What We Can Learn from MLB
Bullhorn99 replied to Bobref's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Well, that does respond to either of my questions at all. Regardless of what MLB is doing (BIG difference--increasing the number of playoff teams rather that reducing the number of tournament teams), after week six for example, wouldn't a team sitting at 4-2 experience roughly the same amount of increase in 'stakes' and interest as a team sitting at 2-4 a decrease in 'stakes' and interest? And if these two teams faced each other in week 7, how would this bring about a more competitive regular season game? -

Wouldn't it be a zero-sum game where as the 'stakes' and interest increase for one team or a group of teams moving toward qualifying, they would necessarily decrease for teams moving away from qualifying? Also, how exactly would this make for more competitive games? -
Are there more walk-ons going to IU or Purdue now versus 5 years ago? 10 years ago? I asked earlier and got no response. Kinda makes me think you don't have data to back up your assertion that there's some sort of 'new' problem with larger universities taking too many of this type of student-athlete.

Where do you find the preferred walk on roster? I looked quickly and couldn't find one for the current season or any past season. If there's no preferred walk on roster out there for any season, how do you know that the roster is larger now that it was last year? 5 years ago? 10 years ago? Or is it that it's just more public now because all of them are posting it on their twitter accounts for all to see?

Kevin Wright Resigns from IMG
Bullhorn99 replied to CGFan2017's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
It is a decided advantage to the OL in at least three situations--1) Very difficult for DL to make contact with OL as OL is down blocking/down blocking to 2nd level guys (Allows for a free release to LB's) 2) A real advantage for the OL to get a step or 2 in before contacting DL when zone blocking-particularly on outsize zone 3) When they can get set up on their pass pro and be ready to engage a pass rusher-A lot easier with that added depth (It's also easier to pick up twists and blitzes). The problem with an official simply handling this between plays is that it will fix the situation for a short stretch of the game, but if the OL is being coached to do this, they are also being coached to stretch it back out again in a fairly short period of time. Until there are teeth to the correction, teams that do this will keep doing it and keep gaining that extra edge. -

Yes they will. -

Aren't you the one who asked in the first place? Why ask if you are so certain? -

FALL 2 YEAR CLASSIFICATION
Bullhorn99 replied to Coach Nowlin's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
For 5A, do you think they might send the Elkhart schools over to Munster, LaPorte, MC for one year? That way when Valpo moves down, that 5A sectional will make more sense geographically? -
6A Sectionals - Guessing game
Bullhorn99 replied to NLCTigerFan07's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Why would that be a problem? The IHSAA is, at least in part, a decision making institution, right? If member schools believe the decision is in the best interest of high school athletics, it should OK in this case, and not necessarily applicable down the road. I don't think that precedence is always the deciding factor. -
6A Sectionals - Guessing game
Bullhorn99 replied to NLCTigerFan07's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I think you might be onto something here. I've heard rumblings that something like this is a very real possibility (one rumor is that it's a done deal though not official yet). -
IFCA REGION 4 All Stars

Seemed like an accusation. -

That doesn't answer the question. -

Interesting conclusion to jump to. Why do you go that direction? -
So here's a question--will the IHSAA have to put 33 teams in 5A in anticipation of the Elkhart consolidation? If they do, BNL would potentially be in 5A, right? If they don't, in 2020 there will only be 31 teams in 5A so in 1 northern sectional 1 team will have a bye to the sectional championship game, right?

I think someone asked earlier, but I didn't see a reply: Does anybody have the total number of football playing schools for this next cycle? Also, do I have this right? The approach by the ihsaa is as follows: 64 teams in class A through 4A; 32 teams in 6A; 5A will have 32 or more depending on how many more than 320 football schools the state has.
