I would much rather like to hear this pariah "kicker" before the esteemed likes of Biden and Fauci any day....(IMHO)
That’s because you like what he says. It doesn’t matter who is saying it.

I guess (in the eyes of the NFL) Mr. Butker would have been better off assaulting a woman than espousing some personal Christian beliefs at a Catholic School Commencement. (Incidentally, his words aligned precisely with the Catholic School's teachings - but what does that matter?)
Who cares what a kicker says, anyway?

any "scientific study" can be crafted to get the data you want
I get your point, and it’s a valid one. But to truly be a “scientific” study, the outcome cannot predetermined. Conclusions go where the data lead them. Calling this “scientific “ gives it more credence than it deserves.

When you choose to pay for a customized enhanced service, you forfeit your rights. That’s the point I think you’re missing.
I’m not missing it. I just don’t agree with it. The analysis leading to that point of view is, superficial, as the ridiculous analogies that appear earlier in the thread demonstrate.

The right isn’t fundamental when one chooses to purchase an enhanced version. Once one steps out of the confines of what is fundamental, you have chosen the better option (the pay for play option). Kind of like the seafood upgrade at the Buffett. Your dollars provide and enhanced and improved service including inherent athletic and educational advantages. Privatization in its purest form. Services rendered. Fundamentals bypassed and unnecessary to support the business. Let’s save the subsidies for stuff that fails like green energy.
You’re missing the point. Whether people like it or not, P/Ps are an integral part of the state education system. Ask yourself what would happen if large numbers of P/P students decided to go to public schools instead. It costs $$ to educate each student. Vouchers for a P/P students cost the taxpayers significantly less than educating that student in public schools, not to mention the capital investment avoided. Vouchers for P/P students are a significant savings for the taxpayers compared to the alternative. Then, of course, there’s the “fairness” issue…

the IHSAA is not a government entity, but a private one
That is not exactly accurate. The IHSAA has been found to be a “state actor” in a number of legal decisions. It depends on the issue as to whether the IHSAA is considered an arm of the state, or a private association.

Maybe the worst analogy ever … since education is a fundamental right under the Indiana Constitution and, to my knowledge, golf isn’t.

Guessing he also played backyard football in similar conditions at birthday parties. Probably a common occurrence in Adams & Wells Counties. Probably also got yelled at for playing in the worked up fields & gardens too when they were muddy. Why I'm surprised 3 of the 6 went to turf when they have an advantage with grass.
He was a pretty good player at Northern Illinois on any surface. Set several school records and was a multi-year starter. Had a cup of coffee in the NFL, as I recall.

Again - Anyone that can actually believe the current President (legally) received more votes than any other President in the history of the United States given the numerous states prosecutions and convictions for election misdeeds in the last election by blue states finally coming to light last year and this year needs to have their head examined. SMH
It’s like penalties in a football game. Over time, it all evens out.

Not in the last decade, and I don’t know about the “best QB,” but I saw Warren’s Desmond Tardy put a 300 yd. rushing game on Penn in the 2003 5A championship game. Thought I’d never see a QB performance like that again. And I didn’t … for almost 3 yrs. Then came the 2006 Regional at New Prairie. The absolute worst field conditions I’ve ever seen — and I once lost a shoe in the mud at a college game. Torrents of freezing rain, and then the temperature dropped 20 degrees, creating a bog with frozen ruts. Could barely stand upright on the field, except for one guy. The Norwell QB — a guy named Chandler Harnish — dominated the field that night. I have no idea how many yards rushing he had, or how many TDs, but Norwell won 49-20. How he did it on that field, I’ll never know. We checked his cleats — twice. Never saw anything like it before or since.

The fact that the polls have Trump (a guy being threatened with prison time) ahead of Biden is proof of how bad its gotten.
I think it was Jefferson who said: “The government you elect is the government you deserve.”

Completely agree with you. RC is a good program, well coached with kids that buy in. They also run an offensive scheme we don’t see often and tends to give us fits.
They are a textbook example of the benefits of continuity in the coaching staff.

42-7 over the past 4 seasons. That’s a pretty tough jury.

Notre Dame Men’s Lacrosse begins the defense of last year’s national championship. After winning the ACC regular season and tournament titles, and finishing the regular season ranked #1, the defending champs enter the NCAA tournament as the #1 overall seed. Duke is seeded #2. The Irish have beaten Duke the last 5 times they have played.

This must be the state officials manual. I don't see anything on victory formation in the NFHS Officials Manual.
Correct.

That’s an interesting take: retroactive decriminalization.

Define Gambling Crime?
Yes, Pete Rose should be in the HOF
No, you should not be allowed to participate in college/pro sports when gambling action can be made and you as an athlete choose to gamble on the sport you play.
Football player gambling on Baseball, no problemFootball player gambling on Football, Problem
There are both federal and state laws that criminalize illegal gambling. There are many people in jail for breaking these laws. Should all the people who have illegal gambling offenses be released just because many forms of gaming are now legal?

I say this was the inevitable result of the NCAA’s stupid policies over the years — which have been replaced by NIL & the transfer portal. This is like a state legalizing cannabis. Do you let the people out of jail who broke the law when it was illegal? Do you automatically expunge their convictions?

It’s a point of view. There are others. People who think there is only one path to happiness/fulfillment are only hurting themselves with their narrow-mindedness.
