Agree

I fail to see how your idea would be more competitive. You're plan encourages tanking to get into a lower tier tournament. If school A knows it has no shot against the top 2A teams because it is ranked 63 in the class, but has a shut at winning a 1a title against teams of similar caliber, why not lose the last 2 regular season games.

It is a fun debate, but you are correct. The IHSAA loves the all in system. Most of the state is fine with it. Going to take a tremendous amount of change in leadership and motivation to see anything different happening. It is fun internet fodder, but those who want change, are not connected to leadership roles.

After a few years, you could get a good feeling of what schools would be borderline.

If I am a borderline team, what is stopping me from playing younger players the last two weeks to give them experience and resting my starters. In a round about way, they are intentionally losing so that they would be a 2a school rather than a 3a school. It would help the young players get playing time and let the older kids be 100% healthy for a tournament run.

When would you divide them up? Prior to the season, mid season, post season?

Nahhh, travel would be atrocious. This idea is a cluster truck.

Who is the IHSAA?

What is meant by "pure" choice?

If you would like to see a cluster system talk to your local principal and/or head coach.

Nahh

Talk to your principals and coaches. If you want change, those are the most likely people that can make change happen.

I blame the principals and coaches.

Agree... On this board we are all very centric, but every school brings something positive in a few sports.

I know Glenn and LaVille get some students, some are probably heading to Mishawaka, you have a number of private schools, and the charter school up there is getting more and more students.

I believe this was announced months ago.

Jaylon Smith.

I would put Ohio State ahead of LSU, but tend to agree with everything else. I am an ND fan, I think they are Top 10, but not Top 5 and way behind Top 3.

I think Glenn will win a tight one. Something seems of with LaVille, I thought they would be playing a little better right now. This will be a slugfest that will go late 4th qtr before being decided. Should be fun.

Hmmm, how do you feel about the color green? Never know, down the road.

How do you feel about it?

I don't know if the powers that be in CMA want a conference for all sports.

I am just throwing this out there. Would CMA to the NIC South for football only be something that would be worth pursuing? I say that because I would like to see more strength in this division with Marian moving North.

Predictor tool has RC as a 10 pt favorite. Based on history (which doesn't mean much) and week to week schedule, I would tend to think the Bombers would win.
