Irishman Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 https://www.thenewsdispatch.com/sports/article_89f895d1-63dc-57a2-8934-5bd5b203bef4.html There was a lot of talk about a multiplier about 10 years ago. If I remember correctly, only one proposal gained any sort of traction, and I cannot remember if it ever reached the IHSAA for a vote. This one goes before the IHSAA Executive Board on April 25th.

I like it but I personally think it would be better if the success factor took four years into account instead of just two. I think we have seen small public schools get penalized for having a rare crop of great talent, having a great run, then getting bumped. This has been across the board in other sports. I think 4 years gives a better idea of the consistency of a program and its need to be bumped up or not.

Bobref Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 So, if this passes, will it replace the current “success factor” system, or will both remain in effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously if we’re going to have a multiplier, I like the current one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedgebuster Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Hey you guys could be in Michigan where we have nothing to level the playing field. No Success Factor, no Multiplier, nothing. As a result you get schools like Grand Rapids West Catholic winning 5 state titles in a row. 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muda69 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Oh the memories of debating/arguing over the multiplier on the older iterations of the GID. Those were the days. That said expect legal action, probably by the parochial/Catholic schools, if this should ever pass and be implemented by the IHSAA. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakone Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 What about City public schools who recruit will they be subject to multipliers or is it just Catholic and private schools? If so Parents who send their kids to p/p's should have their tax money funneled to the schools their kids go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNLESS, you make too much then you can't use YOUR tax dollars to send YOUR child to the school of YOUR choice. Isn't school choice wonderful?

In all seriousness. I miss the Indiana Catholics. Tough parents, tough kids, that just happen to like a good time. In the greater "God Rapids" area, I really think that Religion and the fear surrounding it makes kids afraid to throw all in and be passionate about something. We have trouble ever getting our full secondary or set of skill guys at a 7 on 7 because our kids go on multiple mission trips (or lets be honest mission tourism trips) during the summer. If they don't go, their going to hell, or at least that is what they are led to believe. We just have a bunch of nice kids that are scared of ever getting too excited about something for fear of getting their wrists slapped. I teach at a medium sized public school but we are basically a christian school without the bible class. I can't really describe it, but somehow the "vibe" between the two states seems to be very different to me. Pretty sure if Lowell or West Lafayette tried to be the "Devils" up here parents would move their kids out of district in mass numbers. A fellow Assistant coach on our staff put it best "If one of our kids somehow wandered into a hot piece of a$$, they would have to have their mom blow on it first" 😂 I'm not saying you need "bad" kids to be good, but I sure would take some right about now! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Dann indicated, isn't this parents using THEIR tax dollars to send THEIR child to the school of THEIR choice? It's no different than with open enrollment a parent decides to transfer their child from New Haven to Homestead. It's THEIR tax dollars going the school of THEIR choice. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, I 100% agree with IF it was applied to all people that want to use the voucher. Sorry. I hijacked the thread. My apologies. Didn't mean to. I am will remove myself.

I do agree that you are free to drive your own children to where you'd like. I asked my kids if they wanted to go to Luers and they didn't. Even as a public school teacher, I would have inquired about the voucher. Edited March 8, 2019 by Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
