Why? School affiliation is very well defined in most cases, whereas league affiliate tends to be rather weak. Schools often switch leagues, are not part of any league, or are affiliated with multiple leagues. > Anything the athlete does before or after joining a school will not be > considered for that school's record Agreed. > just as anything a school does before or after joining a > league should be considered for that league's record. That's where the analogy breaks down, in my mind. The league definition is too vague for it to be that simple of a justification. --- Ed and Dana Parrot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Excellent point by Marty Post.

Given that example, if leagues can merge and take on the best of the previous leagues' records, how is that any more meaningful than taking on the record of a school new to the league or from schools in the league that were set before the league was formed? What if when the leagues merged, new schools were added or some left for another league? Do they discount old records from the new schools or wipe out those of everyone because the schools leaving changed the playing field?
