Agree on all counts. And also why I said "should there" not "would there" be two Clay Township schools. Maybe if they named the existing campus Prada Carmel and the new campus Carmel Chanel they would go for it? (Only joking.)

I'll say two things.... One I don't see any way there would ever be a 2nd Carmel High School....it would be very difficult for them to find room to build it at this point, and I don't see the evidence that Carmel will continue to increase in student enrollment much more. I also have never gotten the impression there is a desire in the community to build a second high school. Two (and this is from my personal opinion on school "quality of life" ....not from an athletics/finance perspective). I've come to believe the "sweet spot" for high school size is right around 2,000 kids. Or maybe a range of a few hundred over or under that. A large enough school you have enough resources to offer a variety of quality programs to your students and community, but not so large that it becomes impossible to still participate in some of the traditional experiences of "high school life". We used to joke about how many trophies you could win with the last 5 kids cut from Carmel's basketball team, or the 2nd best swimmers in every event for Carmel girls swimming, etc, etc. When a school becomes massive...a lot more kids are locked out of those opportunities. There are only so many spots on the teams....so many characters in the play....so many seats on the student council. My 2 cents....likely worth as much.👍

Can’t say I’ve ever heard about max size for a high school by law. There is a statute that specifies maximum staff-to-student ratios, but that is for elementary schools.

I think its much bigger than that....while I have absolutely been on record that I don't appreciate Harbaugh breaking college rules, I don't believe for one second the violations were anything like USC experienced. I think if Harbaugh didn't have an excellent NFL option, he would have stayed at UM and rode out the hand slaps. I think after nine years at UM and what they accomplished this year, he had nothing left to prove and thus pursued his dream of winning a NFL championship. Nothing more. Harbaugh is a UM man through and through....Carroll had no ties to SC prior to arriving in LA. Its my opinion (for what is worth) that the sanctions (if any with today's NCAA) will not be that serious.

Purdue great Len Dawson smoking a heater and drinking a Fresca at halftime of Super Bowl 1.

IMHO, Harbaugh pulled a Pete Carroll, and got out of Dodge before the sanctions. At least in his own mind.

Haha. I'm rooting for greatness (Reid + Mahomes + Kelce + BIg George + Taylor Swift). And then I'll chuckle in the post game when Reid throws Nagy a bone and mentions his name. Good to see Gregory still around the NFL. That dude has nearly wasted every opportunity given to him with off the field issues.

im bored the hell have you people been up to? ive spent my winter harassing vegans on reddit but it just hasnt filled the void of football season

Did you read Mr. Hick's piece? Here are some of the unpleasant facts:

I'm sorry, but having the sun be down at 4pm during the winter would just be stupid.
