On campus games is one thing they got right about this format.

The DOE has released enrollment data from the fall count day for the 24-25 school year. Here are the enrollments for each school for grades 9-12. This year is the first of a two year alignment cycle, so these numbers will NOT be used for realignment. I am just sharing this data to give an idea of the enrollment trends. Note that there always seems to be a few schools that have slightly different numbers when the IHSAA releases their enrollments for classification in a realignment year. Schools with an * did not report their data to the DOE, so their enrollments are listed as the same as the number they gave the IHSAA in 2024. I am only listing the schools in order by enrollment and not including any projections for the split between classes. This data also does not reflect any potential success factor changes. 2025 School Enrollment 1 Carmel 5239 2 Ben Davis 4558 3 Warren Central 3713 4 North Central (Indpls.) 3682 5 Fishers 3590 6 Avon 3518 7 Hamilton Southeastern 3504 8 Franklin Central 3423 9 Penn 3423 10 Brownsburg 3331 11 Noblesville 3264 12 Pike 3188 13 Elkhart 3049 14 Crown Point 3013 15 Center Grove 2956 16 Westfield 2937 17 Lake Central 2926 18 Lawrence North 2791 19 Carroll (Fort Wayne) 2609 20 Lawrence Central 2512 21 Perry Meridian 2447 22 Southport 2419 23 Homestead 2382 24 Columbus North 2360 25 Indianapolis Arsenal Tech 2341 26 Zionsville 2329 27 Jeffersonville 2202 28 Harrison (West Lafayette) 2193 29 Portage 2159 30 Fort Wayne Northrop 2145 31 Whiteland 2135 32 Merrillville 2109 33 Valparaiso 2077 34 Warsaw 2068 35 Lafayette Jefferson 2042 36 Decatur Central 1967 37 South Bend Adams 1966 38 Castle 1948 39 Fort Wayne Snider 1927 40 Chesterton 1925 41 Plainfield 1836 42 McCutcheon 1835 43 New Albany 1821 44 Hammond Central 1814 45 Floyd Central 1785 46 LaPorte 1778 47 Anderson 1768 48 Concord 1723 49 Seymour 1717 50 Goshen 1691 51 Bloomington South 1676 52 Evansville North 1650 53 Terre Haute South 1544 54 Franklin Community 1531 55 Bloomington North 1517 56 Pendleton Heights 1502 57 Michigan City 1498 58 Terre Haute North 1486 59 Mt Vernon (Fortville) 1470 60 Munster 1466 61 Columbus East 1452 62 Hammond Morton 1446 63 Huntington North 1433 64 Greenfield-Central 1413 65 Fort Wayne South Side 1405 66 Fort Wayne Wayne 1398 67 Kokomo 1393 68 Fort Wayne North Side 1383 69 Mooresville 1372 70 Evansville Harrison 1332 71 Northridge 1324 72 Mishawaka 1313 73 Muncie Central 1307 74 Hobart 1294 75 Evansville Reitz 1293 76 Martinsville 1281 77 Indianapolis Crispus Attucks 1263 78 Bedford-North Lawrence 1262 79 Richmond 1259 80 New Palestine 1246 81 South Bend Riley 1238 82 Gary West Side 1227 83 Greenwood 1223 84 East Central 1218 85 Indianapolis Shortridge 1193 86 Columbia City 1191 87 Jennings County 1179 88 Logansport 1139 89 Indianapolis Cathedral 1136 90 Indianapolis Roncalli 1119 91 New Haven 1117 92 Jasper 1095 93 Shelbyville 1068 94 Lebanon 1067 95 East Chicago Central 1049 96 Marion 1049 97 Evansville Central 1037 98 Plymouth 1028 99 East Noble 1012 100 DeKalb 1002 101 Lowell 981 102 Silver Creek 973 103 Highland 969 104 Kankakee Valley 967 105 New Prairie 945 106 Frankfort 922 107 Beech Grove 914 108 Connersville 912 109 Fort Wayne Bishop Dwenger 912 110 Leo 887 111 Boonville 885 112 South Bend Saint Joseph 885 113 NorthWood 869 114 Evansville Bosse 868 115 Northview 863 116 Charlestown 860 117 Hanover Central 857 118 Danville 848 119 Delta 847 120 Yorktown 836 121 Wawasee 833 122 Culver Academies 832* 123 Brebeuf Jesuit 829 124 New Castle 828 125 Washington 826 126 Western 799 127 South Bend Washington 795 128 Guerin Catholic 794 129 Edgewood 774 130 Madison 769 131 Indianapolis Bishop Chatard 762 132 Mishawaka Marian 760 133 Jay County 757 134 Mississinewa 754 135 Norwell 753 136 West Lafayette 752 137 Corydon Central 748 138 Gibson Southern 741 139 West Noble 732 140 Indianapolis Washington 720 141 Lawrenceburg 715 142 Angola 714 143 Hamilton Heights 709 144 Vincennes Lincoln 704

nah....30 years in coaching in multiple programs, 35 years in education.... Experience is a great teacher.

He didn’t recruit Jackson and not sure why Cig isn’t warm with him. Had to factor in why he left. He has talked highly about both frosh QB’s he did recruit and guessing they will both be redshirted. For reasons only he knows, he doesn’t feel either has earned the keys to the car. Thus he’s looking for the experience. Sorry, didn’t know what you meant referring Mendoza coming from a mid major school.

Put non-compete clauses in those contracts requiring the player to sit out a season if he breaches the contract by going to another school. Transfer portal? There, fixed that for you.

Easy for you to say because ND won. while I agree, the campus atmospheres were electric, the inconsistent criteria which was used to determine seeding has to go. By no means am I saying they would’ve won but I think everyone is in agreement that the 8/9 matchup last night would’ve been entirely different had it been in Knoxville. No reason Penn State should have an easier path than Oregon or Ohio State.

Alabama lost to Vanderbilt and got smoked by Oklahoma. Why should anyone trust that they could be IU?

No disagreement about the Oline, but Rourke’s strength is not improvising on his feet. Once the pocket starts to collapse, he begins to duck and it’s all over. Contrast his play compared to Oregon’s Gabriel or Penn State’s Allar…much more creative on their feet. I think mobility is something IU needs to consider for their next QB1.

Easier said than done. When you pour 365 days a year into something, it’s hard, especially for 18-22 year old young men.

Well said!

I enjoyed both night games. One is of course I'm a Notre Dame fan, and the other because the SEC lovers can eat whatever. I can't wait to hear Finebaum's excuse for the Vols! IU gave tOSU a much better game than the Volunteers!

How about “marking their territory?” 😂🤣

Ok so let’s start with the term “flag planting” itself. I’d venture to say that 90+% of college football fields use field turf in this day and age so nothing is actually being “planted.” Maybe we need a new term. It is an emotional game and I do not think my program is above reproach but I think celebrating with your teammates, band, fans after the postgame handshake is the way to go. If you wanna do a “flag plant” or some sort of photo at the 50 yard line, you do so once the other team has left the field and is in the locker room. The closest analogy I can come up with is the cutting of the nets after a conference title win or NCAA tournament win in basketball. Shake hands, cheer with your fans and then bring the ladders out once the other team has left the floor. Court storming in college basketball is no different and is actually much more dangerous if you ask me. Being gracious in defeat is only one part of the equation as winning with class also has to mean something. We are so quick to not only win, but rub our opponents’ faces in it and embarrass them. It’s kinda sad honestly. Not saying you can’t show emotion but it I have to watch another WR celebrate a first down when they are down 21 points, I may vomit.

The mega conferences allow teams to avoid many of the heavy hitters in their conference which inflates their record. Also, I love the environments and those home stadiums, but we need a less subjective process in order to determine seeding. College football home field advantage is like no other and is almost worth 10 points in my opinion. Vegas always gives the hometown three but it’s way more than that in college football. Can’t believe two teams that received a bye this weekend are double digit underdogs next week.

Who cares? Whether it is easier or not, it’s only relevant if it’s happening. And there’s not a shred of credible evidence that it’s happening, has happened, or will happen in the future.

Yet you don't appear to have donated to the GID for three straight years. It should have been at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Do I think they WOULD shave off those kids to stay, probably not. Do I think it would be easier for them to affect enrollment numbers (in their favor) than a public school? Absolutely.

Cignetti is a better version of Scumbaugh, er Harbaugh, you know the big cheater with TTUN… the same dirt bag that bailed on TTUN and left the cupboard bare so they could be an also ran far behind 2nd place Indiana… you know TTUN that lost to Indiana and went to Ohio State and won…

IU never recovered after the poor passing decision and interception in the red zone followed by the 98 yd TD run in the first quarter. Congrats Irish and Irish fans!! Go get the Dawgs!

I wish the IHSAA would use the current year's enrollment for the current year's classifications.
