    If I'm not mistaken- as it stands (or was)- the PAC was split evenly with 6 schools in both the Big and Small Divisions. 

    With the addition of Tecumseh, and don't get me started on their story - one division will have an odd # - so "shape up both divisions" is not mathematically possible.

    SR already plays Gibson, Boonville, and HH on their schedule. And in most years, TC and NP are better games than Washington and Princeton would be...so, what do divisions really matter in that sense? 

    I always thought Perry Central would be a good fit in the small PAC division. Then the smallest small PAC team can get bumped up.

    So, while the debate over recruiting continues ................

    This is anecdotal, but my graduating class at MD had about 105 students.  Let's say 50% were boys.  I can rattle off the names of 15 boys in my class that did absolutely nothing in HS other than show up for classes every day.  That's 30%!  Numbers may be different now, but there are still kids in the hallways that show up for class only and do nothing extracurricular.  

    I would say our senior class has close to 105 students. Maybe a little under. 9 played football. 4 played tennis. Not sure on Cross Country. 0 are playing basketball that did not play football or tennis. I think we have 2 boys wrestling that did not play football. I'd expect no one senior baseball players that did not do a fall or winter sport. Who knows about track. So of the 50 boys, I would say we have 15 that participate in athletics. That's 30%!

    1.) There are Private / Parochial Schools with Special Needs programs. One I can name is Roncalli and their STARS program.

    2.) You do realize there are more transfers out of Private/Parochial Schools to public than the other way around. Usually the student that transfers from Private/Parochial to Public gets an immediate sign off by the P/P school and on the flip side the rare occasion a student transfers from a Public to a Private/Parochial school there is no sign off by the Public forcing them to sit out a period of time. There are also a lot more Public to Public transfers especially in Indianapolis and surrounding counties

    1.) I'm sure there are. I just looked at Providence and Mater Dei, which didn't have any faculty listed as special ed. I didn't check every private school in the state.

    You seem at least reasonably intelligent.  Are you are really going to deny the difference in student populations and that it should merely be ignored and/or that it isn't a huge advantage in a enrollment only based system?  To your earlier point, many family make this "sacrifice" based on educational opportunities.....that really doesn't matter at all.  Whatever the reasons are it results in a completely different student population with drastically less deadweight.  I am ok with all of that, but if we want the classes to be as close as we can get them to like for like.....this situation has to be accounted for.  I think it says alot about the real motives of private parents who are staunchly against it.

    Whenever I look at our student population, we have some kids in special needs classes that do count towards our enrollment that could never be included in a pool of students involved in extra curriculars. When I pulled up Mater Dei and Providence's faculty members, they do not seem to have a special education department. I think this sir is what you are eluding to. I've coached kids that have had to quit playing football and other sports because they have had to work to help support their family. Probably not a common thing at Mater Dei. All enrollments are not equal.

    I don't have a big problem with any school recruiting kids for any reason. I just think everyone should be held to the same set of rules if they are competing against each other. Maybe the IHSAA should set some restrictions on movement such as a student can only have full eligibility for the school they begin the school with, unless there is a physical move.

    Only one game was competitive? MD won by 10. Lawrenceburg was leading at Halftime. Those may not have come down to the wire, but they were competitive. 

    I didn't get to watch the Lawrenceburg game but was in attendance for the MD game. I know it was a 10 point spread but it wasn't really competitive.

    With open enrollment when will losers quit crying this excuse for thier team not performing well

    Well, open enrollment does not equal immediate eligibility for public schools. I think people would prefer things be equal if they are competing together. It doesn't seem that ridiculous.
