Irishman

I am thinking this will be cool to see as the season goes ….not sure what to expect though, but still cool.

I hear ya Steph

To clarify, the cluster system started in 1983. Prior to that, there was a point system to qualify.m

Considering the NFL has a salary cap, and MLB does not, this is crazy.

Still the Irishman…and I am willing to bet dawgie is STILL shoving playdough up his nose. 🤣

I never said they would have. Wasting time on hypotheticals here is pointless. My comments are based solely on what has actually happened. I have explained multiple times what expansion would do….bring in line the number of federal districts with the number of justices. Being an “originalist” is a joke. Do you mean the one the States originally ratified? When slavery was legal, but slaves were counted as 3/5 of a person? Did not allow women to vote? Or after slavery was made illegal? after white women were given the right to vote? Or when minority women being able to vote? Or does each originalist just get to pick and choose which amendments matter and which ones don’t?

Who was picked was NOT the point at all. My point, which I figured was REALLY obvious was that McConnell refused to hold hearings for Garland because he felt the incoming President should pick the next nominee. Trump was on his way out, but he did not wait to hold the hearings for Coney Barrett. Really disappointed I had to spell that out. And yes, there actually is justification for expanding the court, as I explained earlier........crazy how one sided you have become now.

Seriously? Never figured you would become so partisan to only see one side in this instance, one that has been so obviously partisan. Merrick Garland ring a bell? Then to do the exact opposite with the Coney-Barrett nomination? Granted, RBG's gamble bit the democrats BIG time. She should have retired while Obama was President. What would be the justification for expanding the court beyond the number of federal districts? What is the justification for having fewer justices than districts? The reality is that it will be viewed as stacking by the opposing side.

The claim could easily be made that the GOP packed the current court though. It's not as though the number of justices serving has been set in stone. If the point of expanding to 9 was to have one justice per federal circuit courts, then with the current 13 districts, it makes sense to match that, right?

Will be interesting to see how that plays out. If NBC just says no, will that push ND into a conference? Just seems NBC has lost interest over the last few years; especially when moving games to the recently extinct NBS Sports Network and this last season to the Peacock app.

He is in the FO stage of the FA&FO process Word was he wanted to be Governor next. I think this attention he has sought hurts him. Looks like he is struggling on the fundraising side as well. https://indypolitics.org/campaign-cash-4/

A friend mentioned the page to me around 04, and this is what it looked like then. Great find.

I agree....that is why it was such a surprise the IHSAA declared him ineligible.

For the first time I have ever been aware, we had a kid transfer in.... Dad had an apartment in the district, while mom lived in another district. He transferred mid year and was in our building the 2nd semester. The school he left challenged the transfer, even though there was an address change. The IHSAA ruled him ineligible, so he was basically forced to go back to his previous school. That type of thing happens so often with no questions or issues.

A former IHSAA Exec Committee member is an assistant superintendent in our district. her claim is that it may happen, but has been in discussion for years. She also claimed it would only be allowed after a student's freshman year. And I agree, the system has long been broken.

Not a Purdue fan, but that is pretty cool

Completely blindsided by this one. https://www.theonion.com/conference-realignment-continues-as-florida-state-joins-1849177542?utm_campaign=The Onion&utm_content=1657831503&utm_medium=SocialMarketing&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR28-wHxpHzESC8BVLnnKvpBUd4DB_eKGe23nXqL4ia4_B7wIl6pnt6JugM 🤣🤣🤣

I agree with this 1000000000000% Thinking of those country club sports and the changes in the travel rule. Golf courses and tennis clubs, swim clubs (since the Carmel one gets ZERO competition in State) ought to see a prime opportunity for inviting top programs from around the country.
