Not all parochial schools are dominant or even prevalent in most sports. Do they not "recruit" or do they just do it poorly? Do schools with open enrollment recruit? You can bet that some do. Some schools without open enrollment have been accused of recruiting or have been assumed to be recruiting. Will changing the OHSAA rules change any of that? It's doubtful. If OHSAA membership sets up separate tournaments for parochial schools, you can bet there'll be a lawsuit. I'm not sure there's a good answer except to make the definition of recruiting very specific and to somehow make certain that it is effectively enforced.
Creates a definite loss of prestige for the Horizon League. HL needs to aggressively pursue one or more programs with good post-seson history which, like Butler, are looking to move up to a conference with a higher RPI.
Hmmm...the "Closed" and "Open" division idea is interesting, but would we then have 14 state champions? Not good. The current proposal remains too complex. It also doesn't significantly close the top-to-bottom enrollment gap in Division I. To be "fair," each division should have approximately 14% of the number of schools competing in football. Figure in one standard "multiplier" for parochial and open enrollment schools if need be. After that, it's pretty simple math.
Tax system needs to be changed...for EVERYONE. That's fair. A 30% minimum tax is punitive. How about removing the earnings ceiling for paying Social Security tax and do means testing for benefits. That'd shore up that program. As for Buffett, why is he still in at least two corporate tax fights? Just pay what they say you owe, Warren, and throw a couple of million on top of it. Tell your rich buddies to do the same. All our problems are solved...NOT! I'll guarantee Washington can spend it faster than all of us can send it in.
This will hurt. Fickiesen isn't really quick enough to be a point guard, but she is a hard-nosed, aggressive, tenacious player who could be an offensive threat.
I hope parents involved don't stand by their little sweethearts. These kids need a dose of reality...some "tough love." Any adults involved should be ashamed of themselves and be prosecuted to the fullest extent the law will allow. We are too far along the path of becoming a self-indulgent, disrespectful society. The inmates are beginning to run the asylum.
He shouldn't come back to Youngstown. Too many temptations to fall back into old habits. Stay in Oxnard; stay clean. Otherwise this just becomes a "Bum of the Month" tour and Kelly will wind up being one of the bums.
Wing Warehouse has been looking at YSG and other locations locally for several months. Lone Star building had a "sold" sign on it briefly, but apparently is still available.

Poland village panel to recommend cuts in face of projected $200K deficit
How about allowing at least on-premise beer & wine sales? Several quaint buildings would make great, tax dollar generating little bistros.
