Why can't it be considered the same gym if it is the same name, same tax id and/or same ownership/staff?
I think the idea is that they could use a different tax id to get around it.
Then what is the point of all this Div 1/Div 2 talk if a mega-gym can also compete as Div 2 because their satellite gym has smaller numbers than the determined cut-off? I thought that one of the deciding factors was not only the number of athletes at a gym but if a gym had multiple locations or satellite gyms as well. Reading that post from @BlueCat makes me feel like the proposed split is now a just big game for the mega-gyms to play so that they can have Worlds teams not competing against each other.
Well the problem is we need to define what constitutes one program with multiple locations. It's easy enough to count all of the CEAs together, for example, but what about all the Varsity owned "Premier" gyms - are those separate entities or one entity?
