Perhaps they release the enrollment figures first so that all the GID people can then tell them what the classifications, sectionals, etc., should be. Makes their job a lot easier.

Well, that ought to liven up the off season for a while. 😂

So their enrollments are higher when they want government funding and lower to classify for sports? I mean this wouldn't surprise me at all.

Imagine that!

Oh good Lord…..

Not trying to pat myself on the back, but I did this enrollment thing a hell of a lot better than the IHSAA did. All they need to do is ask and I can take care of it for them. They have my number.

Now even more shocked that it made International news, not just a blurb on the US MSM. Unfortunately, the incident has been misrepresented that it was the improper wearing of a hoodie that caused it. Knowing what I know about the incident from a reliable source in the school district with direct knowledge, this kid who has a long history of trouble including multiple suspensions from just about all the schools in E.C. had just been very disruptive during class, using extremely foul language in this classroom and was ordered to report to the Principal's office had just verbally assaulted a student threatening her with rape in a graphic manner. Apparently this caused the teacher Mr. Hosinski a 40 year veteran to lose it and the result was caught on video. I can't condone what he did, since it is clearly against the rules and frankly dangerous, but I have to think "the kid had it coming". If I were the threatened girl's parents, I would be throwing an extravagant retirement party for the teacher. Based on the reaction(s) of the students, other staff and parents that know the real story, I think I'm right. I just hope the kid maybe got some sense knocked into his thick skull, but I don't hold much hope given his past and his parent's reaction.

The numbers the IHSAA sent out were not correct. 535 would be 3A. That number likely isnt correct

Owners don't want to give up that cash cow. Even though their greed is at the heart of this, they will eventually meet the players on the owners side of the middle. And, after a season of anger from the fans, all will be forgotten.

While there has been discussion on GID about larger Hispanic populations causing issues with football, I'm not sure that I buy it in whole. Demographic shifts are coming in broader swaths now. The country's recent numbers, at least as of 2020, show that, by national average, Whites are no longer the majority for public schools. They clock in at a tad under 46%. Hispanics check in at around 28%, with Blacks at around 15%. Asians, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, and those that identify as two or more races complete the pie with a bit more than 11% combined. While Indiana is still below average with regard to URMs and way above the average in terms of Whites ... at just a bit under 66% ... there's still a shift in play. Going back to the idea that Hispanic students have a potential impact on the strength of football in an area because "obviously they play soccer and not American football," of note is that the states that have large Hispanic populations in their public schools, as a percentage, actually tend to be known for their football. Among the states with more Hispanics than the national average in their public schools are football power states California, Florida, and Texas with roughly 55%, 35%, and 53% Hispanic students respectively. At the same time, Nevada has around 43% Hispanic and New Mexico has roughly a whopping 63% and neither would likely be tagged as the strongest football schools in the sate. Someone could certainly pick New Mexico and say, "See the more Hispanics you have, the more irrelevant your program would be because no one talks about football and New Mexico in the same breath." On the other hand, the large numbers of Hispanics, as percentage, in powerhouse states says that we just can't flat-out assume a linear impact on football when there's larger presence of Hispanic students. While the idea of demographic shifts certainly provide challenges, I think there's plenty of data out there as well as trends that show that the trend toward increased Hispanic populations isn't specifically a death knell for football in an area/state. There's also a big issue that folks need to consider in that Hispanics are not as monolithic as they are often assumed to be ... folks who live in Florida can attest to this first-hand. There's also the issue of FRL that people toss in there as well, but there's also data that points to that being less than definitive in football success than the linear presumption than is sometimes assumed. Back in 2015/16, the national average for FRL was around 50%. California, Texas, and Florida clocked in around 59% on FRL. Note that in that year, Indiana's percentage was just a bit below the national average at around 48%. The interesting thing though is that Mississippi clocked in at right around 75% FRL. You might be asking, "Why would Mississippi matter?" Mississippi ranked 7th in 2015 in percentage of their players that went on to play FBS ball with scholarship. Incidentally, Florida was #1 in percentage and Texas and California ranked #12 and #11 respectively. Incidentally, last year, Mississippi also ranked #1 in D1 scholarships per million residents and also ranked #1. When the study broke down positions, that ranking was also #1 across QBs, line, DBs, and receivers. It was only a single study, but an interesting place to start. Caveat: With all that said, and given that various groups are not as monolithic and different specific areas/schools have very different cultures, coaching issues, communities, etc., this is very much high-level analysis. I'm not as directly versed with Hobart and/or Portage or many other Indiana schools, so my info above is more for thought as opposed to being directly applied to a specific school.

It’s “death knell,” not “nail,” although come to think of it, that sort of works in a mixed metaphor kind of way. But you’re correct. It amazes me that people who have been so successful can be so tone deaf. Like Nero fiddling while Rome burned.

So those are the uranians Brandon was talking about in his state of confusion the other night.

Just a random thought. I wonder if MLB would take an idea from MiLB and use their method of scheduling (play the same opponent Tuesday-Sunday and Monday for travel). It would save on air travel and maybe hotel expenses. The way the major league game is, it is a bullpen game. It wouldn't effect pitching that much. Just a thought

George Karlaftis from West Lafayette ... attends Purdue for college. David Bell from Warren Central .. attended Purdue for college.

Math is hard for the IHSAA.

That explains why he can't do a Vlookup in Excel....LOL

Most states don't have the coaches providing any input into the post season assignment process. Some allow them to provide feedback that may be considered by the assigner. A handful go so far as Indiana and have it be the primary way crews are evaluated. I don't see Indiana changing that any time soon. Anything else would be more work than they want to invest in officiating.

Carmel announced a 4 game series with Penn starting in 2025

The commissioner is a North Posey grad, maybe he was trying to help us out! 🙂

The numbers for Mater Dei and Memorial were inflated as well. Mater Dei is 490-500 range and Memorial is 550-560 range. Both had totals 100-150 students above that. I just assumed they added a multiplier without telling anybody. 😃

More often than not, topics venture off track. Understand that a lot of people read this forum. That includes students, parents, fans, media, coaches, and administrators. Opinions about coaching styles, game plans, play calling, and things like that are ok. Getting into why a coach was dismissed often times is off limits. Dragging an individual through the mud and piling on are not acceptable. Please keep those things in mind while posting; thanks. Comments or topics that head down that path will be deleted if they are seen. A very recent topic was hidden for going down that path. But there are not enough of us moderating this site to see everything. keep that in mind as well. Thanks

Probably at the point to move this to @Muda69's forum??? My only comment regarding this and the other bill mentioned is that there is no coincidence that bills across multiple states are written using practically the exact same language, and included the exact same dates for deadlines. A few details and even the date in Indiana changed. But the fact is the driving force behind the for profit prison system, ALEC is also driving this as they have with every "reform" to education that has taken place in the last 15-20 years.

Marshall Fishback(Rochester)-285 Champ Played 3 tech and Guard. Marshall is a great kid. Some of his football honors are All-Conference 2 years. IFCA Junior All-State and Region 4 All-star on OLine. Rtc4 first team Oline. Did not make IFCA All-State this year because of the bs politics involved. He is also a Track guy. Near 50 ft in shot put and 140 in the disc. Only been wrestling for 3 years!

Not all encompassing and in no particular order: Where kids are more important than the team. Parents more concerned with position, playing time, and recruiting than winning. Where coaches aren't willing to put the time into preparation and/or building a program rather than just a team. Lack of or inconsistent culture. Bitching about opponents having unfair advantages. Avoiding playing teams that would make your team better. Unsupportive administration. Lack of a sufficient strength and conditioning program. Coaches who are unwilling to adapt their style to the different personalities of players and coaches. And obviously too many free lunches. 🙄
