores, in Class B is remotely rational....I'm not quite sure what to say. Reserve schedule year 1, JV/Reserve in year 2, then full on program in year 3 with some seniors. Colleges don't even jump in when starting football. Somebody needs fired for that decision to prevent further calamities...
 

Omaha Buena Vista, one of the two new high schools in OPS, will not play varsity football this season. In a letter to families of Bison football players, principal Carrie Carr said the reason is that "not enough students are eligible for varsity competition as we begin the year."

A roster sent to the World-Herald as part of a preseason request for team information listed 29 players. Some of those apparently didn't meet the NSAA's May 1 transfer deadline, sources told the paper.

The school was set to kick off their season against the other new OPS school, Westview, on Thursday night. It's not a junior varsity contest set for 7 p.m. Thursday at Omaha South's Collin Stadium.

Buena Vista's other opponents that are receiving forfeits are Blair, Omaha South, Omaha Bryan, Omaha Skutt, Ralston, Plattsmouth, Omaha Gross and Crete.
 
Should have used these two years as JV at BV. The sophomores would still get a senior year against varsity competition.
Absolutely. In fact, this year they should only be playing a RESERVE schedule, against other peoples Frosh and Sophs. Then add JV. With even your better Juniors and Sophs playing, you'd probably have a lot of success. Then, with the next cycle, you roll out your varsity and your program is fully fleshed out and stocked with players. This was an idiotic attempt and something a blind man should have seen. Imagine playing your reserve team against Skutt? Yeesh.

Anybody have any idea of how many the other new school has out? Be interested to see that number. Would there be any socio-economic reasons as to why one school has smaller numbers but the other one is fine? Also, I assume all these kids that just had their varsity season cancelled will still be able to play JV? I will bet Nate had some choice words to say when he got the news we already had a season forfeited. Very poor leadership from Buena Vista.
 
Poor Leadership is a poor choice of words.

It's one year. Who cares? Maybe the NSAA should be more forgiving about a deadline regarding new schools opening? The NSAA is not a saint in this situation.

Decisions were made based on what they wanted to do, because of NSAA deadlines to declare. Sometimes plans don't go the way the vision was. That's not poor leadership. That's just an unfortunate outcome that they expected to be better than it was.

What about the flip side. What if they said no varsity competition till 2023. That makes the 2 year cycle goofy. You absolutely have to plan for the best possible outcome and adjust if not met.

It's too bad those teams lose a game but its a part of it, you can't control every variable that's out of your hands.

I wonder if schools would look harder at the situation of having or not having a team, if there was some actual consequences for a forfeit, For example a forfeit, home or away is a payout to the other school of $1000, now maybe schools would really examine if they should be in a varsity schedule or not. I know the forfeit school doesn't 100% know who all will go out but thats their problem not the school who loses a scheduled game 1K seems reasonable to add some insurance and well thought plan for a full season of varsity has been thought out

I would worry about the risk of further putting players in unsafe situations to save $1000. Say in smaller classes you have a rash of injuries and you're trying to decide whether someone is healthy enough to play. You would hope player safety overrides, but that gets dicey when you add a financial penalty to it.

if 1K is the amount it takes to risk your players safety I would say you should be fired, Therefor this solution solves two problems. It adds accountability to truly judging if you should play varsity or not and gets rid of bad employees

Not having the foresight to see a potential problem with enrollment is a lack of leadership. I will bet all the teams that just picked up the forfeit probably care. The teams that don't make the playoffs because the team that picked up a forfeit and didn't have to prove it on the field got in ahead of them surely care. LPS shit the bed on this, plain and simple. It sucks for all involved. I'm not sure what the NSAA is supposed to do. They have the deadlines they need to get things done. The way I understand it, Nate is essentially responsible for every schedule in the state. That among itself makes it essential to have these deadlines to get schedules out in a timely manner.

It is OPS, not LPS.

Generally, forfeiting teams pay for the refs, if they were the visitors. Obviously, if they were home, they were already doing that.

Not $1000, but for varsity it's creeping closer to it.
 
So, do you think all of those Freshmen just would have transferred to Bennington to be a starter? Westside? ANY other A or B in the area? How many Freshmen start on good teams at ANY level?

So, now you're saying it is alright to either "opt down" or not play a varsity schedule when your roster does not allow your players to be safe? It is either both ways or neither - can't one or the other. Maybe you are starting to understand what some of these other teams are going through.

They should not of attempted to play a Varsity season, especially in that class knowing they only had freshmen and sophomores. Should have played one year of JV only and the next year of JV and freshmen. That would have did much more to help build a program, than attempting what they did

No one, in their right mind, would have thought a Varsity Class B schedule with Freshmen and Sophomores was remotely palatable. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Play Reserves, play JV/Reserves 2nd year, then roll out a full on program year 3. Generally COLLEGES starting football have a 2-3-4 year window for their roll-out. This hubris and arrogance, not only bad for their kids, but 9 teams get screwed out of a game, and at least one team gets the benefit of being in C1, due to hideously bad judgement. It isn't even about "numbers". You can't field a 11 man team with 29??? No, you could have 60 Frosh/sophs and you shouldn't play a varsity B schedule.
 
But a team should attempt to play a varsity schedule in their class when they don't have the numbers? Got it! Or maybe I don't.....
Obviously you don't. You're trying to make some sort of weird point about the chicken league teams that doesn't remotely address this issue. 29, or whatever they had, is plenty to play 11 man football. The point is this: Whoever thought it was plausible to play a Class B varsity season with 14 and 15 year olds only has such flawed decision making that they should never be allowed to make such significant decisions again. Ever.

So, if this said team has 29 kids out and 15 are fresh/soph and 14 junior/seniors on their roster.....but they had to talk 6 of those upperclassmen to play who have never played football before, should just play in their class because they have 29 players? Now this team stays 11 man, since you think they should, have kids get injured and are forced to play younger players. This said team starts forfeiting games for the safety of their kids - and teams that are supposed to play this team get screwed as well, correct? But, what if this said team's leadership understood what was about to happen and was proactive for the betterment of their program - which you think is the right thing to do - and "opted down" a class so they were able to compete with no forfeits. I'm just stating that you can't have it both ways in this situation - I agree that they should not have played a varsity schedule but don't be bashing other schools who are doing what's best for their program.
