And while it did garner some support, it eventually did lose interest. It did accomplish to have loads of discussion, before coming to a screeching halt. The big supporters wanted to nominate and install the famous Bobby Plump, of the 1954 Milan High School Indiana, State Championship Basketball team, as the first commissioner.

The big supporters wanted to nominate and install the famous Bobby Plump, of the 1954 Milan High School Indiana, State Championship Basketball team, as the first commissioner. We start out as a football only organization and establish sane, sensible rules regarding conferences and membership. We create a fair and equitable playoff system that values regular season performance AND includes both private and public schools. We pay officials a reasonable rate per game that attracts both veteran and new officials. We listen to member schools and implement improvements that have grassroots support that put the athletes and member schools best interest first. We recruit the top 16 teams in each class to join us. Two of the class 6A schools are looking for a home right now. We deliver an exciting product for the fan on the field. We obtain corporate sponsorship on both a local and statewide level that allows member schools to retain 100% of all gate proceeds during the regular season and playoff runs. We offer monetary rewards to each school as they advance through the playoffs from the corporate funds. We present the fans and schools the opportunity to participate in the First Harrison Bank Sectional 48 Championship @ CORYDON, the Harrahs Regional 4 Championship @ Anderson, the Toyota Southwestern SemiState Championship @ Evansville, and the Indianapolis Colts Indiana State Championship @ Lucas Oil Stadium Once we prove we can deliver a quality football product then we can work on other sports. Again all suggestions welcome for this slightly tongue in cheek idea. Who knows we surely can present a better product than the current system. 🏈🏆🥇 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteshoes Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Agree that travel decisions should be left up to the local school board. But who wants to see Hoover or IMG play in our state? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not every week, but I like the idea of out-of-state competition coming to play every once in a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how it fair for some to be able to travel to such things and not others Yep, if you are a "club sport" you can go anywhere you want. I've experienced that when my girls where playing Rugby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they may have competition in the field of managing high school sports and sponsoring post season tournaments. Is that such a bad thing? Glad to see you are taking the managerial lead in this exciting endeavor, SenatorFan. My role as a GID idea man has born fruit again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually leads to improvement in the end product. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
