    In-Season Participation Bill

    Without specific language....travel/outside organizations will take over even more than they have. These outside travel/leagues shouldn't run simultaneously as the high school seasons. If the thought is that a kid will do both....you're dilusional. This will especially create conflict in...

    IHSA March Meeting Three Significant Changes To Classification Policy

    Putting lipstick on a pig. You can do all you want to try to make 2 different systems of obtaining athletes more equitable.....won't matter. IHSA is a joke.

    Public 106 Private 62

    The data that's been shared throughout the state paints a pretty clear picture. 49 Private schools with 11 man football. 471 public. Privates make up 10% of the playoff field (again since 2001) but have one 39% of the championships and have won 71% of the playoff matchups (since 2001). I...

    Q of the Week: So what's the fix?

    1. Seed all classes 1-32. There was a proposal by committee that if round 1 of the playoffs the distance was within 150 miles total of the distance traveled even if divided between a north/south....then it was seeded 1-32. In some years....there is more travel round 1 with a North/South split...

    Public Semifinalists- 22 Private- 10

    The argument goes long before Antioch posting the football information. Parents from soccer were complaining a couple of years ago when is was private champions throughout. I understand this site is private school dominate, but objectively you can't deny it. You can go ahead and post the...

    Public Semifinalists- 22 Private- 10

    As well they should and eventually will be.

    Proposal to replace multiplier

    Ramblin. You don't have to believe me...you wouldn't anyway. "Some" is 2 that I know of. Not naming any schools. This thread has moved onto even deeper issues with some private schools and I'm not going that route. There's a ton of private school guys on this site. You can pose the issue...

    Proposal to replace multiplier

    Ramblin. I'm not posting the names of the players or schools where this has happened and is currently happening and you sure can call me out on that. You can feel comfort that this isn't happening in these private schools, but even those coaching and working at private schools can tell you...

    Proposal to replace multiplier

    There are some paying nothing and it's not based on financial need.

    Proposal to replace multiplier

    There are athletes paying nothing to attend some of these private schools. Whoever doesn't know this, is clueless. Move on. Wasted discussion.

    Proposal to replace multiplier

    Well it's not about a single round game from a single team, obviously. All of this discussion isn't about a single round. It's over many years. And you've made my point for me. Public schools like Maine East and Maine South (although maybe Maine South isn't the best example here) are under...

    Proposal to replace multiplier

    Ramblin. They all operate under the same parameters correct? They need to recruit better and hit up the donors like the others. If we separated and then included all 49 privates into a playoff....would that be better?

    Proposal to replace multiplier

    The 30 mile radius system schools really have 2 levels within that. Ramblinman is correct. Within the 49 teams.....really the ESCC and CCL teams are the ones that a fixed muliplier should pertain to. Your really small private schools aren't really part of this issue in football. Can't speak...

    Proposal to replace multiplier

    Ahhhh. Now a discussion I like. Let me preface, I have not, researched enough. Any other states handle this issue in a way that most would agree with? Should we be looking at another state that handles this correctly? I don't know if anyone here has brought up a model in another state that...
