Exactly. They are like a separate city-state. Not too dissimilar to Chicago and it's surrounding environs.

We'll see what the police investigation reveals, but if all of these allegations are true then the Indianapolis Archdiocese probably won't have any choice but to perform a wholesale firing of Roncalli administrators and coaches. What kind of charges can be brought against the students who allegedly perpetrated these disgusting acts?

Here's to many more years as the Hot Dog's scorekeeper. And a minor nitpick: "Case Arena was a magnificent high school gymnasium"? I contend that it still is a magnificent high school gym, one of the best in a state full of magnificent gyms.

Maternal Care Scandal in Britain’s NHS Reveals Human Costs of Socialised Medicine: https://mises.org/wire/maternal-care-scandal-britain’s-nhs-reveals-human-costs-socialised-medicine What a horrible, horrible tragedy. And the root cause was a socialist system.

Purdue’s Mitch Daniels, after calling black scholar ‘rarest creature,’ says he’s ‘misunderstood’: https://www.jconline.com/story/news/2019/11/23/purdues-mitch-daniels-after-calling-black-scholar-rarest-creature-says-hes-misunderstood/4275353002/ Yet another college liberal looking to be "outraged" about something. How about actually you know, concentrating on your classes and your education, supposedly the reason you decided to enroll at a fine institution like Purdue University in the first place?

And where are they now? 1-9 IIRC, just two years after reaching the state title game. Just goes to show how that "once in a decade" class of "OMG! Athletes!" make or break most government school teams, especially in the lower enrollment classes. p/p schools with their inherent advantages, like long established youth feeder programs, make the dip in talent much less and much more manageable at the high school varsity level.

With 50% of the 12 schools in the state finals being from the Indianapolis Metropolitan urban sprawl (Marion + the surrounding doughnut counties) perhaps it is time for the IHSAA to consider a separate tournament structure.

*yawn* Another MIC 6A "state championship". *yawn*

An update on this issue from an Indy Star article. Signs point to a split coming in 2020: https://www.indystar.com/story/news/nation/2019/11/22/united-methodist-church-progressive-conservative-split-lgbtq/4233406002/

In the context that you published this commentary it is the Indianapolis Star, a private entity and your employer, that allowed you to voice your opinions on this matter. The government, and therefore the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, has nothing to do with it. Indiana University, being a public entity, has to follow the First Amendment. The Indianapolis Star does not. Frankly IMHO this simple, basic, misunderstanding of the First Amendment calls her entire little rant into question.

Let the lawsuits flow.

https://www.indystar.com/story/news/education/2019/11/21/indiana-university-professor-eric-rasmusen-defends-tweets/4259448002/ Umm, are not the individuals who attend Indiana University adults, and should be expected to defend themselves against being "harmed by biases"? Methinks this one course may be the last Mr. Rasmusen teaches at IU Bloomington.

The initial slotting would be by their W-L records, tournament success, etc. over an agreed on period of time.

You are welcome. Have a nice day.

And exactly what information do you require from me?

Sure, may be a better backup than Chase Daniel.

Take a swipe? Not a all, just looking for information. A might touchy, aren't we?

Nice little rant. Is what you described also the SOP at the Lafayette Catholic School System?

"Get better or get used to it", right? That has been the mantra of many here on the GID for years. And isn't getting moved back down a class via the current success factor mechanism effectively a demotion, while moving up a class is a promotion?

Yep, which is why signing Mr. Kapernick to a short term contract and letting him play does no real harm, and may end up being a surprising move.
