This is the no brainer of all no brainers. ’bout time. Should of been implemented a long time ago. As far as D7 goes, if they aren’t on board, so be it. Let them take their ball and go pouting home to mommy. The rest of the state doesn’t need them and we’ll all move forward and be all the better without them. Good riddance.

Won’t happen if the WPIAL exerts their muscles. They are dead set against it even if the majority of AD’s and coaches are for it. There is no way on earth they are going to lose the revenue generated from the initial 64 playoff games to the 8 teams that go to Heinz Field. They get Heinz “scott free” from the Rooney family to use for the day. No way will they be able to get it for two days in a row with it being natural grass, Pitt’s home field as well as the Steelers. I think it’s a good idea but needs some tweaking. Regarding throwing D-8 into the WPIAL. Won’t happen. WPIAL doesn’t want the City of Pittsburgh schools and D-8 doesn’t want to be in the WPIAL. They two have always been separate and do not get along. I just don’t see it happening in the current environment. The WPIAL isn’t going to give up the tradition of playing their championship games in a Professional Stadium. They started with the old Three Rivers Stadium and now Heinz Field. They’re not going to go for it to make other Districts happy. I could easily foresee the WPIAL dropping out of the PIAA Championships for football if this would happen. The support is there en masse.

i think 5 would be enough. Everything i see here is everyone looking for a problem, everyone want change but doesn’t want anything to change. To make this work of course their has to be change, and the bugs will have to be weeded out of the system i believe in the long run that it will be better

Although whats another 6 teams? Is that what D8 is down to now? If so, I would agree they should merge with D7. But, in my humble opinion, D7 is too big, and wields too much power and influence.

Isn’t D7 already big enough?

@JoshF…I don’t think the districts need realigned but I do agree with the D8 comment. They could easily be moved to D7
