Ok. So you do agree that degreed, professional teachers are more competent at the athletic coaching of children.

? So you are saying that only coaches with a teaching degree are competent at teaching fundamentals and skills development?

That or the IHSAA needs to approve a co-op system.

Sounds like some government school consolidation is in order for Jasper and Starke counties. There are eight school corporations between the two counties, more efficiency is needed.

The big post-game spread is a big reason to schedule CMA, frankly the game is secondary. At least that is why I was told why Maconaquah used to play CMA.

There Are No Good Reasons To Subsidize Sports Stadiums. Governments Keep Doing It Anyway.: https://reason.com/2026/01/30/there-are-no-good-reasons-to-subsidize-sports-stadiums-governments-keep-doing-it-anyway/?itm_source=parsely-api These sports franchise owners aren't stupid. If they can get state or local government rubes to fund their projects on the backs of the taxpayers of course they are going to go for it. It's "free money" after all, right?

Just because due diligence failed in the past is no reason to abandon it now. If to you that means "different rules for different people" then so be it.

? This sentence seems structurally incorrect. Please try again. Ok, petition the NFL Hall of Fame to open an investigation of every single current member, looking for cheaters. If cheating can objectively be proven, then remove them from the Hall. And any future inductions need to be put on hold until the process is completed. Is that energetic enough for you? Because it seems that what you are saying is that because previous HOF members may have been give a pass regarding their cheating it's ok to let more current cheaters like Mr. Belichick and Mr. Brady into the HOF. I disagree with that sentiment.

Ahh, so only the "movers and shakers" get to pontificate their personal views. Got it. I didn't know you ran with that crowd. Thank you.

You want to get paid for volunteering? That doesn't make sense. And I guess in the world of professional sports multiple wrongs make a right.

Shot clock back on the table: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2026/01/29/indiana-high-school-basketball-shot-clock-coaches-association-proposal-ihsaa/88415395007/?tbref=hp Those "reasons" are specious at best. Still just say no to an Indiana High School basketball shot clock. Keep the game pure.

Sorry, I don't understand the equivalency.

Sorry, I'll take the opinion of a trained economist who has been researching and writing about this topic for decades over an organizer of industry conferences whose "article" is basically an advertisement for a "Pro Sports and Entertainment Facilities Summit".

Will you pay me an hourly wage for such research? Can you please expound on this statement? You seem to be saying "If they were a successful coach or player, then their cheating isn't a big deal." I don't recall this quote by the late Mr. Mudd. Can you please repeat it or link to it? Major League Baseball has been corrupt almost since it's inception. That's one reason why I mostly don't watch it. Some reading for you to educate yourself. Sounds like it will be a enlightening read: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/this-one-will-be-different-9780197820216?cc=us&lang=en&

Mr. Belichick and Mr. Brady are both cheaters, and both were caught doing it. They should never be in the NFL Hall of Fame.

That's the rumor: https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/bills-reportedly-interviewing-former-colts-qb-philip-rivers-head-coach

*goosebumps* But still 2nd behind the late Jim Nabors:

But how much "mentoring" will Mr. Brady be able to actually to import on young Mr. Mendoza? The GOAT has more Pizza Hut commercials to make for goodness sakes. He's a busy, busy man.

Yes, we can agree to disagree but just one more point. It should not be the job of government to "provide incentives", aka picking winners and losers, when it come to commercial and industrial development. Let the free and open market work that out without spending taxpayer dollars.

I remember when a young Mr. Able was on the coaching staff at Maconaquah in the 1980's.
