There is no doubt there are brilliant kids in public school doing amazing things academically. They've made choices and are excelling within those choices. However, at the same time, there are a lot of people making the choice to pay a lot of money for the perceived academic benefits of these private schools. If those benefits aren't there then a lot of people are wasting significant amounts of money. Either way, if a family believes there is value in attending these schools, and they happen to have a kid who dreams of college athletics, are you saying that the kid should have to give up a year of eligibility, thereby jeopardizing their college athletic opportunities, in order to transfer to the school of their choice? Other than Ad's and coaches who want to minimize competition I don't see how that benefits anyone, particularly the kids.
