I'll leave the details of the implementation to you and the other mathematical braniacs at the IHSAA. I'm the big idea guy here. Meh, that gate was opened a long time ago when open enrollment legislation was instituted. Better for the IHSAA to just throw in the towel on that.

Not "regulation", relegation. Two different words. And the system is 100% divorced from school population. This wikipedia entry explains it nicely: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promotion_and_relegation

A true system of promotion and relegation is the correct answer.

Apparently the plight of former Colts HC Jim Caldwell is "Exhibit A" in Mr. Flores lawsuit against the NFL: https://deadspin.com/qb-guru-jim-caldwell-is-exhibit-a-in-brian-flores-lawsu-1848474551 At 67, despite being younger than Bill Belichick, Bruce Arians, and Pete Carroll, some ageist critics persist, which is laughable when you see the respects commands within an NFL locker room. Have they considered his age is an asset? IV. JIM CALDWELL AND THE RISE OF MATTHEW STAFFORD Brian Flores lawsuit does not get into Caldwell’s brilliant work with quarterbacks. But since the NFL has prioritized hiring former QB coaches and Offensive Coordinators, this article will. “I loved playing for him,” said Stafford last year. “I still remember when he was coming in for his visit. I got a chance to sit down and talk with him. And he blew me away. I wasn’t expecting that.” Stafford being “blown away” upon meeting Caldwell is another illustration of the massive respect gap between Caldwell’s former players, and NFL teams in charge of hiring. Then there’s this: Stafford Pass Rating: 83.1 Before Caldwell 93.7 with Caldwell 99.3 Last year with Caldwell (and without Calvin Johnson) Caldwell did not inherit the same quarterback Sean McVay did. Despite flashes of greatness, Stafford’s game had regressed in 2012-2013, and there were legitimate critiques of his fundamentals, footwork, arm motion, and over-reliance on forcing the ball to Calvin Johnson. Caldwell maximized Stafford’s talents by employing more quick throws, no huddles, and using spread offenses which uplifted both Stafford and multiple wide receivers who had breakout seasons (see Golden Tate and Marvin Jones). The Caldwell Offense prioritizes accuracy, discipline and schemes that increase easier completions while decreasing interceptions. Stafford and Manning had the same growth pattern. Interception Average Stafford: 18 to 11 per year after Caldwell Manning: 20 to 12 per year after Caldwell Not only that. Stafford and Manning never had a 65% completion rate in nine combined seasons before Caldwell, but exceeded 65% in 10 of 11 seasons with Caldwell. Do you think a young Justin Fields or Trevor Lawrence could use an elite veteran QB developer to help boost their completions and cut back their interceptions? Stafford would also suddenly become the king of 4th quarter comebacks posting more in only four years with Caldwell (16) than his other eight Lions seasons. Stafford credited Caldwell’s situational intelligence: “He’s a smart offensive coach,” Stafford told the Detroit Free Press in 2017. “He puts our team in the right situations to succeed, and that, in turn, helps me out.” V. JIM CALDWELL ENDURES FOUR YEARS OF RACISM Flores Lawsuit: “In the more than three years since losing the Lions job, Mr. Caldwell has not received any further opportunities as a head coach despite numerous openings and interviewing no fewer than five times for different positions.” The Bears recently interviewed Caldwell, but despite Justin Fields rocky rookie season, they’ve decided to entrust his critical future development to a former defensive coordinator. Caldwell also had some past interviews by teams with top-drafted young QBs, but those teams chose Freddie Kitchens to mold Baker Mayfield, Adam Gase to mold Sam Darnold, and Kliff Kingsbury to win a generational talent like Kyler Murray. He also watched Urban Meyer, Nick Sirianni, and Joe Judge get to develop Trevor Lawrence, Jalen Hurts, and Daniel Jones. Now there are reports Josh McCown is the favorite to win the Texans head coaching job despite only coaching his son’s high school team. How humiliating is that? I’m talking about these owners and general managers. But this is how whiteness works in the NFL. Caldwell being wrongly fired by one team is an injustice. Caldwell being ignored by the other 31 teams for four years is blatant NFL racism. It’s actually more than racism, it’s racial grand larceny. When clueless Matt Rhule gets a $60 million contract despite one season of NFL experience, and millions of dollars are rerouted yearly from superior Black coaches to inferior white ones, it’s time to take that money back. And if you can deny millions to Caldwell, you can deny Flores or any other Black coach.

Now you have Indiana taxpayers in effect funding government university athletic programs. The answer should be to immediately cut negative-revenue sports to the bone. You can't spend what you don't have.

Georgetown Suspends Ilya Shapiro, Student Protesters Demand Place to Cry https://reason.com/2022/02/01/georgetown-suspends-ilya-shapiro-student-protesters-demand-place-to-cry/ This level of emotional opposition to Shapiro might make Treanor inclined to fire him; it is not easy to go up against students on an issue like this one. Nevertheless, retaining Shapiro would be the right move—indeed, Georgetown's stated commitments to free speech preclude any other outcome. More than 100 law professors have signed an open letter calling on Georgetown to abide by its principles and end the investigation in a manner favorable to Shapiro. "Academic freedom protects Shapiro's views, regardless of whether we agree with them or not," they write. "And debate about the President's nomination, and about whether race and sex play a proper role in such nominations more generally, would be impoverished—at Georgetown and elsewhere—if this view could not be safely expressed in universities. Indeed, to the extent that people do think it's proper for a President to promise to fill a position with a member of a particular group, they can only have real confidence in that conclusion if they know that the contrary view can be freely supported and discussed, and has been found unpersuasive on the merits rather than silenced by fear of firing. That is famously the way academic discourse about science operates. And it is true for moral and political judgments as well." The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education rightly described Georgetown's investigation into Shapiro as an "embarrassing capitulation" and "antithetical to the tenets of liberal education." The best way to resolve this matter is for Georgetown to end the investigation and reinstate Shapiro so that everyone can move on. Boo Hoo, the sheltered and fragile snowflakes need a place to cry because words made them cry. Please, just grow up.

But why does Mr. Biden have to use the criteria "minority females" as the starting point for a supreme court justice search? Why is Black Women A automatically included in this search and White Woman B is discounted, when both are "highly qualified"? Why can't just Person A and Person B both be the pool of potential candidates?

No, not at all. Time on the bench would suffice. I would not go that far.

You were not here during the GID's glory days, during the public vs. p/p wars. Not all Roncalli folk from that era were excellent people. Rome wasn't built in a day. Might as well enjoy the carnage while I can. Do you play? Your ideas intrigue me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

And of course I'm sure this canard will be thrown out here in the near future to refute other studies: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fneur.2021.647314/full#h8 One only has to look at the Ethics Statement of this study to raise some major flags: One needs to take statements like: "These organizations were not involved in the study design, collection, analysis, interpretation of data, the writing of this article or the decision to submit it for publication." and "The remaining authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest." with a huge grain of salt. The NFL has to be willing to throw millions of dollars at studies that are designed to refute other studies showing that concussions have adverse effects to players later in life. If threatens their livelihood.

Wow, nice channeling of the great RebelDad of the Roncalli Horde. He as well thought that if one did not have at least a PhD in a given field along with about 20+ years of experience their views and opinions of that given field were automatically null and void. He must have been a real buzzkill at parties, probably just like you.

It is? Do you have a quote from a GID moderator? Because I can assure you that used to not be the case. The late, great Tim Adams was completely against profanity on this forum. If what you say is true then it is too bad the GID Admins have thrown away that portion of his vision. Yes. If the player is a starter then sit on the bench for at least the first 3 defensive or offensive series of the next game. Repeat offender sit on the entire bench for the next game.

Stephen Breyer's Retirement Is Good News for the Fourth Amendment https://reason.com/2022/01/27/stephen-breyers-retirement-is-good-news-for-the-fourth-amendment/

I have? And I believe that is a reaction provided by our very own GID administrators, so the use of it must be condoned. But since it hurts your widdle feeliing so much I'll just stick to the good old fashioned down vote for most of your non-value-added drivel and complaints.

And you are open-minded on this issue, Bash? Really? So nothing punitive. Got it.

So much for the once-vaunted GID profanity filter. Anyway, he's a good doctor though. And that is what matters. Nice to know white trash like yourself enjoys putting your children at risk of concussions that could greatly diminish their quality of like decades after their HS playing days are over. Would it have been worth the risk?
