I agree as so many of us only think of realignment in terms of Football, yet there is much more to it than just Friday night ball games.

Video games are getting pretty realistic. Couldn't we play some of these long-distance games "virtually"?

This will cut down on concussions also.

A neutral site halfway or equally distant would help a lot in some of these districts.
