They do at our school, because its an IHSAA contracted event, if any of our student athletes are serving any sort of academic or otherwise suspension the scrimmage is Game 1 of suspension.
Athletic code violation of 25% at RCHS, kid sits until 2nd half of week 2 game, has been that way for years.
Academic suspensions is 10 school days, so just depends on when we start school, but typically means they miss Scrimmage as well
about 2 years ago I was at IFCA board meeting and we spent a quite a bit of time talking Scrimmage vs Jamboree and it was well stated in that meeting by executive board that the Scrimmage is indeed a iHSAA contracted event so teams should be making sure they are wearing jersey's with visible numbers etc etc etc
