How about we try not to derail this topic? Stay focused on the topic at hand. Most of the opinions here are duly noted on both sides....no need to bring them up in every single topic about this season.

New Haven High School is looking for a freshman game Thursday. Contact the AD, Andy Wagner at awagner@eacs.k12.in.us or call the school at 260-446-0220

Oh, but you insinuating that his post was something less than honest somehow escapes the “gaslighting” standard? Got it.

What does Coach Nowlin have to gain by lying about this?

Not sure what this does to the football season, but my guess is that if classes are virtual, then no athletics? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/8-days-semester-notre-dame-halts-person-classes-146-students-n1237195?cid=sm_npd_nn_fb_ma

Honest question to Trump supporters....so, with the Epstein thing, we know that Bill Clinton was a sleazeball. I never voted for him, and do not look back in regret on that. But is Trump’s immorality being excused, or overlooked while pointing the finger at Clinton and others, including Biden? Sure Bill is the featured speaker tonight, but Trump is the featured speaker at the Republican Convention, right?

It seems those programs are taking advantage of the leeway given for teams by the IHSAA who are dealing with a significant number of cases within the program; canceling out of concern for traveling somewhere is outside those guidelines in my opinion.

I agree that crazy things were bound to happen with zoom, or other streaming platforms; but it is still a bad idea to have combined in person/virtual students in the same class period.

It is my understanding that games cancelled because of quarantine and related issues will not be counted as forfeits.

I have tested twice this Summer.

Did you read the story??? A mom was murdered while her 10 year old was on a zoom meeting. Do I need to explain further?

This alone should end the use of zoom or any live streaming of classes....done, end of story, period. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53758746#:~:text=The%20mother%20of%20a%20Florida,with%20her%20class%2C%20police%20say.&text=Maribel%20Rosado%20Morales%2C%2032%2C%20was,the%20Martin%20County%20Sheriff's%20Office.

Nebraska is doing the same thing. Options are quickly running out. My guess is the SEC would let OSU in. Nebraska back in the Big 12 for a year?

Trump calling someone a RINO is absolutely hilarious.

Funny that the article just brushes aside that he said there are problems from liberal parents as well. The bigger issue is how can live streaming even be legal? There are a number of privacy issues that come up. If a kid has an IEP, and asks a teacher if he or she can go to the resource room for help, instead of a one on one conversation, the potential for kids and parents at home to hear that is a risk. If there is a discipline issue in the classroom, that is an issue as well. Iknow a teacher in an elementary school who heard a parent yell and cuss at her kid and she is certain she heard a slap. With so many on screen at once, there was no way to determine who it was.Then you have a who.e new set of discipline issues. Fishers high school had someone showing their male privates on camera, and another student in the same class yelling the n word. There is simply no way to control those types of things. Another teacher I know had parents calling during class with questions. It is too much for any teacher to take on. There are several classes that are able to have one teacher at a grade level work with virtual students, but even that has its own set of issues. Not all buildings can afford to dedicate a teacher to just that group. As far as what this teacher is talking about, there is something to be said for a kid being in a class and feeling comfortable enough to share something personal that he or she may not be so willing too if the class is being broadcast.

It is my belief the IHSAA has passed the call on to each school district. If we were in the playoffs at this point, like we were with basketball in March, then it is their call. But at this point they are what poker players call......pot committed.

And like chicken pox, it stays in you for your lifetime. Who knows when or if it will act up again. There is no flu virus that does that.

Angola at New Haven at 2 pm Saturday Anyone know who Garrett scrimmages? Their school calendar only says team meeting Saturday morning.

I was thinking officials would just yell “STOP!!!”

Now I have to worry about vegetarian friends and family? Gotta be careful in this world. 🤣

And to be fair and balanced, I hear the ice cream shop is run by a Yo Semite family.

I agree completely here......every team will try to get as far into the season as they can, and see what happens.

Oh trust me; both sides of the discussion have been "neutered" at various points...... Love that word :)

I merged topics here. We would like to keep all updates under this topic so the page is not cluttered with each school that either suspends or cancels the season. Thanks folks. Also, sorry, I suck at merging, so I may not have gotten the original topic heading right. For the record, we did not ban anyone; said person asked to have his account deleted.
