Nice attempt at moving the goalposts, Whitehat. No, your original question was, and I quote: Name one 3A public school that received $901 million in IDEA grants in 2020. I'll wait.

As shown in the excellent information FarmerFran just provided your estimate is probably way, way off. Can you please share what Indianapolis Lutheran's entire annual operating budget is?

Covid was the impetus for many parents to realize that "traditional school", be it run by the government or a private/parochial entity, may not be the best environment for their children's education. Hence the drop in traditional school enrollment across the nation: https://fortune.com/2023/02/09/how-much-did-enrollment-drop-k-12-high-school-pandemic-covid-education/ https://apnews.com/article/homeschool-diploma-louisiana-nonpublic-school-a37a44dab69f11e2c37132549f9cd450

Thank you for confirming that. You forget the special education kids as well. Too expensive to keep around.

I see we have a number of p/p zealots whining about decreased enrollment in their buildings. Why is this? Is tuition to expensive? Are the academic/religious/behavior expectations too strict compared to their government school counterparts? Are families not producing enough new Catholics/Christians/Lutherans/etc. to fill the halls?

Mr. Osterman at the Indy Star weighs in on some potential replacements for Mr. Allen: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2023/11/26/indiana-hoosiers-football-tom-allen-fired-iu-coaching-candidates-justin-frye-antwaan-randle-el/71678895007/

Go Wildkats.

Mr. Meyer, of course.

"Mr. Tom Allen, your new head coach of the Indiana State Sycamores." OR "Mr. Tom Allen, your new head coach of the Ball State Cardinals.: OR "Mr. Tom Allen, your new head coach of the Depauw Tigers:.

With something like 50% of those wins without Harbaugh on the sideline. The guy is probably going pro, does Michigan really need him?

So who is going to write the $20 million dollar check to get right of Mr. Allen at IU? Mr. Cuban, Mr. Mellencamp, or maybe a combination of both/several rich alumni or boosters?

Three p/p schools, whose total constituency make up probably around 10% of the football playing schools in the IHSAA, have just taken home 50% of the available state championship trophies. The p/p hegemony continues unabated, with the "success factor" doing little more than rearranging the deck chairs. This will continue as long as the IHSAA stubbornly sticks to a primarily enrollment based classification system, and not a system that truly measures the historical success, or lack thereof, of Indiana high school football programs.

Please expound on this. Sounds like a football co-op situation, which I didn't think we had in Indiana?

Yes. Don't you? https://www.financialsense.com/contributors/ron-hera/fifteen-fundamental-problems-with-fiat-currencies

City speed wins the first one.

From the IHSAA website: Another reason I stay away.

So 96-0 (never forget) is still a real possibility.

May stream one or two games from home. I refuse to support the government boondoggle known as Lucas Oil Stadium with my hard earned cash.

Yes, boys soccer and baseball would be very competitive in the HHC, and those are the two sports they have been the most competitive overall. Boys soccer won the Sagamore conference title this fall, their 2nd in a row. And baseball were LCC regional champions this past spring in 3A. And I don't think every HHC school offers soccer yet, looking at you Clinton Central.

Agreed. I've been saying this for a number of years. Frankfort boys basketball opens it's 2023-24 tomorrow night with it's traditional first game against Clinton Prairie. The Gophers are favored, as they should be. Students in increasing number of fleeing Frankfort for CP.

If there was ever a game that looked like it was staged by the NFL/MSM "powers that be" it was this one. That or Goff was able to shake off his hangover/high just in time.

So you are saying a fast 40-yard dash time is not a desirable trait for a football player?
