One of my kids quit sports at around 12-13. He hated the sudden shift from learning the game and having fun while in "youth sports" to more "win! Win! WIN!" from the coaches when he got into middle school.

IU was just given the Kiss of Death for this upcoming season:

Really? So I, a taxpayer residing in Frankfort Indiana, is not required to subsidize a family, also living in Frankfort, whose exclusive educational choice is to send their children to the Clinton Prairie School Corporation instead of the Community Schools of Frankfort. Then why hasn't the portion of my taxes related to government education gone down?

Primarily private charity. But if individual community legislative bodies decided to create and fund a government school for those under the poverty line, then that would be up to them. Frankly we need a society that believes government should be the last choice for parents when it comes to educating their children, not the default.

Or we just abolish the mostly failing government school model and make parents 100% responsible for providing for the education of their children, be that homeschooling, private, or parochial.

They are using their political clout (because most of them have nothing better to do) to shape local, state, and even federal tax policy in their favor, while screwing over the younger population cohorts.

Shouldn't taxpayers have the right to choose the type of education they feel is best for their children, then have those taxpayer dollar directly fund it?

Illinois Plans Tax Break for Billionaires and the Chicago Bears. Everyone Else Could End Up Paying More.: https://reason.com/2026/05/27/illinois-plans-tax-break-for-billionaires-and-the-chicago-bears-everyone-else-could-end-up-paying-more/ Frankly, good. Please keep this rapidly expanding boondoggle in Illinois, where those taxpayers can continue to get financially raped by the politicians they continue to elect.

I don't think so? https://indianafootballdigest.com/contact-us/

So this "certain assistant coach" is pretty much the head coach. Or is this assistant coach gone once his son graduates?

Thank you. Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Maconaquah's short period of football success looks to be over, and greed is to blame.

Looks like the Indiana State Legislature is going to stick it's nose into the high school NIL issue: https://indianacapitalchronicle.com/briefs/lawmakers-to-study-property-tax-assessments-ahead-of-2027-session/ <sarcasm>Yay</sarcasm>

Looks like the details of the co-op proposal begin on page #7 of this document: https://www.ihsaa.org/sites/default/files/documents/05.04.2026 Board of Directors.pdf

I thought the existing proposal, where one of the schools had to have a 9-12 enrollment of less than 300, was sufficient to stop that kind of funny business by larger schools.

It was not approved, although the vote was close. Something like 10-8.

ND went after Indianapolis Cathedral. "AI" to the rescue:

The late Mr. Turner was also rumored to be the bankroll behind the (now destroyed) Georgia Guidestones:

"Fighting Irish"? Does the University of Notre Dame know about this blatant trademark violation? Or does Toledo Central Catholic has some kind of special dispensation?

I still don't see the need for a shot clock in Indiana High School Basketball. There is already a counter to "stall ball" in the existing rulebook. It's called the 5-Second Violation. Coaches need to actually teach their players how to play aggressive man-to-man defense in order to force such violations, along with turnovers. Yet it seems more and more coaches are content to play insipid zone defenses and just whine and complain about the other team holding the ball.
