If you look at with an open mind and take off whatever color glasses that people are wearing....you don't have cons. To me the only problem is where would they build and put the new school, and build a facility like at Watertown where everything is on campus. Add tennis, track, wrestling, build two gyms so both basketball teams can practice and don't have to share. Like someone said make the colors blue and gold (which looks really good IMO) you could keep both faculties in one building, add more dual credit classes, if certain groups are worried about losing their history have a Gordonsville hall and Carthage hall...you don't have to lose your history to make progress and change.
