You have me confused with the old man constantly telling this board what poor and less fortunate schools need to do with their football programs. Watching you become unhinged has been a treat. Spoiler alert: I was never hinged to begin with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't recognize DT as anything but a walking contradiction than I can't help you, although I'm not sure you were worth saving to begin with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about providing students an opportunity to learn through participating in athletics, win, lose, or draw. At many small schools, cross country is the only option for fall sport athletes, as many smaller schools don't field a soccer team. It's arguable that more soccer programs will pop up if football is contracted at many schools, although many small schools might decide not to go in that direction. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing devil’s advocate here because I think football is an outlier. Doesn’t safety play a factor somewhere here?

Checkmate. I hope your find something productive to do with the rest of your day. No, the commentary in this thread is not "clear". And the thread post by Old Man High Pants you linked to was discussing school consolidation, not football program consolidation/co-op. These are two very different things, would you agreed? No, chief, DT has been very consistent regarding his opinions regarding school consolidation and football program consolidation. So very far from a "checkmate". But again, nice try. As for being productive, I've been very much so. Been configuring web server software datasources to use a updated version of a database driver and testing those against a new DB server our DBA recently stood up. Unlike you I can walk and chew gum at the same time. Edited June 22, 2022 by Muda69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would players at a consolidated school have to worry about traveling to practice 4 days a week if they were all in the same building? I realize reading in-between the lines isn't one of your fortes but at least give it a try. Edited June 22, 2022 by Footballking16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe constantly reading in-between the lines, trying to insinuate something that really isn't there in a desperate attempt to pull a "gotcha!" on DT and others, is your forte. I take a written medium like an internet forum at face value. Yeah, DT may have complained about the practice travel times but he quickly followed that up with that as a "city guy" he would not like to do it, but understood that a "country guy" could find such travel acceptable. He did not discredit the entire idea, not by a longshot. You still seem to have a problem with separating and understanding school consolidation from football team/program consolidation. They can be two different things, at least in other states. And as I have previously stated the IHSAA would be wise to also bless such football team/program consolidations. Of course in the Ivory Tower that is Cathedral football, ideas such as football program consolidation would seem very strange and foreign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the major reasons I ended up at private junior high and subsequently Cathedral was due to the consolidation and subsequent merging of athletic programs in my district. But yes go off and tell me what I do and don't know. Puts you in the exact same category as that clown Temptation for assuming you know a single thing about me, simply based off the high school I attended years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
