It sure will be hard to find football games for both of these schools when the big schools of the Indy Metro area won't even schedule them or put them in their conference.

 

It may be more hard for one than the other.

 

I'd vote out any team that doesn't want to be in my conference but that is just using your conference as a fall back in case something else doesn't work out...like getting into another conference.

Carmel's proposed 2022 6A tour schedule:

@ Penn

Lafayette Jeff

@ Columbus North

Merrilville

@ Carroll (Fort Wayne)

Southport

@ Franklin Central

Chesterton

@ Warsaw

 

Franklin Central would have to be earlier in the season due to conference scheduling.

Would like to see the financials surrounding this agreement with the ISC Network.  Has Carmel become the U. of Texas of the the state of Indiana?

Yeah, I don't know if it's a streaming deal for their stuff or if it's like the NBC/Notre Dame thing. ISC works with many schools.

No.  But they are starting to look like a mini IMG given this new direction  Maybe we will see Kevin Wright back behind the controls in the future

Doubt it. John Hebert's been very good. Carmel doesn't replace coaches often.

Carmel is going independent.

Oh my! Well, I can't say that I'm surprised. That would be like letting a couple of sharks into your fish tank. 

I think this makes the SAC a better conference and certainly will open people's eyes more to the league. It also opens up a chance for some really good non-conference games.  Let's get BD vs. BD finally. Bishop Dwenger vs. Ben Davis! Homestead can come down or BD can go up. Carroll vs. BD...Snider vs. BD...Love it.

Good move by the SAC.

I was hoping he sounded like Ed Orgeron.

He sounds like Ed from accounting.

I’ll always wonder “what if” he had kept his head screwed on straight in Knoxville.

He should have been playing on Sunday. The good news is that I hear he's doing well now.

He sure was special...no doubt.  On another level.

I would have loved to see Rod Woodson play in high school to compare.  I believe Rod is the greatest player to come out of Indiana, but I judge that typically from his college and professional days.

The Banks family was so athletic...little sister Janese was a heck of a basketball player.  

Janese should have been Miss Basketball, but Pike got in the way in Sectional. I think that loss cost her the title. Janese is now coaching at Alabama.

Couldn't agree more with #1. James still is the most special player I've ever seen play high school football in the state of Indiana.

It's my understanding that there are a few coaches in the Wabash River conference that negotiate their contracts separate from the union. I don't think they're covered under the regular teacher contract.

Hmm...interesting. The contracts are negotiated by the union and the districts, but you are not bound to be a union member to benefit from the contract. Are they lay coaches or teachers?

Anyone know how much videographers make in the MIC?  Asking for a friend …

How much do they make? You assume that the programs pay for that service? You'd have to contact the programs directly. To my knowledge, it's most typically a volunteer/student manager/student from a broadcast program who shoots game video and things...don't quote me on that though.

Hearing some rumors regarding Coaching changes at Parke Heritage...  Anyone know any truth to this?

Usually rumors aren't reported on this board.

So performance incentives could never be part of a Coaching Stipend?

 

It would have to be negotiated in the teacher contract. I would think it would then have to apply across the board.

John Hebert makes 94K in teacher pay at Carmel, not including his coaching stipend.  Add in his coaching pay and he is likely in the 115-120 range.  

Its certainly not out of the range of possibility that a school wanting to hire a hot young coach with the intentions of turning around its program might bump that figure by 20 to 30% if thats what it takes to get their man.  

Thats how you get to $150K

 

Inflation is driving compensation increases everywhere, especially for top performers.  There are a handful of young coaches who could come to Indy seeking that amount.  Several are on my list.

The only way a public school whose salaries are public record could do what you're saying is layering on job titles that have responsibilities.

Base Pay

Coaching Stipend

Maybe Assistant AD or Department Chair Stipend

Extra Work Days

All must be in the contract available to the public for inspection.

Don't count this out as an option.

 

They aren't coming back. No way. Not the way it ended.

Awesome find.  Neat to see.

I wonder what championship Ben Davis claims in 1991?

@BDGiant93?

ESPN Scholastic Sports America

Not a chance at this point. They're gone. The MIC took its action specifically so they couldn't come back, IMO. I've also heard the divorce did not go well...besides the letter.
