Thank you. Well IMHO this is a case of national significance, highlighting the unconstitutional scourge of asset forfeiture occurring across this great nation by federal authorities all the way down to local police departments.

If this new league is successful (ie. makes lots of $) then sure it cold provide a roadmap for certain schools/conferences to thumb their nose at the NCAA and leave that organization.

Step one: Form a commitee Step two: ? Step three: Profit!

Can you please enumerate some of the most common factors, for those of us without a formal legal education?

This "district investment" is yet another reason why the IHSAA should drop it's primarily enrollment based classification system and go to one of pure promotion/relegation. Then these factors like socioeconomics, "working hard", and district investment in a football program would ultimately be in the mix of where a school is classified. The current enrollment based classification system for the most part (ie. success factor) ignores these factors when it should not.

Team Blue Should End Its Unhealthy Obsession With COVID-19 Panic Porn https://reason.com/2021/04/19/team-blue-should-end-its-unhealthy-obsession-with-covid-19-panic-porn/ Masks have been an important tool in slowing the course of the pandemic. There's a strong case to be made that the unvaccinated should still wear them when they gather in large numbers in indoor spaces. But there's never been a particularly good reason to require masks outdoors, and that's doubly true for the vaccinated. Could a vaccinated person suffer a breakthrough infection, and then spread the disease during outdoor contact to an unvaccinated person who gets very sick or dies? Yes, it's theoretically possible, but we're starting to get into hit-by-lightning chances here. In no other context would we accept that this level of safety is insufficient. On his show over the weekend, HBO's Bill Maher delivered a terrific monologue on the subject of COVID-19 paranoia among Team Blue. Maher referenced a fascinating December 2020 survey result from Gallup that found Democrats wildly overestimated the odds that someone who contracts the virus will need to be hospitalized. Some 41 percent of Democrats thought the hospitalization rate was higher than 50 percent—in reality, it's between 1 and 5 percent. "If the right-wing media bubble has to own things like climate change denial, shouldn't liberal media have to answer for how did your audience wind up believing such a bunch of crap about COVID?" asked Maher. Whenever I tweet that post-vaccination outdoor masking is unnecessary, I am inundated with hostile feedback from liberals who stridently assert that the performance is important because it sends the right message and puts other people at ease. Well, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) probably puts some people at ease, too—but it shouldn't, because removing our shoes and belts before we get on a plane doesn't make us any safer at all. The TSA is a massive waste of time, money, and energy, and the American people have put up with it for more than 20 years. If we don't want pandemic restrictions to become the new airport security, there needs to be pushback: Get vaccinated, and then get back to normal. Agreed. Stop listening to and watching the covid-19 panic porn.

No, it's not. A beautiful country facility, everything that high school football , a game played by children, should represent.

Biden Set to Push Critical Race Theory on U.S. Schools https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/biden-set-to-push-critical-race-theory-on-u-s-schools/ Yet another reason why the unconstitutional U.S. Department of Education should be abolished. This blatant attempt to bring race politics into K-12 classrooms across the nation is heinous and immoral.

No, DK. I beg to differ. The moment you began accepting donations to keep the GID and running, it became a product. Much like the "shareware" programs of old. Such software products had little to no to marketing behind them, yet they were products all the same.

I hope you are as well, Bobref. Another question is will Tom Allen or Brian Kelly still be coaches of their respective teams by 2030? Odds say probably one if not both of them will have moved on by 2030.

Much like you, Dante.

Radical Chic Real Estate https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/radical-chic-real-estate-marxist-patrisse-cullors-black-lives-matter/ More: She owns two more houses worth over $1.5 million. “Champagne socialist” doesn’t even begin to describe it! So, last night Cullors went on a friendly TV broadcast to explain that she’s using her money to help black people … and the black people she’s helping are her family members. Seriously, that’s her argument: Here’s a story about the interview, including an embed of the entire thing. Excerpts: Phony, phony, phony. Race hustling and woke capitalism have been very, very good to Patrisse Cullors. Meanwhile, Twitter put black journalist Jason Whitlock in Twitter jail for daring to criticize the posh Marxist, and Facebook wouldn’t let its users share the New York Post article on Cullors’ property buying. The Post editorial board writes: The Woke & The Powerful will always protect each other. Count on it. It’s a racket.

Court-Packing Bill Is an Attempt to Intimidate Sitting Supreme Court Justices https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/04/court-packing-bill-is-an-attempt-to-intimidate-sitting-supreme-court-justices/ Mr. McConnell is correct.

Speaking of college, this was recently part of a Frankfort High School daily newsletter: And this particular company has recently advertised it's looking for experienced plumbers, compensation for them up to $100,000 dollars a year. Sorry, I don't see how your average English or Library Sciences degree from a traditional 4-year college can compete.

I firmly believe that most Indiana High School football fans these days are not interested in the honest debate of issues surrounding their team and/or sport. Instead they flock to other social media outlets where confirmation bias and navel gazing are the norm. It makes them "feel good", and that is all that matters, right?

As an I.T. professional with 30+ years experience I beg to differ.
