Colts select Ohio State and Center Grove star Caden Curry in the 6th!!!! 🏈

Hoosiers first time ever with 3 draft picks in the top 50....4 overall in the first 3 rounds. Ohio State...4 drafted out of the first 11 picks in the first round. Yet, lost to both IU and Miami this season. Coaching still matters......

Perhaps...2 1st round picks feels pretty pricey. Jets had a solid 1st round draft last night with 3 picks

I heard they all paint their nails......;)

I watched 2 players from Indiana University go in the first round of the draft....the first one taken was the first overall pick and the 2nd one taken is a local Indianapolis player I watched play in high school and college. Don't pinch me....I don't want to wake up!! Did Goodell say record attendance at over 300K attended last night?? Wow!

Getting closer to retirement Bob...but I hear you...find a different hobby!!!!

thanks for pouring salt in an open wound Coach...... Penalty flag thrown for piling on!!

What a dynasty.....I think other teams are starting to get the "point"...... Don't forget to tip your waiters....

NCAA? Does anyone in Div 1 listen to them anymore? Doesn't seem like Power 4 conferences pay much attention. (at least by the major revenue generating sports) OK..being a tad sarcastic....

16 year old? 18 year old?, etc. Because the risk there is as serious if not substantially more serious than you blanket statement about football.

there are absolute questions in the research as to why some people are impacted and why others aren't. There is not the blanket of everyone is impacted the same..far from it. If I followed your line of thinking, I wouldn't allow anyone to get in an automobile. Tell me, are you ok with that risk?

not sure they are willing to spend the cash to do so...some Big East teams must still have some dough to spend.

if you say so...how many times over the years have you pushed this? And its always in the same direction which is conclusive. I am saying the jury is still out...and more research is needed to understand the demographics truly at risk. My mind is open to the further research before drawing final conclusions. Can you say the same?

and not everyone is aligned with your statement.....additionally some individuals may be much more prone than others when it comes to CTE, but its not understood why. So it seems that blanket statements are not wise. But I fully acknowledge you will not be open to any view other than the one you align, so done going down your rabbit hole. Just suffice it to say, there is not total consensus who exactly is at risk. https://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/article/should-potential-risk-chronic-traumatic-encephalopathy-be-discussed-young-athletes/2017-07 In addition to studies on CTE, multiple studies have demonstrated brain changes on neuroimaging following concussion [11-16], but the long-term implication of these changes is currently unknown. Recently, there has been increased attention to the potential effects of repeated subconcussive head trauma on the brain. While this is most often discussed in relation to football, other contact sports, such as wrestling and soccer, also involve some degree of this type of head impact. A recent study of 25 youth football players found an association between cumulative head impact exposure and microstructural changes in certain white matter tracts over a single season in the absence of concussion [17]. Similarly, a longitudinal study of collegiate football players found white matter changes on diffusion-tensor MRI following one season of play in the absence of concussion; however, these athletes underwent repeat imaging after six months of rest from contact activity, and the white matter changes had returned to baseline [18]. At this time, there is not enough evidence to correlate changes in white matter to the subsequent development of neurodegenerative disease or functional deficits, especially in young athletes. Shared decision making regarding sports participation. Health care professionals routinely counsel young patients and their parents about the consequences of activities that could impact long-term health, such as drug and alcohol use, sex, diet, and exercise. Similar to inclusion of pediatric patients in discussions of how smoking can lead to cancer or how obesity can lead to hypertension and heart disease, we recommend that young people be included in the discussion of concussion and repetitive head trauma and the unknown risk of CTE. This discussion often requires a longer clinic visit. The physician should review the patient’s concussion history and risk factors for prolonged recovery with the family. There is evidence to suggest that prior history of concussion, younger age, history of headaches, and history of learning disability might be risk factors for prolonged recovery [9, 19, 20, 22]. Discussion of risk should be age appropriate and individualized, taking into account the child’s level of cognitive and emotional development [24]. It is important to be honest about the fact that, despite the available research on concussion and CTE, much remains unknown, including causation, incidence, and risk. Some young athletes and families are more willing to accept this unknown risk than others. https://news.umiamihealth.org/en/should-i-let-my-kid-play-tackle-football/ “This can be very concerning, especially in developing brains,” says Gillian Hotz, Ph.D. neuroscientist and Director of the Concussion Program at the University of Miami Health System, specializing in concussion, neurotrauma, neurocognition, and neurorehabilitation. “But a lot more research needs to be done. We still need to figure out who is high risk [for damage] and who isn’t. Why is it that some players can take hits but don’t develop neurological damage, and others do?”

@Muda69 I understood...my question was rhetorical. I see you chose to ignore my comment about accepting the risk of driving a car, understanding the fatality risks....not to mentioned life altering accident potential. Is there risk of playing football...yes. Is there risk is many other occupations and activities...yes. Do people make risk vs benefit choices in life....all the time. The impact to children with long-term CTE is very different than adults. That is based on the laws of physics...mass, rate of collision, etc. That risk is not apple to apple.

I understood...my question was rhetorical.

it is apples to oranges....what are the populations playing professional football vs hikers? How many people died in automobile crashes last year in the US? Can I state driving a car will kill you?? Does that prevent you from driving understanding the risk?

Tremendous growth...while at the bottom of 6A enrollment now, my guess that will continue to evolve and change. Wonder if their growth will force them to start evaluating other conferences? In the same sectional as Center Grove...will be good to start building a Johnson Country rivalry on the gridiron. They used to play some in the past, but stopped.

Crazy athlete with his speed and vertical jump. Physical for his size and very smart. Seems like a strong candidate for the nickel spot as well as a cover corner.

?? not seeing anything on Google or X.....what happened?

What was that all about?? Never quite seen a "celebration" like that......

Thanks for making an incredible difference over the past 25 years YG!! Good to know you will be opening up a new chapter to serve our youth!!

Not going to lie….Quenton looks great in IU football merch.

Your opinion is certainly shared…
