Kokomo fans don't tend to travel far from their home tavern. Just saying........................

Gate receipts would be very, very small.

I simply don't comprehend the statement.

Really? Others in this thread seem to believe it is reprehensible for a school to play another school 10x it's enrollment in the state tournament, but playing a school that is 5-6x the enrollment is ok. What is the cutoff point? Is the difficulty level really exponential when you compare school enrollments in regards to high school football, or it more like a bell curve?

A paycheck is a paycheck is a paycheck. And what a professional attitude. Maybe. Then football could move from being sponsored primarily by government schools to a club model, which is really where it belongs. Playing the long game...............................

On Medicare for All, Elizabeth Warren Is Fundamentally Dishonest: https://reason.com/2019/10/16/on-medicare-for-all-elizabeth-warren-is-fundamentally-dishonest/ In doing so, she has opened herself up to substantive attacks from her rivals, and undermined the core argument of her presidential campaign. Warren has presented herself as a kind of wonk populist whose mastery of policy detail and ability to communicate complex ideas are among her key strengths. Her campaign is structured around the idea that she knows exactly what she's doing—and that, as a result, you can trust her. What Warren made clear at last night's debate, and what she has proven over and over again on the campaign trail, is that only the first part is true.

Can somebody tell me the last time the C-ville football program could be considered "back"? According to Harrell's they have only had 2 winning seasons since 1994.

Meh, NCC schools are used to long travel times. It's two hours from Kokomo to Richmond, 2.5 hours from Logansport to Richmond.

I am. Along with promotion/relegation. Yep. Get better then move up to a higher classification bracket where the the competition is tougher, regardless of enrollment.

Again, why not?

Good point, and something I support.

So you would vote against Cathedral competing in the current 6A enrollment tournament? Are you saying they could not compete?

No, I'm not. Just recognizing that a primarily-enrollment based system doesn't work, and creates too much competitive imbalance regarding the state tournament. And so I'm putting forth a reasonable alternative.

So what is the correct 'x' factor when it comes to enrollment? Apparently it is ok for a Cathedral to play in a tournament with schools 5-6x their enrollment but not 10x? And in Indiana high school football whoever invests the long-term resources into building a lasting and successful program usually wins. Why should they not be rewarded by playing similar schools with similar goals?

So a true system of promotion and relegation would have no real affect on an outstanding, national level football program like Cathedral's. Thank you. And I'm not dying on any hill. Just promoting my ideas and opinions.

Yes, you make me chuckle as well with your stubborn adherence to the status quo. As long as it benefits Cathedral, of course. A p/p zealot to the core. Honestly that has yet to be determined. I'll let the mathematical whizzes and quants figure that out. I'm more of an idea man. ? Please elaborate.

Thought so. Just keep talking out the both sides of your mouth, decrying the evils of Sagarin on this thread while virtually extolling it's virtues in another.

Prove me wrong.

I only said Sagarin could be used for the initial slotting of teams into non-enrollment based classifications. I never said it would be the method going forward to determine what teams to promote and what teams to relegate.

Heh Heh. I understand. But the old law! FTA:

How much has been stolen and turned into joints? That appears to be one of the fears of government regulators.

Yes, it is a different sport. Here, you get a star.

Tell that to the real Indiana high school basketball tournament, pre-1997. Hmm, and think many here would have a problem with "champions" being the goal of high school sports. I've been told the opposite on this forum many times over the years. And the IHSAA is a voluntary organization. If a number of high school AD's don't like how they run the organization, then by all means form your own.

Again, that is your enrollment hangup, not mine. And nice dodge of the C-ville question. And you are assuming an all-in tournament format. That would mostly likely have to change as well, as discussed in a number of current threads on this forum.
