I have been out of town, but reading much about Carmel's plans to drop CG from all athletic competition. If this is truly about the basketball game with the student's rushing the floor, this really has my head scratching. I watch the video of a coach sending his players to walk around the students, yet he decides to aggressively push through the students bumping multiple kids along the way. And this is ok? Why didn't the head coach simply walk with his players? It would seem its the classic direction, "do what I say and not what I do". A 40+ year old man decides to push his way through a group of students in lieu of simply walking around them? And this is what Carmel admin is upset about? Yet they won't comment nor state how they plan to hold their coach accountable for an incident they initiated. So you drop your top rival for 25 years over that one incident? Its ok to have your players running off a field of competition for gun shots at a venue, but this type of incident self-instigated is the back breaker?? It makes zero sense......unless.... There is something deeper....I too believe Carmel is working to distance themselves from CG, to win favor from a number of MIC schools to get re-admitted to the conference. There is something more going on here. 25 years together competing and can't even reach out to their rival school to discuss like adults? Blind side with an announcement to the same school that stuck besides them when attempting to join the HCC? But hey...as one long time GID member (just happens to be a BD guy) praises the Carmel AD for being such a swell human being recently in a post, indicating that may be enough to get Carmel into the MIC. I honestly thought it was a joke at the time of his post, given it would take more for the state's largest school to get re-admitted to a conference they had scorned a year later, than simply having a "likeable" AD. Now I am guessing he had more insight that I realized.

Blackhawk Christian is looking for games.

They will never do that. “A man’s reach should exceed his grasp … or what’s a heaven for?”

I'm actually good with a bunch of kids who can coherently answer a question in the post game interviews. And Freeman did ink twenty 4-star players. Smart kid + 4-star athlete = playoff opportunity/big payout game. I'm not sure Notre Dame is willing to lower their standard to win the whole thing. They still consider themselves an academic university. After all, it is college.

5 road games in a row will result in an expected lose, may be two
