Here seniors are not allowed to play JV. But that isn't your problem.
A lot of it depends on how many seniors you would downgrade to JV. If only a couple, then the underclassmen who would be riding the bench would be better off starting at JV. If it is more than a couple you need to either keep them on JV or else suffer. The answer to that question may depend on politics. Would the kids, or the parents, revolt if you broke with tradition? That could be worse for the program than bad seniors on JV.
Or, you may have to wait until you are well established before stirring things up too much.
