I think the IHSAA is kicking the can and letting the schools make the call. Someone can correct me if im wrong, but I believe they even put out that if kids are doing online learning from home they are still eligible to participate in sports. That to me is them saying "Hey schools, ball is in your court" if you want to play we will be here to run the tournaments. This is very different to the approach they took during the Boys Basketball tournament. It's going to be an interesting next 8-10 days. 

That is correct, but I believe it is based on the school's direction.  In another words, the IHSAA will allow it, but I believe that schools still have the final call on whether THEY will allow it.  TSC just announced to their students that students doing online classes will be able to participate in extra-curricular activities.  WLFI ran a brief story on it.

FTA:

TSC also stated that Students who select TSC’s Virtual Academy option are eligible to participate in extracurricular activities such as athletics at their home school. The Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) and the Indiana Department of Education recently released guidance that allows for students enrolled in their regular school’s virtual option to remain eligible for extracurricular participation.

It’s looking more like it.  To clarify, I never wished for this to happen, but it looks more and more like the responsible thing to do.

Are they also suspending in person classes?

I do not believe that is up to the conference, but the individual universities. I believe at the moment UIndy is offering both options.

Doesn't speak very well for U.S. efforts to contain it. Pathetic.

WL is starting on August 20 too for face-to-face I believe.

I think LCSS is starting on August 11, but don't quote me on that.

FWCS just announced this evening kids are starting back on August 13th. Teachers asked for more time to prepare for the combination of virtual and in person teaching, as well as putting other plans in place for safety.

Is this the original start date?

Why should tennis, golf and cross country shut down?  It makes zero sense.

 

I agree, it makes zero sense to shut tennis, golf, and cross country down. 

I hope that is not what happens.

 

It just sounds like that is what would happen. If one gets shut down, they all get shut down.

 

Time will tell what decisions are made.

 

as always, the game is better

Exactly, time will tell, nothing else.  I know we all want to get back to normal, but time is the only thing that will allow that.

I should have clarified, I'm in the South Bend/Mishawaka/Elkhart Tri-plex metro area.
