This Thread is Too Funny

I thought this was extremely funny in an ironic way. I'm sure most of you have read it, but for those who have not:

Ouch!! The silence on this thread is deafening!

If this is an indication that rules were broken, a complaint should be filed. Recruiting is wrong regardless who does it.

The point is, we're hearing all kinds of cries to punish private schools because they can get students from anywhere (even if they don't), but not to punish those public schools that have the same potential.

Thats not correct. Most posters who haven't really followed the debate or followed press releases from the TSSAA and such do not know that the issue of open zones and urbans schools are being considered in the same breath as the privates. The Virginia Plan/Plan Z are an attempt to address these issues both public and private.

The point silverpie makes is essentially correct, beethoven, because the multipliers proposed are higher for private schools than they are for open zoned publics. Since the battle cry of the publics for a split is the ability pf the private schools to get players from anywhere, the multiplier for open zoned publics should be the same.

 

The discussion on the football board linked here by itzme in his post above, proves what everyone has known for a long time. Many public schools, not just Maryville, have the ability to get student athletes from other zones admitted to their schools. This activity is not illegal, but it renders the rhetoric of many of the public supporters as open hypocricy. Here is the smoking gun at a high profile public program that all of you have tried to discount for the past two years.

 

Kudos to Volgen for his tireless commentary on this issue.

True but, I've heard grumblings of an Urban only multiplier which would encompass nearly all of the private schools anyway. It also wouldn't hurt Maryville to go play 5A. Riverdale needs the competition on that side of the bracket.

As I said on another thread, I think there will only be a URBAN multiplier for a handful of counties plus some version of the Virginia Plan.

It's not that it happens (which we all knew) that is so funny, but the lack of shame or denial that makes it so different. I particularly thought Rebelron's post was indicative. I just really enjoyed the irony.

Thanks gobigred.

 

Nothing more than objective, unbiased, common sense.

Wait a minute...some public schools get atheletes who aren't in their "zones"? Woah!

 

Do ya think that some small public schools do to? My whole world just turned upside down...

Just another example of the good programs getting the best players whether they are public or private. No matter how you slice it up there will never be a level playing field. Virginia, kentucky, alaska, it doesn't matter what the plan, someone will always be dominant.
