Super Leagues DO Work

[ballersdreams]

Super Leagues will work and most the league these schools play in will not mind if the have a chance to win their League title. This Leagues should be run by their own section. Teams that are in the super league should have automatic berth in their appropriated division for sections playoffs. The teams should be in the super league at least 3 to 5 years. This gives a chance to for a powerhouse teams to rebuild within 1 to 2 years. But this super league should be for the sport their team is real good in and always win their league title and the schools other sport will stay in their own league. If a team starts to lose by 30 for 2 years in a roll they can ask to be put back in their old league. This will work for all schools. Its just like having a school play independent and get to play who ever they want. This makes so good teams have to play each other week after week.

4) Salesian
5) Carondelet
6) Clayton Valley
7) Cardinal Newman
8) Valley Christian

SJS Super League
1) SMS
2) Brookside Christian
3) McClatchy
4) Vanden
5) Sac High
6) Modesto Christian
7) Bradshaw Christian

5) Eastside Prep
6) Scotts Valley
7) St France (Mt. View)
8) Valley Christian (San Jose)

This is only for Girls Basketball each sport would be different and have a chance to win a Section Super league Championship. This allows to during the preseason to play other section top teams and teams in the leagues can duck each other because the would be in the same league.

Why cant the league be changed EVERY year.....based on what each team has coming back.....why wait for a team that is down to get smashed before sending them back to their regular league?

I LOVE the idea of a super league.....it would be VERY cool.....travel would suck though for some of the teams not centrally located.

 

[ballersdreams]

It will be ok for some teams to get blowout by 30 because the still have a automatic berth to their section. Then the adjustment could be made after their second bad Season. Traveling will be ok because the game will be real good competition no just a game being played because it has to be. Think about it would a team rather play a team that they know they will blowout or will a team rather that the don't know if they are going to win or lose that game. I think some team wouldn't like this because it a team has a injury they might get beat by everyone in the league. Teams can duck no more if these leagues are formed. But everyone know some good teams will not like this because they want to when a league champions without have to push themselves.

Everybody know who these teams are very well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUPER LEAGUE,



Will never work because public schools are at the mercy of enrollment and if they step outside that CIF slams them. For example McClatchy, after Garcia and Lee are gone they will be just another public school. The only way you can have a so called super league is by only including private schools and charter schools i.e. Sacramento high. I know we all like to pretend that we do not see the Pink elephant in the room but private schools can recruit kids and call it something else, for example Bailey at Jesuit on the boys basketball / football team, parents finically are not able to pay a tuition of 9,000.00 a semester and he did not have the greatest grades in middle school but he's at Jesuit. Look at your list it's dominated by Private schools. I think they should have a (private school league / charter school) and a public school league and then play each other in a championship game at the end. The Nor Cal / Southern Cal. championship games should be public vs. private and then on to state.

That's why I said it would work everyone always talks about the private school factor. Most of the top teams are from the private school sector. The leagues would love for some of these teams to be in their own league. The super leagues that I put was for Girls Basketball only. The boys Super league would have different teams and different sports will have their own Super leagues. Because in football there would be a lot of Public school in the super leagues.

I don't see the super league scenario happening
if the south wont do it, then the North aint gonna have it
the budget for travel alone will eat up a lot of this

also, how do you create a super league in girls basketball and leave Berkeley High out?
They have been in the mix for a long time, and even in a "down year" they are still going to be a factor in NCS Division 1....
All of their losses this year have come to teams on your lists, and they beat Cardinal Newman AND Brookside Christian and Sac Hi...
I have seen a lot of girls basketball in this area in the last 15 years, and B High is ALWAYS in the mix...

It's a great concept, but the details are an issue.

As mentioned, Valley Christian of Dublin will be just another D5 team next year (though a good one) and would get crushed in the Super League. Of course, you could find another team, but I think it would make much more sense to create the league every year -- and it would have to be created by people who knew what they were doing and paid attention to graduation, transfers and coaching changes. So it would have to be done in September, after school started, so the transfers were locked in.

Travel is a huge issue. The idea of good games is great, but the cost of a bus from the East Bay to Santa Rosa is close to $1,000 -- and every road game for Cardinal Newman would cost that much. Also, it means that the junior varsity and frosh teams have to travel as well.

Scheduling would be complicated as well, for presumably the boys' teams would not be in the same Super League, so coordination of home and away, game times, etc. would be very complex. It could be done, but athletic directors would need to be willing to spend a serious amount of time juggling the competing demands at every school.

All that said, Southern Section does something very like this, but one advantage it has is the large number of high schools that are reasonably close to each other, thus mitigating the travel problem and probably the scheduling as well. The Southern Section also has a very large section administrative staff to deal with all the moving parts.

There's no doubt it would be a great thing to create what is essentially an Open League because it would remove many of the blowouts that are depressing for all involved. But it would be very hard to implement, unfortunately.

 

[ballersdreams]

I think it would work if schools want to work because the cost of the bus would be that much because most game are within 20 miles except for the Newman game in the NCS. But most of the schools that will be in Super league are private schools. Each sections needs to be responsible who should be in each Super league. Teams these day are take into their own by going independent anyway. But it will work if Schools want it to work.

Its a GREAT idea.....but would never work.....

its hard enough to get a consensus in 1 single section...

can you imagine the headache trying to get all the Nor Cal sections to go

along with this? Too many chefs in that kitchen.

the good news is than when it happens, the games will be broadcast live on the SciFi channel.
