temptation

All depends if Carmel/CG are a package deal. I don't think they are but those I have spoken to seem to be of the mindset its both or neither.

It’s already a grind in the HCC in nearly every sport (even more so than the MIC). In a few of the country club sports ALL EIGHT HCC schools are ranked in the top 25 in the state…and that’s WITHOUT Carmel or CG. I have a theory that coaches at places like HSE/Fishers sometimes get shorter leashes because of a lack of postseason success…due in large part to having to go through Carmel in every thing. Now you are gonna throw the Hounds in their conference too? That’d be a tough sell for me. In most circles, regardless of geography, it’s “Carmel vs the World.” We could see that play out here now that the leverage is on the other side.

Give it time. Were CG and Carmel to join/be accepted, Avon will not win ONE conference championship in any male/female sport. They'd better reconsider before its too late. Same goes for Franklin Central.

Dude has been a fraud from day 1 but it was covered up because he won. Turns out you can't fool GROWN MEN.

I ask you again…have I ever steered you wrong?

I’m sticking with Franklin Central and Avon as I’ve said for the past year. Maybe not immediately but eventually.

Man, the gap between the Big Ten East and Big Ten West continues to grow. The Big Ten title game seems like an annual formality. Thoughts? North: Minnesota Iowa Wisconsin Northwestern Michigan Michigan State Nebraska South: Illinois Ohio State Penn State Indiana Purdue Maryland Rutgers

Avon

100%…and it seems to have worked.

“Unfortunately, the brutal truth about this entire episode is that it is all about race.” Umm…

What was the issue? I’ve heard rumors.

But you’ve been saying for over a year it’s about revenue. Pick a plot line and stick with it dude.

We are starting to agree WAY to often...

Gimme a break man. Walk the halls at Ben Davis/Warren Central and tell me that athletics, specifically football is not king. They are lying to save face and paint CG and Carmel as the bad guys...and you are buying it.

Usually if I view something as "miserable", I eliminate if from my life...but you keep coming back.

At least January.

Never thought I would’ve said this 10 years ago but I feel like Carmel and Center Grove are in a position where they need the HCC more than it needs them…especially CG.

THE Big Ten East runners up. (Sorry, I had to. Good luck to the kid.)

I've shared all I can. I would gladly share some direct quotes with you via PM.

PM me.

Have I ever steered you wrong?

Those "involved."

Which shows their hand...they are tired of getting their teeth kicked in in most sports... You can't talk about of both sides of your mouth in stating that your conference is about "more than athletics" and "inclusion" while vying to "play the best" and do this with a straight face.

Proposal today, voting in January... Most common theme is that if principals were to vote as of TODAY neither school would be accepted as there is a lot of push back.
