I think the issue here is future litigation. The IHSAA was sort of forced into the transfer rules they have now by the threat of the Indiana General Assembly passing legislation to enact changes. I think they are being proactive here. That's my take.

If Austin Mock was was such a genius with his "Model" I am just shocked that he does not have GM next to Austin I get why they have to fill space with "draft" grades and Austin Mock background is in Fantasy Football and his fantasy/Gambling..... So yeah.. HARD PASS on taking that seriously

I LOVED: Stump the Schwab !!!!! That was fantastic. I watched the Weekly Wrestling Jeopardy this week on the Y T algo ...that finishes my evenings..... usually make it about an hour then ZZZZZZZZZZZ on wherever the Algo takes me

Love what Floyd has done, for sure.

Potentially, but some of those great class teams can be teams that win a regional with that great class with kids that are sophomore and juniors and then pop state the next year with that junior class that are then seniors. That first year a class up is what I was referring too about the "hangover effect." You have those seniors, especially if it's a big class, now that are the remnant of a "great team," but in Year 2, you are back to regular program status. In essence, that decision to keep them up is not based on them winning a couple of sectionals in two years in a new class, but instead on the single Year 1 data which is still, to an extent, an indicator of the "great class." You are correct that most "great teams" burn through that greatness just getting to state in the lower class. It think that probably the vast majority of "great classes" that get bumped to the next higher class. there can be some outliers that make that next level and pick up a regional and that's it, and I don't think it's that hard to use a scalpel in determinations. I guess worst case scenario in not being refined in evaluation is that you get a hangover "great class" that ends up spending three years in the next higher class instead of two, but with a little extra scrutiny, it'd be fairer and representative of the idea of separating great programs from great class to use a little extra scruitiny. In either case, I think you and I are both on the same side saying that 3-to-stay needs to go ... no pun intended. Good discussion.

My argument would be that if you can win a sectional in a higher classification then you’re good enough to stay up at that level for two years. Winning a sectional is literally half of the tournament. The “great class” idea only works when a school gets bumped up from obtaining six points in a two year span. If you’re bumped up AND you win a sectional on top of that then that’s more than just one great class. Generally, a great class is an experienced team full of juniors and seniors. If they’re winning three sectionals in four years (including one in a higher classification) then that’s a sign of a good program (whether longterm or short term).

Since all six of the current HHC football members’ schedules are filled, I figured I’d list all their non-conference games below. What do you think? Do you like the schedules? BNL Week 1: Martinsville (9th straight year of the series) Week 2: Bloomington North (9th straight year of the series) Week 6: at Jennings County (8th straight year of the series, 1st game in the series since JC went independent) Week 8: at Scottsburg (replaces one-off game with Monrovia) Columbus East Week 1: at Mooresville (replaces 3 year series with Bloomington South) Week 2: at Columbus North (archrival; 55th straight year of the series) Week 4: Jennings County (6th straight year of the series, 1st game in the series since JC went independent) Week 7: Indianapolis Chatard (replaces 4 year series with Bloomington North) Floyd Central Week 1: at Gibson Southern (replaces one-off game with Warren East (KY)) Week 2: Whiteland (2nd straight year of the series) Week 3: at Silver Creek (6th straight year of the series) Week 8: Evansville Memorial (replaces former HHC opponent Jennings County) Jeffersonville Week 1: at Lawrence Central (replaces one-off game with Cincinnati Taft) Week 4: Kokomo (2nd straight year of the series) Week 6: Mount Clemens (MI) (replaces one-off game with Bloomington North) Week 9: at Indianapolis Lutheran (replaces former HHC opponent Jennings County) New Albany Week 1: Providence (2nd straight year of the series) Week 2: at Indianapolis Lutheran (2nd straight year of the series) Week 3: at Brownstown Central (2nd straight year of the series) Week 6: Silver Creek (2nd straight year of the series) Seymour Week 1: at Greenwood (5th straight year of the series) Week 6: at Brownstown Central (archrival; 20th straight year of the series) Week 7: Jennings County (59th straight year of the series, 1st game in the series since JC went independent) Week 9: Indianapolis Attucks (2nd straight year of the series)

Thank you.

Same way the new summer laws came into effect for football and it was a good thing, but once the tragic death of Cory Stringer happened, then States rules got looked at as it related to heat and Indiana at the time like almost ALL OTHER State did not grade out well, so it was you develop a policy or the Suits in Indy General Assembly does..... that's a hard pass for me and glad the IFCA leadership took it and ran with it instead of the other side of the coin

Oh I'm a fan 100% - what I meant was ask Coach Sharpe how well that was received at Noblesville. (He said as much in his exit interview in the paper that people pushed back against it) Ultimately - if you win enough games - people will shut up. But if you don't, it's an easy scapegoat.

Worked pretty well at LaPorte... not saying it's perfect, but those were some explosive and productive offenses during his time in LP.

Happy Lee Elia Day sports fans!!!!

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?
