If private schools don't recruit what is that other league all about?
They developed it for the programs who do recruit and I can have some respect for those programs such as BGA and Brentwood who actually acknowledged the fact and entered the league, but the schools that reamined in public education and found their way around the rules I have no respect for whatsover.
Sure they stopped for a brief period after the new league was formed, but then they started testing the waters, and when they found there would be no penalties for their actions they went right back to the same old recruiting just in a little sneaker way.
Does anybody remember the few short years when DCA quit recruiting? It was those years when they were not able to compete.
When CPA popped up with all those Division I prospects on one team and dominated single A all the privates thought, "Well if they can do it; we can do it too." and we are back to where we started.
They are winning championships with other communities players, and I personally can not see how can they be proud of that? Sure I think that public schools can compete every now in then when they have that perfect team come along but the privates can have that perfect team year in and year out. I do not think that USJ will fair well against the Huntingdon's and Milan's next year but sooner or later they will have their day as the cycle of talent revolves in those public schools and does not waiver near as much in the private. I have been watching private versus public for several years and this has always been the case.
The only way to take care of the problem is to give them the total boot out! I just wish the TSSAA would step up to the plate and hit that homerun.
Just a few thoughts from a fan who hates to see the rich private sector buy state and regional championships for their school in any classification.
