Guest DT Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 The regular season has been completed and conference champions have been crowned Given the rapidly spreading advance of Covid and the onset of natural flu season, it's time to pack in the season and call it a day. The IHSAA has successfully navigated the virus through the fall season.

Guest DT Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Just go with Mythical State Champs by class this season and protect the kids from further outbreak. Rarely in state history have we seen such overwhelming favorites by class heading into the state tournament. The playoffs are really just a formality at this point. This might be the most predictable playoff in state history 6A - Center Grove / They will roll thru unchallenged 5A - Cathedral / Same as above 4A - Its a 4 team race between Mt Vernon, Mooresville, East Central and Roncalli 3A - Chatard / Same as 6A and 5A 2A - Andrean / Same as 6A, 5A and 3A 1A - Lutheran / South Adams appears to be the only challenger If Roncalli pulls it share of the weight, you will have "5" PP champs.

I prefer a automatic one class bump up for p/p's. And of course the best solution is a true system of promotion/relegation, get enrollment out of the equation completely. Yes, big $ with most if not all venues, including the taxpayer funded boondoggle called Lucas Oil Stadium, at 25% or less capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this ridiculous up and down movement from to class to class needs to end. Its demotivational for a program to get used to 3A post season competition and then drop down to 2A, regardless of the reason. Agree with Muda that ALL PPs bump Plus 1 class automatically Therer should be no PPs in 1A, ever. Covid is widening the gap between the haves and the have nots. We could very well be on the leading edge of a new wave of PP Hegemony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a critical issue and I felt compelled to address it and comment on it Before the season started, I was an advocate for a regular season only, conference champs only this season. I still believe that is a wise and prudent path Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdue Pete Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 IHSAA, teams, schools and counties have all implemented guidelines based upon data and the facts surrounding the current situation. We’ve had a great season. Looking forward to watching teams play in a great tournament. Looking forward to watching the seniors play out their final games of their careers. This topic / post has my vote for the worst of this season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muda69 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 The #3 team in 1A has already had to bow out of the tournament due to covid-19: How much more damage will there be? If this tournament does go on and is completed in November the winners of those classes that have at least one school that has had to drop out due to covid-19 should have an asterisk (*) beside them.

scarab527 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 As a fan of a team that has a legit chance to get to state and as someone who lives with a person who is vulnerable to the virus, I must admit I’m very torn in this discussion, but I hope the IHSAA doesn’t shut down the tournament unless infection rates continue to increase. Football has been a great escape and has provided a sense of normalcy during all of this for both the kids and the fans and I’d hate to see the tournament end like that. However, if infection rates got close to 20%, I think the IHSAA would have to take a hard look at ending the tournament, but I really hope that doesn’t happen, nor do I think it will to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playmaker Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Or how about people stop getting tested cuz they aren’t accurate anyway! Only reason numbers are going up again is cuz the election is two weeks away! Don’t get tested and carry on with the tournament! 1 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty crazy to keep playing Colts games are being played with 12,500 spectators distanced throughout the stadium. I've been to the last two games and people are very spread out. Concessions are prepackaged only, not a lot of crowding at entrances. I think the finals will be fine, especially if each school gets a specific allotment. Lucas Oil has 63K seats. It's a pretty big place. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
