@gregrakestraw @IHSAAtv While I know streaming is the thing nowadays, is the reason for no OTA tv a financial decision, seems to me IHSAA is missing the boat

@RickyVandy @IndyStarSports I said Fox Sports Net. Which became Bally Sports. Now a Fanduel channel on cable.

@IndyStarSports Really wish there was an alternative live broadcast of the boys basketball sectional draw. I've criticized the presentation in the past with reasonable criticism. There used to be on FOX Sports Net. Just want a more relatable live broadcast of the IHSAA sectional draws.

@IHSAAtv @ENKnights @IHSAA1 @LIUNA You can post highlights but not show the game for no charge? SMH. Shame on you! Not all families can afford to watch their kids or support their community. Just shame on you @IHSAAtv

The @ENKnights strike first with an 80 yd TD pass in the 2024 @IHSAA1 4A Football State Finals! This 1st score highlight is brought to you by the 12,000+ Hoosier men and women with Laborers District Council and affiliated local unions that build Indiana... we are @LIUNA.

@RicheyWambach @IHSAA1 Yeah, we gotta solve a problem. There's 3 times more public schools than private yet 6 of the 8 teams playing for a state championship are public. How are we going to get better representation for the private schools?

@IHSAA1 My point proves your system is broken with the private schools. These schools go out and recruit and get away with it. Level the playing surface. I’ve seen this all first hand .

Almost certain Bethesda Christian just started playing basketball maybe 5 years ago and they’re already one of the best 1a programs in the state 🤓. Make it make sense .

Congratulations to the eight teams that cut down semi-state championship nets tonight! The #IHSAA, @Pacers and @IndianaFever look forward to hosting you for the 114th Annual Boys Basketball State Finals at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in two weeks (March 30)! 🏆🏀🔥 ▶️ihsaa.org/sports/boys/ba…

@Bearmo17 @IHSAA1 Fox/Bally charged you $3.50 per month for their channel on DirecTV. Bally cancelled their contract with the IHSAA. No system or station came forward to buy the rights. All sporting events will eventually be all-carte allowing you to buy what you want and don't. It's reality.

@RickyVandy @IHSAA1 I had watched it for the past several years on Direct TV so if you consider that pay TV I agree. Just remember growing up that was something I couldn’t wait to see. Everything has changed and those memories are gone for a lot of people. You can’t argue that.

@IHSAA1 Too bad hardly anyone saw the game due to the new streaming and not on television. Looks like it might have been a good game.

@cshank1 @IHSAA1 During the sectional and regional leveled games, streaming is done by independent webcasters who purchase rights to webcast. Not all games will be streamed and there is no guarantee. At the semi-state level for most major sports, all sites are covered and streamed as PPV

Hey @IHSAA1 if you are going to have a school host a Regional, make sure they can live stream the games.

@mmessengerpga What states? The IHSAA only controls post season tournaments. Additionally, if the IHSAA were to hold a holiday tourney, how do schools handle the loss of revenue from their local holiday tourneys? Would a holiday tourney impact the plans of athletes who travel on xmas?

@RunnerBill @DaleGasaway @JMV1070 Was watching Bally/Fox free or were you paying $42 a year for that priveldge? Oh wait, you were! 59 never had the contract, 40 had it at the end of the last century.

@DaleGasaway @JMV1070 The IHSAA still received money back when local stations covered the games. I believe 59 and perhaps 40 covered them before Fox Sports IN did. What sucks is you already pay for internet access, then pay more for the games.

@MarkHeintz5 @IHSAA1 It hasn't been 'free' since 2013 and even then, only to a select few with rabbit ears. Did you think Bally Sports was free?

@IHSAA1 disappointed that the half million people in Indiana’s second largest county can’t watch Indiana State High School football finals for free. Not a great way “to encourage and direct wholesome amateur athletics” for youth who look forward to representing their school.

The @NWHS_Football Panthers will be the home team on Saturday at the IHSAA Class 4A state football finals. NorthWood will be in black uniforms, so hopefully we've seen the last of the silver on white jerseys! 😀

@GreggDoyelStar Frankly, tired of your hate and division narrative targeting those that 'grew up here' and who didn't transplant from an island. Hate must sell newspapers.

Big-time HS football coaches are hearing talk that the Indiana legislature will pass a law before next season allowing a one-time transfer rule for athletes. Coaches aren’t happy - “Wild West,” one just texted me - but as I wrote recently, blame the IHSAA. indystar.com/story/sports/c…
