The fact they motioned the big dude directly behind QB to do this with intent at the snap isn't enough??????🤪

The proposed problem is Marion County though....correct? Not LOS specifically. CG would be an option....some HCC schools.

So reward unsuccessful programs for (possibly) tanking??🤔

I thought a version of this was the way to go back when it got introduced..... Take out the 6A (top 32, 16, whatever). Average the rest out in 5 classes. Combine that with a 3 year "rolling" success factor. I just don't see the IHSAA ever going back to only 5 state championship games when they could sell tickets for 6. I personally think 6 is a good number. You can comfortably play 3 games in a day and it makes Fri/Sat after Thanksgiving a solid weekend of Indiana Football. Not saying it would be bad....just an observation. Chatard would be the hot girl at the party🤪

Difference between 1 & 16 in 6A = 2690 (Carmel and LN) Difference between 16 & 32 in 6A = 561 (LN and Jeffersonville) The 6A problem is really Carmel & BD....or possibly the top 5. But once you get down to 3500 there is a pretty steady decline through the rest of the class. As far a success factor, I would be open to a "rolling" 3 year success factor...but that would require a readjustment of classification every year. A lot of 4-5A schools would be fighting to schedule 2-3A PP's in their non-conference schedule.

The fact that IHSAA website still has the "normal" state finals info on its website tells me that all of this is currently under consideration.... Apart from questionable weather, would hosting the games at "neutral" metro schools be "easier" from a social distancing/sanitation perspective? I'm bored and just thinking out loud. I also have almost zero experience in game administration. But its an open forum....so🤷‍♂️

Nothing on IHSAA website other than what has been there for recent seasons.... Somewhat off topic, but remember that IHSAA is going away from the 1A/3A/5A day and a 2A/4A/6A day. This year they are setting the finals to be more "geographically friendly"... https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2020/07/02/ihsaa-changes-football-state-finals-schedule-voting-eight-man-football-proposal/5368098002/ FTA "This year, as voted by the IHSAA executive committee, the state finals matchups, dates and times will not necessarily be played in its usual format. If matchups allow, schools from a similar geographical area may be grouped into consecutive games or at least on the same day. The schedule will now be announced following the semistate games."

Abundance means a "large amount of something".....by referring to their level of caution as an OVERabundance I think you are subconsciously arguing that logic #Freud 😇

Does this school "not far away" happen to have 3 ft OL splits?🤔

The optics would be bad for anyone who knows where the gate money goes for those ticket sales.....

It will be interesting if crowd sizes are allowed to increase at regionals and beyond....

I'm fairly biased towards Westfield.....but to be fair, Westfield is a lot more like Fishers than it is Danville. Hamilton Heights would be a better comparison to Danville. Westfield enrollment is about 2,500 and will be getting closer to 3,000 in next five to ten.

Does the IHSAA get the money for 1st round sectional ticket sales???🤔

I posted this in the other thread....but the matchups for 6A sectionals ened up pretty close to how you'd seed them. Blind squirrels and nuts they would say....😂

Is it just me....or did 6A sectionals turn out almost like they were seeded? Maybe not the Home/Away....but at least the match-ups.

It is an abomination to man that Indiana is on Eastern Time. Anytime the school start time debate happens, I find it interesting that people suggest starting school at 9am is the only answer to "kids shouldn't be waiting for the bus in the dark" issue. Ummm...what do you expect when your state is on the same time as the Atlantic Seaboard.....maybe putting the state on a time that makes astronomical sense would be the "A" answer. (Bias alert: I also would like MNF, to start at 8pm) Running joke between my region/Chicago buddies whenever they come visit...."Hey, hope that 30 minute drive went well...Welcome to the East Coast!"

Why??🙄

Get well soon Coach!

I’ve been to MANY places that are designed around the premise of family units that can be together....and spaced from other similar units... Dentist/Doctors offices, restaurants, Indy Zoo, etc, etc, etc I think there are a great many, in current practice, mechanisms to handle exactly this. However, whether or not common sense would prevail is a completely different discussion....

A family unit shouldn’t have to socially distance. If Jimmy’s Mom, Dad, and baby sister want to come they shouldn’t have to spread out. I don’t see there being an issue allowing each athlete 2-4 “family” unit members depending on the size of team/stadium/ etc

Posted in general as well....

The way I read this a school can still have a Marching Band, they could still play on Friday nights....they just aren’t having the big competitions?

Should be rephrased to what happens when you FIND out 5-20% of your team is ALREADY infected and asymptomatic? Keep in mind some of the things we do KNOW about all this. Most people are asymptomatic (especially young healthy people - high school athletes). It would go without saying, temperature checks will NOT identify these individuals (which will be almost all of the players who are positive). However, once someone tests positive and the contact tracing starts....expect to find that anywhere from 5-20% (based on reported data) of a "random" population will test positive for either COVID or Antibodies. I teach Human Anat/Phys and Vertebrate Zoology. I promise you my kids did not get what they should have from the course. They did ok with the watered down version they were forced into. re: Grandpa & Grandma being forced to make the decision about having a burger with their grandkids. Total red herring question. Are these kids NOT going to school? Football should not be in the calculus for that decision, if you are worried about that...the kids are already riding buses and sitting in classrooms with hundreds/thousands of other kids each day. That should already force that decision. Here's the reality....unless we go back to eLearning, kids are going to be in class and on buses much like they always were (schools may tell you otherwise, but I don't see it). Football or other sports is NOT significantly raising their risks above what they are encountering during the school day.

Players CANNOT use “communal” water sources. But water must be provided. I assume this means they need to bring their own bottle, and school must have a place to refill those? That restriction doesn’t seem to disappear after phase 1. I think most staff’s will find ways to make this work. I’m more curious about the return to school recommendations and how that will work. How closely do schools need to adhere to these “considerations”? Or are they “guidelines” in the Pirate Code sense? If they are expected to be strictly adhered to, things will be far from “normal”. Interesting that the state asks for schools to discuss liability with the district insurance provider (pg 4). I struggle to see high schools being able to function anywhere close to “normal” if these are thought of as strictly adhered to “rules”. @Bobref...enlighten us!!!
