You don't understand Temp...that gives Muda the opportunity to start his other thread criticizing teams that win by large margins. The Beast feeds itself.....

So you’d rather see CG fill their schedule with 3A/4A schools out of necessity to fit some sort of bogus standard you’ve created? For years, folks clamored to see Indiana schools schedule elite out of state opponents and now that we have it, you’re making up this nonsense? This entire CG is nothing more than hurt feelings, and if they were average on the gridiron would not even be a thing. All adults involved should be embarrassed.

That's kind of my thought on this. It's not like CG ran away from or gamed the system. On the other side of the coin, folks would be flipping their wigs if, to avoid having to find stout out-of-state competition, CG loaded their schedule with a bunch of in-state 2A/3A schools with an open week of play and maybe a promise of the gates. That doesn't help anyone. If that's going to be a rule, then the IHSAA needs to step in, decommission all of the current conferences, and go to districts with assigned membership. I'm sure that'll go over like a lead balloon.

So you’re telling me you don’t want CG in the tournament? Why? How would that benefit you or the IHSAA? You want those kids at CG to suffer because adults made decisions that seem ridiculous to me.

LOL, you’re lost. Nothing like 3-4 weeks where you have running clocks. Great for student athletes.

Would CG football be such a "pariah" if they hadn't won 3 straight 6A state championships and 4 straight trips to the 6A state finals? Why are teams scheduling them in every other sport, but not football.? So you believe they should be punished and unable to defend their state title through no fault of their own? No more quotes about "life isn't fair"....that requires next to no thought. that is a complete mistatement. They do play other IHSAA schools in every sport other than football. And their desire is to play in-state school for football. They are resorting to out of state to try and build a 9 game schedule.

You spread 46 over 4 classes and that is 11.5 per class. It really isn't unusual for enrollment to fluctuate like this. I saw years where Sheridan had over 100 students per class and other years there were under 80. The enrollment there has been in the 420 range and has dropped to the 320-330 range. There are two new subdivisions but the enrollment isn't growing that large. It is very hard to predict, but I understand WeBo's situation as you would have to have development in Advance, Jamestown & Thorntown. Not really booming suburbia.

It usually does work. It's not the IHSAA's fault that CG has become some kind of football scheduling pariah.

WW has in fact added North Daviess as a home game. Full schedule this year hopefully! Now to get an 8 team sectional next year.

Then the IHSAA needs to step in and help them. It isn’t CG’s fault teams will not play. That’s pretty much stating that you can get a group together to not play a certain school because you don’t want to compete against them in the tournament. By the way, I do not think that is an actual rule.

Should they be punished for 3 straight 6A state championships? No, I don't believe they should. But other IHSAA member school A.D.'s seem to feel differently. Do you believe the IHSAA should step in and force other member schools to schedule CG football? And life isn't fair, regardless of how little thought you believe it takes. Admitting such is along the path to wisdom.

Why be a member of the IHSAA if you are not going to schedule games against other IHSAA schools?
