That's definitely not very good money, especially when it requires a degree. The Indiana Department of Correction pays a rookie correctional officer better than that and the minimum requirement is a GED, a driver's license, and the ability to pass a drug screen and a background check. The work is dangerous, but I digress.
The problem will only worsen. When I first began I knew, accepted, and (potentially wrongly) assumed teaching was a low pay/high status job. In my opinion, it has moved to a low pay/low status job. I'm okay with one, but not both.
Why teach when you can make transition into another career with immediate hefty raises? Seems like we're on a sinking ship.

I would of loved to stay on a staff, but leaving the teaching profession and transitioning into the private sector was much higher on the priority list than coaching.
Tough to rationalize making 40k as a teacher + a couple grand coaching over a career that gives you an opportunity to provide for your family in a manner I wanted.

When comparing recruiting, we have got to stop referencing rivals/ESPN. 247's Composite rankings are much better, consistent, and more respected throughout the whole industry.

Great list, thanks for putting this and the others together.

All bets are off when these two get together. Dwenger plays Snider with more passion than any other team on their schedule, and have for four decades. Probably the most fierce rivalry in the SAC. I wouldn't be surprise one iota if the Saints win this one.
I agree. When "Blitz" wrote his article saying that Luers/Dwenger was superior, I just shook my head.
-
Looking way ahead here, but what will the ruling be on the conference champion if Luers and Snider both finishing with 1 loss, but Snider playing 1 less game?
-
Seems to me that they beat up on Belmont, Dekalb, (traditionally) Norwell, and Huntington North because of superior size/athleticism/speed, but when push comes to shove have a hard time beating Leo and East Noble.

Too few schools competing for a State title.
But there are more total schools across that play basketball than football? I just don't understand why the argument is acceptable for one sport vs the other.
-
What is the argument against 6 classes, just like football (obviously success factor schools might differ)?

So he ups and leaves while school is still going on? I find that unconscionable. Not living up to your teaching contract. I don't get it.
You're kidding right.....

8. Best Defensive Stud - Caden Curry of Center Grove What more can be said about Curry? He is a 4 Star recruit with offers from every major college in the country. He will likely elevate to 5 star status and become the most highly recruited player in Indiana High School Football state history. Curry does not have huge sacks or TFA numbers this year, as teams generally either double team him or run the other way. The 6-5 , 260lb junior has a huge future, and will likely be a first round NFL draft choice after his JR year. Would love to see him stay in Big Ten country. Would look great in Maize and Blue.

Did you see the game?
If yes, what kind of size does Knox have along the offensive and defensive lines?
Are the kids mobile?
I did not.
-
Knox is going to be a force to be reckoned with. Southwood is coming off 3 straight conference championships with a handful of returning starters. Both teams should be solid.

Big props to any HC in basketball/football that teaches a core subject. While PE/weights/etc is not as strenuous as other subjects, it does still take time that you could be game planning, film watching, preparing practice plans, and countless other duties.

And what do we tell Johnny Football in 5 years when he is $100K in debt and getting ready to start his fabulous career as a Gym Teacher for $35000 in Podunk, Indiana?
Oh wait, President Warren will likely forgive that debt as part of her income redistribution initiative
Yes, yes, yes. There are so many positives to being a walk on at a larger program compared to paying 30k+ at any smaller private.

Solid ESPN article that was published yesterday over this.

you know, if you want people to click on your links, you really should click on theirs as well. 247 has been all over the place this year, as evidenced by Hartwig listed twice in both lists. You are posting the old list where Fryar is listed as #1 recruit in IN as a 4 star. Most recent list has Brevard as #1 and Craig as #2. Both as four stars as well.
247, the actual service itself puts out their own list. They also put out the 247 composite list that takes into account their own rankings, ESPN, Rivals, and possibly Scout. Both of you are technically correct, but the 247 composite is widely considered the norm.

Great get for the Hoosiers. Need to ride the wave from the great year and finish strong with recruiting.

Anyone know who I should contact to get the receiving records updated? I believe the career receiving TD should be tied and single season changed.

P/p has played by different rules for years both academically and athletically, why would they think they should be held to the same moral standard now?

One of my coolest travel stories ever didnt even start with a high school game in mind. A buddy and I went to Bloomington for the Bucket game. It was about half time and Purdue was killing IU and I turned to my buddy and said hey Roncolli is playing Jasper for a semi-state title tonight in Jasper wanna leave here and head to the game? Him being as crazy as I am said sure. Neither of us had ever been to Jasper so I had to look it up on my phone. We hopped in the truck and started down south to go watch the game. I put in Jasper High School in my phone thinking the stadium was at the school. Well we get there and the school looks deserted. A guys just happened to be walking his dog and told us the field was actually near the center of town. We got there the visiting stands and home stands were packed so we ended up standing I the end zone. I looked over and low and behold Jimmy "Mad Dog" was standing right next to me chewing on a cigar. Didnt get back into indy till almost 1 in the morning. Best road trip for football I've ever been on.
I love traveling
Similar to a buddy and I's tradition. Thanksgiving Thursday, downtown Indy Thursday night, state games Friday, Bucket game Saturday, and if the Colts are at home......
