I think they will eventually but they’ll want a new conference first. My understanding is that they would rather be in the HHC than be independent.

If JC and Madison were smart, they'd have joined the EIAC before Connersville and Rushville. Just saying.

At least the Catholic church’s stance is consistent and based on doctrine, regardless whether you believe it right or wrong. I firmly believe that many of those cheering this decision do so out of their desire to misogynistically legislate morality. It’s a powerful blow in favor of the double standard. All I’ll say at this point is “Beware the Law of Unintended Consequences.” They took away something that was viewed as a constitutional right for almost 50 years. They can take away others just as easily.

I saw this on Facebook. Mind you, I'm not the maker of this meme, nor the original poster-

Those extolling the overturning of Roe as a victory for “states’ rights,” be careful what you ask for.

The game has to be played in Indiana; but at least it can be played.

So happy when people nearly died or died and apparently have determined at some point I was sick. About what I would expect from someone like you. 

You're the one who voted for Trump. Actions have consequences. You could have stayed at home and got the vaccine, but you didn't. Sorry G-d doesn't like you.

I have no doubt a person such as yourself would see the pandemic as a blessing. 

Well Trump nearly died; you and several of "those people" got sick; I got paid for two jobs during the lockdown; my teaching positions upgraded since then; and my choice of trucking jobs got better, so yeah the pandemic was pretty good for me. 

Sorry not sorry you didn't benefit and got sick; Deus Vult.

I bet you never stayed indoors; but the pandemic was a blessing for me, so I guess I should thank you for in part for my good times.

No, not really.  There is lots of coal left to mine.

 

And mining and burning the coal will kill the planet in the process. 

@swordfishit looks like Indiana relies too much on coal-

Looks like it just sucks to be you in Indiana. 

Anyway, to pull this thread away from being a MIC thread-

I do think that we shall see CI dissolve in a few short years, and shall See Southport go to the HCC, see BHSN go to the Hoosier Hills, and see BHSS and Columbus North join the Mid-State Conference.

SF can believe that eventually electric powered cars COULD POTENTIALLY EVENTUALLY have a huge presence in the market

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a39998609/ev-sales-turning-point/

From the Article:

Quote

After a decade of slow but steady sales growth, electric vehicle registrations in the U.S. shot up 60 percent in the first quarter of 2022 even as overall new car registrations dropped 18 percent.

Quote

Cox Automotive’s estimate of the EV market share for the first quarter of 2022, for example, was 5.2 percent compared to 2.5 percent in 2021.

I stand corrected - SF Should have said "out from under it's influence".  

Well, if you want to get out of the influence from those people, invest in electric cars and nuclear energy.

This is a prime example why the US needs out of OPEC

https://www.opec.org/opec_web/en/about_us/25.htm

From the website-

Quote

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was founded in Baghdad, Iraq, with the signing of an agreement in September 1960 by five countries namely Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. They were to become the Founder Members of the Organization.

These countries were later joined by Qatar (1961), Indonesia (1962), Libya (1962), the United Arab Emirates (1967), Algeria (1969), Nigeria (1971), Ecuador (1973), Gabon (1975), Angola (2007), Equatorial Guinea (2017) and Congo (2018).

Ecuador suspended its membership in December 1992, rejoined OPEC in October 2007, but decided to withdraw its membership of OPEC effective 1 January 2020. Indonesia suspended its membership in January 2009, reactivated it again in January 2016, but decided to suspend its membership once more at the 171^st Meeting of the OPEC Conference on 30 November 2016. Gabon terminated its membership in January 1995. However, it rejoined the Organization in July 2016. Qatar terminated its membership on 1 January 2019.

This means that, currently, the Organization has a total of 13 Member Countries.

Can't get out of an organization you aren't a part of.

What is everyone's beef with Center Grove? It's my understanding that the MIC didn't want them because they dominated the country club sports and now they've taken over football. But why not schedule them as a non-conference opponent?

Have you ever dealt with those people?

Emphasis is on can. However, I think it’s clear that the credibility of such organizations when it comes to self-policing is at an all time low.

IDK who licenses LEOs in Indiana, but in Nevada it's this board-

As far as background qualifications go, there are several people I know who were hired as LEOs in Indiana who would not be eligible for licenses in Nevada. 

Protip @Irishman images from Facebook load better if you re-host them on Imgur or some other website.

It goes back a lot further, and is a lot more fundamental, than the Constitution

...and it's also something that can be handled by the body that licenses cops in your State.
