I for one apologize for nothing He might be crazy but I think he's hilarious

If I had a preference, I would prefer the Mid-State Conference and then the HHC in that order, but not because of competitive reasons. The Mid-State Conference would mean much less travel time, while the HHC would mean a lot of travel time with several schools down on the Ohio River. It would be a quick shot up I-69 to get close to the Mid-State Conference schools for all sports and not just the "money" sports. If it were strictly for competitive reasons, I would prefer the HHC since we developed quite a bit of rivalry with New Albany and Floyd Central down on the Ohio River, not to mention Silver Creek from outside the HHC in basketball. We continue to have both football and basketball relationships with nearby HHC schools in Col. East, Seymour, and BNL, not to mention Jennings County. I don't know where the contract stands on our basketball series with New Albany and Floyd Central, but they are among the schools that have been a mainstay on our basketball schedule.

I personally think the Terre Haute schools were trying to get ahead by not allowing themselves to be at the mercy of the other Conference Indiana schools. The writing was on the wall when the Mid-State Conference accepted Bloomington North as its newest member. With five CI schools left, you have to decide whether you’re going to get out before it all crashes down on you or if you’re going to sit on your hands and let others beat you to the punch by getting out. The Terre Haute schools decided to be proactive so they found a conference willing to take them in instead of putting themselves in a desperate situation down the road where they may not have had any conferences looking for new members.

With Conference Indiana collapsing Hoosier Hills needs to make a strong push to add Bloomington South and Columbus North. JC moves to Independent and then maybe to the EIAC.
