Indiana High School Athletic Association Commissioner Bobby Cox and state Sen. Mike Delph have announced an 11-stop statewide tour to discuss Indiana's class basketball system.

Delph offered legislation in January that would have returned the state to the single-class system it had used until the late 1990s. The Carmel Republican withdrew the proposal after Cox agreed to the statewide tour to discuss class basketball.

The tour begins April 10 at Fort Wayne Northrop High School, then heads to Vincennes Lincoln on April 16. Other stops: April 17, Plainfield; April 23, Seymour, April 24, Pendleton Heights, April 25, Merrillville; May 1, Milan; May 8, Plymouth; May 10, Marion; May 16, Connersville; and May 24 at Gary Roosevelt.

Each meeting will begin at 7 p.m. local time.

    Interesting comment Ed...the small schools were the ones who packed the IHSAA Board with numbers and then voted in the 4 class system. They apparently wanted to be discriminated against, it was the small schools agenda to make the tournament multi- class. That is part of why the proponents of a one class tournament won't let it go...there was little or no discussion when it changed...once they got enought small school representatives on the board they just voted it in. The truth is, the single class tournament was losing attendance before the change was made, and you have had a class tournament for 14 years now. If you restored the old format, you won't recapture the magic. And the Senator from Carmel needs to attend to things like stimulating the economy and creating jobs, instead of always posturing, always having some phony crusade that distracts everyone from the fact that he has nothing of substance to offer. He is wasting his time, and our tax money. The IHSAA has a lot of stupid rules, is heavy handed in some situations, and completely abdicactes its' responsibility in others, but member high schools in the state of Indiana have embraced the orgainization and the way it governs (not that there is an alternative), so the Legislature should stay out of it. I personally favor going back to the old tournament format, but I want Mr. Delph and the rest of the Legislature to do what they were elected to do, and this is far outside of their responsibilities.

    The ONLY people that the "Class"(Caste) system benefits are the Larger Schools who think they are too Good to play with the smaller schools. Indiana is NOT about Discrimination, but this "Keep Down the Smaller Schools" system is RIFE with Discrimination.

  1. The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.

  2. I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!

  3. Coming from her background,she should be used to those kinds of advances! Menard probably figured it was ok to tuck a buck!

  4. I'm still waiting for the list of available, high quality apartments in the Village.

  5. This criminal masquerading as a lawyer obviously has serious issues. He’s been proven by his own testimony to be a pathological liar and probably has a personality disorder as he seems to be constructing a reality around himself. He places no value on truth, honesty or loyalty as evidenced by what he has done to his clients and his own family. And by the demands and lies he has made in court, it is evident he feels entitled to do and say whatever suits his purpose and everyone else is expected to nod obediently and believe him because he is, after all, Bill Super Lawyer; or BS lawyer for short. This millionaire wanna-be no longer owns anything of value; he squandered it and put everything he had into foreclosure. He has no money, house, car, boat or vacation home left to show for what he earned or what he stole. He’s just another loser without morals who will be doing time. I’m certain all of his courtroom shenanigans are antagonizing his poor victims. As Lamar said, his behavior and claims in court have been outrageous. The judge needs to be more than concerned; he needs to be judicial and end this nonsense.
