So those people whose kids attend private schools should not have to pay school taxes to the district where they live? What about if one doesn’t have kids at all? Should they pay school taxes? Saying they should “lose their rights” kind of sounds like taxation without representation. Pretty sure that “right” was already fought over during a large tea party some years ago. You are wearing roller skates on a slippery slope here. What is the next step? Let those low income areas rot. To hell with the poors, the old, the infirm? Look out Porter Co with your paltry .005 county income tax rate. You guys might want to look into grouping up with the other low tax county to start your own league before “they” start coming after you for not pulling your weight.

It is accurate enough for government work.

Well, we have something in common

I'm confused. Is it November already? I thought it was May with practices still a month away. But this sounds like November belly-aching. I guess there really is no offseason anymore.

It was a joke aimed at no one except myself. Yea, I’m quite familiar with the Kiels, I played against them.

Haha. I just noticed the pink finger nail polish. Nice touch. The high heal might be a little above the allowed length for cleats.

IHSAA is whatever they see fit to suit THEIR purpose, never forget that

Come on man....if a private institution can't stand on its own feet then the government should subsidize it? No one is keeping those attending a private institution from doing just that. These institutions should receive ZERO tax dollars! There is no right to it....that is just laughable. If you can afford to send your kid to one so be it, that's great....live with your choice and your unfair advantage in athletics. Don't look to the government for help. It's funny many of you guys identify as conservative, how hypocritical.

With all due respect, that’s absurd. So…somebody who buys (private) Medigap supplemental insurance loses their entitlement to regular Medicare benefits? Somebody with a large 401k loses their entitlement to Social Security benefits? A couple Canadian provinces actually tried to do something similar to this - prohibit privately contracted healthcare services…which effectively allow people with the means to not only skip the queue, but lengthen it for those without the means. Their courts threw the laws out. If somebody loses the access to a right because of sacrifices they’ve made to enhance their own lives, then it would be a misnomer to call that thing a right.

Flew in from Raleigh for the event 3 days in advance. Had a MAJOR party with the Class of 77 football team. Nine of us gathered at a buddies house in Wadesville. All I can say is astonishing. Game changer never seen one before. Here is a pic I took. One of 83 in fact. lol

1000% AGREED!

I’m not missing it. I just don’t agree with it. The analysis leading to that point of view is, superficial, as the ridiculous analogies that appear earlier in the thread demonstrate.

Had some Thoughts: Top 4: 1. Castle 2. Memorial 3. Jasper 4. Reitz Next 2: 5. North 6. Mater Dei

So the government should reward private businesses for not using their services? Perhaps the government should subsidize your health insurance company for you not participating in Obamacare. Is that where we are headed? When you choose to pay for a customized enhanced service, you forfeit your rights. That’s the point I think you’re missing.

🤣😂😅

He had all the money. And none of us wanted Gouda when Government Cheese was readily available. Me, the non-entitled, non E-light taxpayer.

if you responding to me....I just followed suit with listing both decade and all-time. and if you're referencing Blair Kiel...well before 87-88....try 80-81.

You’re missing the point. Whether people like it or not, P/Ps are an integral part of the state education system. Ask yourself what would happen if large numbers of P/P students decided to go to public schools instead. It costs $$ to educate each student. Vouchers for a P/P students cost the taxpayers significantly less than educating that student in public schools, not to mention the capital investment avoided. Vouchers for P/P students are a significant savings for the taxpayers compared to the alternative. Then, of course, there’s the “fairness” issue…

The right isn’t fundamental when one chooses to purchase an enhanced version. Once one steps out of the confines of what is fundamental, you have chosen the better option (the pay for play option). Kind of like the seafood upgrade at the Buffett. Your dollars provide and enhanced and improved service including inherent athletic and educational advantages. Privatization in its purest form. Services rendered. Fundamentals bypassed and unnecessary to support the business. Let’s save the subsidies for stuff that fails like green energy.

In this analogy, your dad isn’t paying for it. You are, your siblings are, everybody else at the table, etc. Your dad just collects your money, uses it to buy groceries and pay a cook. Governments (dad) literally have no money except that which they take from their people (those of you needing dinner).

That is not exactly accurate. The IHSAA has been found to be a “state actor” in a number of legal decisions. It depends on the issue as to whether the IHSAA is considered an arm of the state, or a private association.

Says who?
