Did I get this right the GF Central and Red River are dropping down to AA in football next year?

Yep...VC, DL & Wahpeton are already a part of the AA East alignment...North, South and Shanley still to make their decision. This is for the 2021 & 2022 season not the upcoming 2020 Season

Maybe Red River and Central should consider a co-op so they can continue to compete at the AAA level. (writer winks)

There will be big schools in AA no matter what with the alignment.

Class A schools will be either AAA or AA; ALL Class B Schools will be Class A or 9-man

Games should be far more competitive on the AAA & AA levels with this plan.

AA looks like: GFC, GFRR, VC, DL, Wahp, St. Mary's, Jamestown, Williston, Turtle Mountain, Watford City for sure; with others like North, South, Shanley, to make a decision soon (Dickinson also has the option to be AA).

September 18th is the deadline for these decisions.

GF Central and Red River are dropping down to AA

Yup and Fargo North and South.

Soooo....why?

Enrollment of 1000 vs enrollment of 300?

That's like having enrollment of 300 vs enrollment of 100.

Or wait....teams can move down because of "lack of success"?

What schools in AA have a 300 enrollment? maybe St. Marys

I was thinking total enrollment. Yes. There are some teams with male enrollment in that range.

That option wasn’t easily accessible on the document or the time to research exact numbers.
