So, who do you think really wins following the vote yesterday?

The privates have just been given carte blanche to recruit. If you thought they were stealing your kids before, now it is legal.

They also were given free reign to go after the public school's good coaches, and they can pay them more than and they don't have to teach at the school.

And, is it not likely that because of those things, the quality of play in the public only leagues drops? Does anyone believe it will rise? Meaning, if you have a kid who you think has a chance of being good, do you want him playing in a weak league?

I guess, in short, does anyone see this improving sports in the public school divisions and if so, how?

Oh, and another issue just mentioned to me: Don't think the private schools will just recruit the best athletes. They will also go after the smartest kids and the best musicians, etc. Why shouldn't they?

 

They always have anyway, now the publics won't have to compete against their "own" kids to advance in the playoffs. With the progress of the voucher bill, it would have only been a few years before taxpayers would have been paying tuition for privates to take a public school's kids to beat them with. Makes me shake my head in wonderment that the general public can't see the impending failure of the public school system in this country...pay the privates to "cherry-pick" the athletes (and academic upper echelon) of their choosing from the public system, then compare privates and publics against each other.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.

      This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.

      Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.

      It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover.

      That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.
