Just saw that the IHSAA was going to vote on NIL for next season at their May 4th meeting. Any thoughts?

If you have different teams on those days, Knox could come to the 22nd one as well as the 29th.

When club sports started, there were only a few and the elite players were on them. Now that clubs have seen the money they can make, it seems that everybody is now on a club team. I have seen players that can not make varsity in high school but parents brag about how good they are on there club team and if the high school coach was any good they would start their kid on Varsity. There are 2 type of kids that join club sports in my opinion, those that are use to promote the club and those that pay the bills to keep the lights on.

Parents

Some high school coaches are even telling parents that if they want their child to get better they need to join travel teams, or elite clubs, or pay to have private training. It is not just coming from outside sources but school paid coaches as well, just people not wanting to do a job and put hours into coaching unless they are getting paid.

It was already stated to them how the system works, some just refuse to understand.

I though it was next week?

If there are 12 players in the huddle, how can the replacement leave immediately after being replaced? Are you saying that the huddle takes less than 1 second and the player can get off the field in 2 seconds, 1+2=3 seconds. Don't see this as possible, will have to try it out at practice I guess to make sense to me.

High School will copy cat College, just look at the uniforms. If players in college are allowed to leave with out penalty, what makes you think that high school kids won't do it.

I don't know about soft, the wrestling team does a great job. I know they are coached hard. I have know Roy for a long time and have had some great games against him, but moving from school to school like i have, Hammond is not the same as Portage.

Don't the South Bend Schools share School Field which is turf during the playoffs?

The majority of the schools are 3A and 4A. Only saw 3 1A schools and 2 2A schools.

If the IHSAA would use their heads, they would play this in the Spring Season. Then you would have 4 girls sports in each season. Volleyball, Soccer, Golf and Cross County in Fall. Wrestling, Basketball, Swimming, Gymnastics in Winter. Tennis, Softball, Track, and Football in Spring. Much more balanced than 5 in fall, 4 in winter, and 3 in spring.

It is for the Fall Season.
