Was told today that Gerstell is entertaining the idea of Football for next season.
I would guess MIAA-“C”
Their Basketball program has had recent success in MIAA.

Heard the same thing but heard it got shot down

[Gooch]

Cost too much was voted down

[BayWalker]

Powers to be @ Gerstell met today to discuss football again.
Great school with great facilities.
Most folks would be shocked if they saw what
Dr. Smith has built over past 15 years.
(Just look @ Google earth)
Hopefully they can put something together sooner than later.
Many families from the area have traveled great distances to attend other private schools that do offer football. (GC, DM, CHC, Gilman, LB.)
I think Gerstell would succeed on the Gridiron,
IF they can get it off the ground.

Be very interesting McDonogh 2.0?

They can definitely succeed. In fact they could be a nationally ranked team in 2 years. I’ll give them the formula for success. 1. Give 40+ full scholarships a year to kids all over the east coast 2. Provide free housing 3. Provide meals and transportation 4. Provide cleats, gear, and free training. 5. Pay ex-college players 80k/year to coach your team. It will cost Gerstall roughly $1 million a year but they will be a national power in no time.

I laughed really hard!!

 

I do think Gerstell could be a B conference team in a few years. We need more teams in the MIAA, especially as we see the decline of the big G.

I was told that the MIAA leadership is supposedly working on adding more teams. Just have to wait the process out. Stay tuned...

Bc fan
You forgot a few items:
$1,200.00 Thursday night meals at Bateman’s.
$300.00 week for Hank’s RedBulls.
$400.00 week parking tickets on PA Ave Towson.
$10,000.00 annual donations to Mizz Dunn.
900K should cover it all.

Rumors: Gilman and Loyola to the B conference

 

According to VSN these two storied programs will apply for acceptance into the B conference in the off season

[MaroonTiger]

The MIAA needs to reform completely and abolish the C conference. Should be a promotion and relegation league every year or split by school size no matter the current competitive balance. Money isn’t in the equation as much anymore. Or push to join the public association.

[GreyhoundAlum]

As a Gilman Alum, this is the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever heard! The school needs to fire the Headmaster and AD’s immediately!!

[bleedingorangeandblack]

Get the hell out of here
Thats just sad

[oldballcoach]

Holy cow is this legit or speculation by VSN

[MaroonTiger]

Informed speculation. Gilman only has a varsity team and no JV or Frosh. B Conference teams have better numbers.

Neither does McD, but they’re not looking to move down. I have a hard time believeing that Gilman would move down with McD still being in the A. If this happens, I don’t see the Headmaster or AD’s lasting very long.

[Chris B]

Hey guys - just adding a Rumors note to the title since this is still speculation.

[MaroonTiger]

How schools govern their themselves internally isn’t my range. I just know once they fielded only a varsity I know they conversations picked up and that was well over a month to go. Kids choosing water polo over football. I’m sure SFA coaches enjoying this demise. I’m more saddened by it. As MSJ, CHC, ASP increase their numbers in their program, others decline. I honestly think the independents should join the IAC and the Catholics break apart. I know that hurts lacrosse though.

I still think the MIAA should look into merging with the MPPSSAA. Everyone plays up a class or two. McD/Gilman/Loyola play 3A, CHC, MSJ, ASP play 4A. Or add Riverdale and Avalon and maybe try to pull Malvern down.
