State Law. And numbers don't lie.

Six high school football players have died in recent weeks. It’s time to take action https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/aug/29/high-school-football-deaths-public-health-crisis Are the ban hammers coming?

The Eagles have to get that youth feeder program developed, and also get some bit-o-honey dealers doing the rounds at the other Tippecanoe county football hotbeds.

Correct. Then by all means please start your own thread.

Tough week what with all the game cancellations, postponements, and early-calls due to the weather on Friday night. That said week #2 had it's share of RUTS misanthropes: Adams Central 43-0 Eastside Beech Grove 46-10 Jennings County Bloomington North 45-0 Bedford North Lawrence Brownstown Central 55-0 Charlestown Cambridge City Lincoln 45-0 Union County Centerville 53-7 Hagerstown Clinton Central 68 Faith Christian 0 Cloverdale 62-0 Edinburgh Columbus North 42-0 Columbus East Covington 39-0 South Newton Crown Point 42-8 Arizona College Prep Eaton (Ohio) 42 Richmond 6 Edwardsburg (Mich.) 48 John Glenn 8 Forest Park 42 Perry Central 0 Franklin County 54 Connersville 13 Gibson Southern 42 Mount Carmel (Ill.) 6 Griffith 49 Munster 0 Knox 57 Pioneer 6 Madison-Grant 58 Southern Wells 0 Merrillville 36 Hobart 0 New Prairie 56 Goshen 0 Noblesville 49 Homestead 6 North Daviess 49 North Central (Farmersburg) 6 North Posey 48 Princeton 7 Northview 44 Greencastle 7 Pendleton Heights 44 Anderson 0 Rensselaer Central 36 North Newton 0 Seeger 51 Benton Central 2 South Adams 49 Bellmont 7 Speedway 47 Owen Valley 0 *Springs Valley 75 Mitchell 12 Switzerland County 55 Gallatin County (Ky.) 6 Tell City 49 Eastern (Pekin) 0 Tipton 49 Elwood 0 Tri-County 44 Attica 7 West Noble 55 Wawasee 6 West Washington 39 Clarksville 0 * = Wins the RUTS offender of the week award Repeat Offenders: Centerville (2) Crown Point (2) Griffith (2) Springs Valley (2) Switzerland County (2) Tell City (2) West Noble (2) Repeat Victims: Anderson (2) Attica (2) Bedford North Lawrence (2) Bellmont (2) Goshen (2) Munster (2) North Central (Farmersburg) (2) North Newton (2) Perry Central (2) Southern Wells (2) Union County (2) Wawasee (2) Let's hope for better weahter this Friday, and better sportsmanship........................

Thank you Coach. Do you know if these wet bulb measurements were instituted as part of a state law passed by the Indiana legislature or are they recommendations and/or requirements from the IHSAA?

No. You win the internet.

I don't recall seeing the word "revolutionary" in the linked article. Can you please point out the sentence where it is used?

Not necessarily. It it why I asked the question. Umm, the parents of children that have died. Case in point: https://www.wthr.com/article/news/court-orders-new-trial-in-2001-football-death/531-2e0bf576-d522-45c6-8dc9-3cae9e39237a

I've always been told on this forum that High School Football is a dangerous game and children take a risk when choosing to participate. With the consent of a parent/guardian of course. Are all heat/humidity related deaths in high school football an act of negligence by some party?

Trump's Proposals Would Add $5.8 Trillion to the Deficit: https://reason.com/2024/08/28/trumps-proposals-would-add-5-8-trillion-to-the-deficit/ Yep, you can't have meaningful tax cuts without also a meaningful reduction in the size, scope, and power of the federal government. And these power hungry politicians, like Mr. Trump & Ms. Harris, are complicit in just kicking the deficit can down the road, dooming this country for our children and grandchildren.

Thank you for this info, Irishman. But these guidelines appear to be mainly for practices. What about actual games?

https://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/climate-change-high-school-sports-football-19723995.php Interesting law. I wonder how long before it spreads to other states. After all there is that saying "As goes California, so goes the nation."

Not really civil asset forfeiture, but clos enough: https://reason.com/2024/08/27/this-nebraska-man-almost-lost-his-home-and-all-of-its-equity-over-a-small-tax-debt-he-just-won-in-court/ State and local governments will stop at short of nothing to take your money and your property. Thank goodness for the U.S. Constitution, and it's lawful interpretation by the SCOTUS.

You'll put your eye out, kid. 🙂

Tennessee School Expels 10-Year-Old for Making a Finger Gun: https://reason.com/2024/08/27/tennessee-school-expels-10-year-old-for-making-a-finger-gun/ Wow. I remember as a child running around on the school playground with my friends playing "war". We either used finger guns or maybe a stick of some kind. As far as I know none of us ever perpetrated acts of mass violence against the school. But in today's age we would have been thrown out of school and our parents probably referred to CPS. Talk about government indoctrination and the repression of imagination............

You make an interesting point. But IMHO it all comes down to fixed costs. It takes a certain minimum amount of $ to maintain the physical infrastructure, pay salaries, etc. in a school corporation, regardless of how many students are in the building. So, here is a scenario. You have two neighboring rural school corporations. Let's call them CC & CP. Both have buildings with the physical capacity to each serve 1000 students, K-12. But with declining population growth CC's total enrollment falls to say 450, and CP's falls to 500. Doesn't it make financial sense, especially for the taxpayers, to consolidate CC & CP into one school corporation, and close certain buildings so that there is a much more efficient utilization of facilities? Ahh, I remember this article, but had forgotten the study was funded by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce.
