    Upstate Eight (East)

    GBS replaced WWS, Aurora East, and Larkin with Breman, Lake Park, and West Aurora. I will give credit where credit is due, definitely a better OOC schedule, more balanced for them to compete.

    ND opts out of Bowl season. Thoughts....

    According to AI referencing USA Today and New York Times you get few days to a week to respond but saying most respond in a few hours. So not sure, but my point stands if they had the opportunity to wait a few days they should have.

    ND opts out of Bowl season. Thoughts....

    Interesting, thanks did not know that. So you need to respond within hours, do you know what the actual rule is for response to invite? Can respond undecided or maybe (jk).

    ND opts out of Bowl season. Thoughts....

    Very true they don't need it, but like anything else when you are a vaca/trip around the holidays and they are promoting a particular charity it's just more likely you might donate, that's all. Even more so after a win 😂. Yes correct, all is just my opinion. Just one click on the guide and the...

    ND opts out of Bowl season. Thoughts....

    While I don't necessarily disagree with the decision I think several things could have been done differently to help the optics not look so rough. 1. The coaches should have advised the players to take 48 hrs before holding an emotional vote and decision only a few hours after what would have...

    Breaking: Legislative Commission Forwards 11 Proposals to IHSA Member Schools, 12 Total on Ballot

    I am curious on proposal 12, this could be troublesome. I see $$ playing a role and could lead to recruiting loopholes "come to our school we have a free combine with xyz coming". Could be reading it wrong, who dictates what combines are allowed and what and how many schools can attend? Will...

    Success Factor

    No unfortunately I did not see them, and I didn't mean it applied to all. You can find examples both ways,. For example 7A Larkin from Elgin cancelled games because they didn't have enough. I am pretty sure they would have loved to have the 40 from St Francis.

    Yeah I guess I just feel enrollment is a antiquated system for class placement. When all teams play with 11 per side. I mean I have seen 5A public varsity team sidline look vacant compared to 700 person private sideline, so I don't think enrollment always translates 1 to 1. I understand what...

    Success Factor

    In keeping with the IHSA theme of transparency, I always wondered why not just take the address of players in private schools and average their would be public school classes to determine that teams class instead of the multipliers? I feel it's simple, transparent, and could help limit some of...

    Unfortunately I agree with most of what you said, the adults in the room will never make the changes needed.Only issue with your statement is youth programs in highly dense areas usually split into several highschools. One program I know splits into 6 separate highschools (2 private, 4 public)...

    Morris Parents post from Facebook if I can do it correctly

    Contrary to popular belief I do appreciate the banter, even though I am in the minority on this topic. I won't shy away, but also don't mind admitting when I am wrong on something. Thanks for the debate. I'm gonna tap out on this post as I won't be changing any minds and more importantly...

    Good point. You are correct, I was thinking on week basis when I posted.

    Morris Parents post from Facebook if I can do it correctly

    I wasn't there so I have no idea. But I was defending criticism as a whole in a different context based on the sentiment that all critism of coaches is bad. Maybe I should of started another post, but I read her post with the underline theme was about criticism of coaches. I started off...
