I'm aware of a case where both schools said it was not athletically motivated, yet public school did not sign the waiver. IHSAA was very interested in the relative success of the two schools when it came to the IHSAA appeal. The Commish made a point of making sure the review committee knew which program was enjoying sustained success and which program was on the decline. Down here, it very much depends on where the student wants to transfer.

I agree with DT that its an endless, unwinnable argument, but it does pass the time... Over the last few years, GS would clearly have been in the discussion for an SIAC title. Who else from the PAC?

But will they still do this? https://twitter.com/TrojanMediaPro1/status/1459611301072838658?s=20&t=2cVJn1z5ovm8AfueO6mj1Q

The IHSAA gets no revenue from the Sectionals. They get almost all the revenue from Regional, Semi-State and State. Its why they have no incentive to devote what little brain power they have to a seeding plan for sectional.

You do?

It seems to be a logical spot for Vincennes Lincoln to find a better competitive fit.

That is the "displacement theory" the IHSAA Commissioner relies on in part to deny full eligibility transfers.

Mr. & Mrs. 812 are the King and Queen of local HS sports media.

I like GS chances to get back to LOS.

@ShakeDowntheThunder.. I agree 100% D1 is a tough, tough level to reach and so much goes into it beyond the playing field. Look at it this way.. In recent years, the winningest programs in SW Indiana have been Memorial and Gibson Southern. Memorial is 69-14 and GS 58-13 over the last 6 seasons. I believe the two schools have combined to produce 5 D1 athletes - Drew Hart (EKU), Mike Lindauer (UC/SIU), Branson Combs (SIU)and Ray Brodie III (IU track) from Memorial and Brady Allen (PU) from GS. I believe Sloan Cox from GS may have signed D1 for shot, but I'm not positive, so maybe it is 6. If you look at each of those kids, they had something that absolutely set them apart from everyone else on the field in pretty much every HS football game they played.

Yes. My guess is things changed when the "new" rules were put in place.

Will be interesting to see how the QB situation unfolds on Highway 41.

Tigers did not have an answer for the Power Toss to Mike Bone, or anything that could be described as a passing game. Watched that one with my 8 months pregnant wife and then went back to our luxurious pad at 14th & Penn...

Cold, crisp, easy drinkin' with no bitter aftertaste. Oh wait, that's Busch Light...

Made mine last night. Thanks for getting this rolling.

I meant Deke, not Derek! good list!

Trying to think of them.... I can remember Kevin Hardy, Derek Cooper, Levron, Ty Browning. Who else?

Not being argumentative, but who from the SIAC in recent times (say last 3-4 yrs) do you think had D1 talent that didn't go D1? From Memorial, I would say the players we've had in recent times who had "D1 talent" (or maybe the correct description is D1 size/talent) all went D1 - Drew Hart ('18 to EKU), Michael Lindauer ('19 Cincy to SIU) & Branson Combs ('19 to SIU). We've had a lot of other players who were very good HS players, but they weren't D1 caliber players.

BINGO

Good Lord...

Bump to page 1. Nobody puts Baby in a corner ...

None of us down here in SW IN know the mascots of the Indy mega-schools. I figured Bears62 was for the Chicago bears too. Now nobody can ever say I didn't defend a GS fan....

Not since 2018...

No. The IHSAA cannot stop a kid from participating in a camp during moratorium.

They can't block the transfer. They only control the athletics. With limited eligibility he can participate in everything except a varsity game. Meanwhile his former teammates who transferred to Reitz will be allowed to suit up every Friday night. So glad the IHSAA is all about protecting the kids.
