Interesting back stories. Thanks. Those damn cheatin' publics...  LOL

You have any insight on the NIL and transfer topics that were evidently discussed?

 

Remember when DeSantis was on the committee and Bremen went one way and Jimtown was sent to Fort Wayne for sectionals?

What did they expect the result of pumping trillions of new printed dollars into the economy would be?  Econ 101, it tends to make the value of all currency less, reducing spending power and raising prices.

So, what is the answer? Argentina?

Why the US Debt Is Unsustainable and Is Destroying the Middle Class:  https://mises.org/mises-wire/why-us-debt-unsustainable-and-destroying-middle-class

This is the future the boomers are leaving for our children and grandchildren.  A future of serfdom and debt to the state.

 

Rich guys have done this, not the boomers.  I think I'll need to take an economics course at a conservative Christian university and at a public school and see how they differ.

Yay, #95!  hahaha

Good call.  I worked way too much last fall, just catching up.

Thank you for that anecdote.  Mr. Benner was a regular Nostradamus. 

Circumlocution, multivalence, evasiveness---Nostradamus had to make money.  🙂

Wow.  That's a pretty taxpayer penny.  Thank you.

 

Investment?

That's a whale of a small school at Maria Stein.  Wow!

Are there any school systems that have student enrollments of 50,000 anywhere in the United States? (asking for a friend)

Speedway has less than 2,000. Now let's look at the schools once you get pass the wealthy suburbs of Indy. What I see is Heritage Hills, Cascade, Tell City, Eastern, Northwestern, Manchester, North Putnam, Argos... The list goes on. 

 

Where is Warren? Lawrence Central? Jeff? Elkhart? I mean Elkhart just consolidated... One would think they should be at the top of the list!!! 

I have taught/coached at a lot of schools. Some were in a wealthy community, some in a poor community. Some were large corporations and others were small. There are a lot of factors that go into a school corporation being successful academically. One of the last factors would be school corporation size. 

The most important would be parent involvement. So how about we start by fixing that.

The best solution is for the IHSAA to go to a true system of promotion/relegation, and take enrollment entirely out of it's classification system.  

Much like the success factor, this won't work because the kids aren't there for long.  Your examples in soccer still have dominant teams.  Recruiting will only get worse and intentional losses will come.

Sorry, I've tried and I just don't understand what you are trying to say here.    If you deem to rewrite your statement I will definitely consider it and compose a response.  Maybe get a English teacher from the RHS English department to assist you?

You've got to be kidding me.  His words sound just like somebody talking.  You have to be lying.

Just terrible! Are you kidding me? Can’t do better than that? Ridiculous. How about start promoting the product in a better way and make it the best it can be.

Some company is going to have to put the $$ up.

Even if Luers made it to the state game.  I would not be paying just to watch it on my computer.  They use to air it for free on television (with commercials of course).

Get with the times.

The fact that the IHSAA forces you to buy an online ticket as well as an online subscription to view the games tells you all that you need to know. 

online subscription?  The app is free and they have lots of content.

I had a KO (not grounded) by K, caught in the air by K, tonight which was adjudicated as Kick Catch Interference without an R player within the perview of anything...

After stepping off an additional 15 yards for the penalty....As it should be interpreted.as a "fair catch" by R... then penalized. 

I almost felt like I needed security to even give the proper signal.   Ugh...   

I think I know where to watch this one.

The more I look at it, the more I think the North will be represented by Rochester/LCC/Laville with a possibility of Bluffton. I don't think Luers is as good as people think, and i think their record is very misleading. Luers got blown out by their two non-conference opponents on the schedule, not to say they weren't good teams, but they weren't even competitive. The Fort Wayne schools as a whole only beat each other without making much noise outside of Carroll and Snider outside of the conference. If you watch Luers play, outside of pretty good defense, there isn't any consistency in the offensive game plan, no identity from what I can see. Just athletes making some plays here and there and the further you get into the playoffs, the more athletes everyone has. I just don't think they are going to go as far as people think they are going to go. 

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS.

What a crock if Luers wins the championship.

The consensus seems to be that if Blackhawk can put together one of the best small school basketball programs in the state, then they should be able to do the same in football. I'm not sure I'm buying it. If they do, needless to say it will take years. 

A couple of move-ins and you can have a very good 1A team.   The 3rd or 4th RB at Snider would be all-state at Blackhawk.
