I believe that if such a situation occurs the community supporting that educational institution, along with the duly elected school board, superintendent, and athletic director need to start asking some hard questions. Especially in this era of tight resources.

Thank you for your support.

I'm glad that not everybody shares your opinion. You seem to cherish Indiana high school football teams with 20+ long losing streaks. How does that make the overall sport better?

I was going to say LCC and their departure from the Hoosier Heartland for the greener pastures of the Hoosier Conference.

That Indiana High School football is struggling. With overall competitive balance.

But why can't South Adams be an "outlier" like the Charard's and Cathedral's of Indiana? With open enrollment and creative marketing South Adams could be the football factory of northeastern Indiana, right?

They just need to develop more government school programs "punching above their weight". I still don't believe NUMBERS is a big of factor as you make it out to be.

If you would have actually read this thread I have not advocated for a multiplier, but a system of relegation/promotion.

Please explain this numbers argument. Chatard brings say 45-50 to the sideline, Carmel being a mega school brings what, 400? Come now......................... And you haven't really logically explained that reason, yet. Because the size of the school in the end analysis really isn't that important, that's why. I believe it to be more like a bell curve in terms of competitive advantage, not exponential like you seem to believe. Unless your are an OUTLIER of course............

So only Cathedral gets the opportunities to be an "OUTLIER"? Why can't the likes of South Adams get that sort of shot?

At least get their hopes up a little bit............

A non-answer. And you stubbornly seem to stick to the notion that the higher a school enrollment's the higher the competitiveness of that school's football program. Hasn't the like of your precious Cathredral proved that notion wrong, time and time and time again? Yesterday I posted the following: Nobody seems to want to take that on, probably because it is just easy to assume the smaller a school's overall enrollment is then the less competitive it's football program must be.

And yet yesterday I asked you why you so firmly believe this. You still have yet to answer.

But, but, according to some on this forum using Sagarin you could have a tournament where a school of 300 has to play a school of 3000. Is that fair?

Just to clarify the bolded portion of your statement. By "class" do you mean enrollment?

Just shows that raw numbers don't mean all that much. Apparently you need the OMG! Athletes, identified and developed from an early age.

All but one home game, and one away. How many of you been to this year?

Good. It is my understanding that under the current open enrollment legislation a government school district is not compelled/forced to accept transfers from other school districts. Can't they always say "Sorry, we can't accommodate any additional enrollment in the the high school at this time due to X, Y, Z."?

I don't see anything coming, but change is inevitable, is it not?

Things can change.
