Guest DT Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) I believe the Lawrence schools have had a very healthy relationship with the Indy Catholics for years Under this setup, Lawrence would go from doormat to top dog overnite Is that not in any way appealing? Basketball games are easy to schedule. Plenty of opps to see MIC schools Edited December 3, 2019 by DT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would for Center Grove LC and LN don't travel to White River Township. Costs the Trojans a lot of coin They would be much better off hosting New Pal, Columbus East, Avon, Brownsburg , Martinsville, Bloomington South, Plainfield, Franklin, Whiteland, Greenwood, DC, Roncalli, Chatard, Penn, FW Snider, Homestead, Dwenger, Valpo, Laf Jeff, Ev Mem, Terre Haute North, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basketball games are easy to schedule. Plenty of opps to see MIC schools Definitely not true. For the longest time LN and LC would not allow Chatard or Cathedral to use their football stadiums. Both schools recruit students (and thus athletes) heavily in Lawrence Township (Cathedral lies in the district boundaries and Chatard is very close) and the athletic staff of both schools don't appreciate their potential athletes getting poached from the LT middle schools. I don't know if that relationship would prevent them from wanting to join a conference with them, but I do know the Lawrence Township schools are very happy and very much a part of the MIC. They have no interest in looking at any other conference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to build continuity within a program with that much turnover. Good luck to Rodenberg in his new position though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to Rodenberg in his new position though!! I would not be at all surprised if the Lawrence Township High School athletic apparatus is reconsidering their long term attachment to the MIC On paper, just a poor fit for both schools. If the HCC would accept FC, I have no doubt they would also accept LC and LN. The MIC might be better served to go forward with 6 schools, giving its members more scheduling flexibility in football. With Cox retired, the 300 mile travel rule might be back in play. If the MIC were to prefer remaining at 8, Cathedral and Tech would be my top two candidates. I would not consider any HCC schools for membership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their record is not indicative of their competitiveness. There is no interest at this time from their administration in switching conferences. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In today's world schools are aligning more for reasons of competitive balance and size similarity than to have a shot a playing with the best in the state. LC and LN are in the 2300 range in enrollment and neither has any strong long term enrollment increase projected. MT Vernon and Pendleton are converging from the east while hamilton county continues to poach student athletes from the north Chatard, Brebeuf and Cathedral and now Guerin will continue to load their coffers with Lawrence township talent The Larry's can't continue to fight this battle on all these fronts and expect to win, let alone survive Rodenberg saw this immediately an got out as soon as he could It's like the Germans trying to hold off the Russians and the allies with jV partners Mussolini and Hirohito at their side.

Gipper Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Conferences, no matter if we’re talking about the Hoosier North, Hoosier Hills, or anywhere in between, will have their respective hierarchies: elite, middle of the road, and not so good. With athletics being cyclical AS THEY ARE, LC and LN aren’t in the elite category at the moment, but what about other sports? Football doesn’t always drive the bus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
