While I'm on my rant, this goes with other threads that have been discussed over the last month or so, but we wonder why we are losing more and more great coaches at the high school level. We wonder why no one wants to stick with a program for 15-20 years, why they get burnt out. It's right here, one more thing for coaches to have to worry about that has nothing to do with the actual game of football itself. It's why coaches lose their passion and love for coaching the sport they grew up loving and playing that they want to pass on to the next generation. How long before high school football players are making more money than the guys coaching them?

I give it 2 to 4 years

I believe this is what they are voting on. It says in what I read that they are to have no connection with the school name, uniform, etc... My question is how are we going to regulate all 412 some schools with multiple sports on this? We already have problems following the rules of limited contact apparently. How are we going to make sure every athlete in the state of Indiana isn't making so many dollars from the school booster club or using the school name, colors, etc to make more money? The answer is there is no way we can, so why even open the door for this to happen? Has the IHSAA learned nothing from what the college level is going through once they opened up this pandora's box that is NIL?

Ughh. NIL and the Shot Clock at the same meeting? I miss the old IHSAA.

Should’ve stayed at two points and I think you can make an argument it should be one point.

I was working a flag game once when two defenders were following their receivers on crossing routes. They collided full speed and neither saw it coming. They were able to get up and walk away but were done for the day. I'm guessing one or both ended up with concussions. There are also incidental contact when two players are going for a pass. Contact is definitely much less than tackle football but not enough to not non-existent.

A nitpick, but that’s being generous to the NIC.

Just Doyel being Doyel....

What a great post. I know he has a “younger” wing that does a great job. I have NO idea if he wants to be a WH, but @yuccaguy and I chatted after their SF game, and man does he “fit the part”. If I wasn’t on the other part of the state, I’d have worked as many games as possible with these gents. @Yuccaguyand I have never met in person, but he has always answered my messages and helped me a ton.
