Are we in agreement that BD and WC have potential for really good football seasons this year? Yes, but that was also the general consensus last year and only one panned out. I like BD’s team a lot entering next fall but are we really going to discount Center Grove AGAIN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't....but sometimes an intentional omission is in itself a statement. You mentioned that Carmel may get MIC readmission consideration because the AD is such a good guy. My question to you is admission to a conference for the state largest school (by far) a little bit deeper than if one major player is a nice guy?? Admittance is based on whether an AD is "liked" or not?? One school is admitted and one is not based upon AD popularity? That sounds more like a country club without rules. That is your comment that I am asking you to expound a little more..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone would be better off. Why don't they see this. Include CG and Carmel. The Catholics/Parocials should make their own conference as well.

Gipper Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I'll put it out there: Lafayette Jeff, Harrison, and McCutcheon. It makes as much sense or more than the Hautians. Less travel than in the NCC as the Star City is much closed to our state capitol than Muncie and Richmond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they would make any more sense for the MIC. Jeff and McCutcheon seem to fit pretty well in the NCC. Harrison has been dominant, winning the all-sport championship every year since they joined the conference. I think the only sport Harrison hasn’t won or been co-champion at least once since they joined is boys basketball, which shouldn’t come as a surprise considering the emphasis placed on boys basketball by all the other NCC schools. If geography was not a consideration, a trade between the NCC and Conference Indiana would be interesting. Something like this: Conference Indiana: Bloomington North, Bloomington South, Columbus North, Southport, Harrison, Lafayette Jeff, McCutcheon North Central Conference: Logansport, Kokomo, Marion, Muncie Central, Anderson, Richmond, Terre Haute North, Terre Haute South Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StatQueen Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Rumors spreading like wildfire that multiple school districts have top-down directives to NOT schedule CG for ANY sport!!! They are essentially taking their ball and going home.... want CG off the books. Should the IHSAA step in???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southport can’t be too happy that their conference foes consist of Bloomington North, Bloomington South, Columbus North, TH North and TH South. Southport isn’t good enough for the MIC, but I just can’t see them fitting into the Mid-States. This might seem crazy, but Southport should replace Tech in the NCC.

What about Bloomington North and South, Columbus East and North, Southport, and One more add to the Mid-State to create a 14 team mega conference. Create big school and small school divisions.

I did say “If geography was not a consideration…” My suggestion will never happen due in large part to geography. The similar enrollments, demographics, and strength of competition would make a lot of sense in my opinion, but geography is just too prohibitive for that swap to actually work.

The Sagamore doesn’t want Tri-West, Danville, and Lebanon anymore. There would be a large gap in enrollment but all three are growing. TW, Leb, Jeff, McCutcheon, Harrison, Danville. Thoughts?

That would leave just Frankfort, Crawfordsville, North Montgomery, South Montgomery, and Western Boone in the Sagamore. I thought the move was towards larger conferences, not smaller ones? Not sure a 5-school conference in this part of the state is viable anymore. If Tri-West, Lebanon, and Danville leave or are kicked out of the Sagamore look for the entire conference to dissolve shortly after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
