It's science.

Trump aims for Monday release after supporter drive-by: https://apnews.com/article/virus-outbreak-donald-trump-archive-d39bd670e8a280b6283abcdfc91d4794 Mr. Trump's ego truly knows no bounds.

The Case Against Trump: Donald Trump Is an Enemy of Freedom https://reason.com/2020/10/04/the-case-against-trump-donald-trump-is-an-enemy-of-freedom/ Indeed he is.

Yet for some strange reason they do exactly that. Why was the long-time traditional one-class basketball tournament, one of the best athletic events in the nation, split out to four enrollment-based classes? It sure as heck wasn't to increase attendance. No, it was mostly because smaller schools finally got sick and tired of feeding into sectionals where they inevitably ran into the buzzsaw of the larger, more powerful school. See places like Kokomo for prime examples. And in this age of "Johnny needs a trophy" and "all kids are special" what better way to feed that than to increase the number of trophies? AKA change the competitive balance of the game.

Please define "resources". We have heard time and time again how most of the major P/P's, that have cases full of state title trophies, almost always have meager resources when compared to their government school counterparts. What was the Success Factor if not a play by the IHSAA to maintain some semblance of competitive balance withing it's still primarily enrollment based class system? And open enrollment legislation virtually neutered the IHSAA in regards to properly policing transfers.

Feels good man. Go Colts.

Thank you for your support.

Yes. My criteria is that if any team is 35+ points ahead of it's opponent at the end of the game then it ran up the score. For several years I tracked such behavior in a spreadsheet and posted a popular weekly "Let's run up the score!" thread here on the GID containing the relevant information.

Trump in hospital after COVID-19 diagnosis: https://news.yahoo.com/trump-taken-to-walter-reed-hospital-for-tests-following-covid-19-diagnosis-212316884.html https://verysmartbrothas.theroot.com/if-youre-happy-president-trump-tested-positive-for-covi-1845252412

By my criteria New Palestine ran up the score versus the hapless Golden Bears. Why?

Whatever happened to the infamous Hurricane Scirfes?

When Trump was asked if he handled covid properly, he responded.... I’m positive

No, that is the role of government schools and their near monopoly on K-12 education.

I see the rules lawyers are coming out in force now. I wonder if any parent at any time in history actually moved his family to a different government school district for high school athletic reasons? Surely that could never happen? Why didn't they just enroll young Mr. Spegal at Cathedral and be done with it?

Thank you. With that mission statement one wonders why the IHSAA sticks it's nose into athletic transfers in the first place. After all are not all athletic transfers for wholesome, altruistic reasons? With the advent of cell phones and worldwide coverage your "area code" point is specious at best.

What is the role exactly of the IHSAA then?

https://reason.com/2020/09/29/inside-higher-ed-osu-professor-apology-sorry-football-mathew-mayhew-racism/?itm_source=parsely-api Mayhew's piece—co-authored with a graduate student named Musbah Shaheen, who has YET TO ATONE as far as I can tell—is too bland and mawkish for my tastes. It's filled with platitudes about how we may root for different teams, but deep down, blah blah, you get the idea. There's little in the way of original analysis or research here. Criticizing the piece is perfectly fine. It's also true that the college football industry does not always put players first; that black athletes face unique challenges, including in terms of their health, and especially during the COVID-19 pandemic; and that the college athletics industry too often renders education a secondary mission of universities. In light of all that, I would accept Mayhew's piece as a tad naive, or out of its depths. But his apology goes well beyond that: More: Even more: And those are just the highlights! Mayhew even thanks three academics who had evidently called him out initially for helping him come to terms with his racism. "I know they are taking a risk by partnering with me on this pathway," he writes, sounding very much like Winston Smith after a visit to Room 101. "I know that they are carrying a burden by even taking any time with me. I want to thank them." Is this real? Are James Lindsay, Helen Pluckrose, and Peter Boghossian up to their old tricks again? Can a person really be this sorry for… um… liking football? Mayhew is a real person, according to OSU's website. I emailed him to confirm that the apology is sincere. "Were you held hostage while you were writing it?" I asked. "Blink twice if this is actually you." Alas, he did not respond. On Twitter, New York magazine's Jonathan Chait notes that such a dramatic public apology is obviously weird and bad. "The obsequious tone of the groveling should be a red flag that there's something seriously awry with this mode of discussion," says Chait. Indeed, I find it odd that Inside Higher Ed's editors published it. Maybe they, too, are sorry. So very sorry. I sure hope they are sorry. This was a train wreck.

*yawn*

It doesn't. Nobody is make you read it Mr. Harvey.

That one of the unintended consequences of open enrollment legislation regarding government schools has become a scourge to the IHSAA. It started almost immediately with basketball (Indiana's game) and now with football: https://www.hoosiertimes.com/print-only-controversy-surrounding-indiana-high-school-athletic-transfers-shows-no-signs-of-abating/article_45b1e84a-6814-5055-ad1e-eefcbe4ab7aa.html https://usatodayhss.com/2019/indiana-high-school-basketball-transfers-have-become-a-growing-problem https://www.athleticbusiness.com/transfer-rule-challenges-increase-pressure-on-state-associations.html

In red even.

That's not the point I was trying to make.

Reading comprehension is not your friend, is it?
