Hope you all can read the article.

Cheyenne South will NOT have a varsity football team in 2027.

Wonder how that'll effect the 4A silo scheduling in football next year.

Needed to happen

I would think either A) allow each school one out-of-conference game (i.e. school from Colorado, Nebraska, Utah, etc), or B) move up a school from 3A (Star Valley??).

That's my guess as well.

South should get a waiver to play 2A. But I am not sure the athletics association cares about what’s best for the athletes and the south side of cheyenne.

I'm guessing we'll see Star Valley or Cody move up, Big Horn move to 3A, and South come back as a 2A school.

It world either be Star valley or Jackson; those are the next two biggest

I am at a loss as to how playing only sub-varsity football for a year is going to change things in the short or long term for South football. 1 year doesn't solve the numbers problem that exists at South. If I'm a freshman or sophomore at South, I'd be concerned that 1 year of sub-varsity football might turn into 2 years (and maybe even 3).

Is that what is causing all this, numbers? Is it enrollment? Culture for sports? Helluva stadium to build for what has come to light.
