Baldcoach Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Division I schools...public or private...are not allowed financial aid to any Varsity athletes. As for recruitment with other means I would guess that there are guilty parties both public and private. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topperman Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Yes , they should be allowed to play, but everyone knows the difference. I just don't think that private schools should pretend that they are not recruiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimeballer63 Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 The answer to this question is 'yes'. There is no reason why private schools should not be able to play a public school. I know for a fact that public schools "recruit" students to play for them. It happens all the time. If there's a will -- there's a way.

charlie Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Folks need to get off the Financial Aid thing. ALL public school students are on FULL financial aid. Also remember that private school parents still pay their taxes that support public schools. Be careful here that we are not promoting mediocrity - create a way to make everyone equal and everyone is happy, ala 5 classes in DI football.

mctigersportsfan Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Charlie -- When did you crawl from under your rock ??? Public schools are not full financial aid -- check my post on financial aid thread. If you have a problem with paying taxes and still sending your child to a private school, put him/her in a public school or SHUT UP whining about also supporting Public Schools. That was your decision not any of us who have a child in public schools. And as far as Public playing Private -- I don't have a problem with that. Marshall County and Lipscomb has become a very good, clean rivalry, in Football that I look forward to each year. I do not think that privates should compete in the same classifications as publics in regards to the championships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 (edited) mctigerfan- You are correct about choice. Choice is what America is all about. Then why should the private schools be punished - some of them essentially banned from the true TSSAA arena? Parents have a right to make choices without fear of being accused of everything in the world. TSSAA has a recruiting rule. All the private schools that I know of abide by it. If someone recruits, they should be reported. Good folks on this Board make general statements all the time about how private schools can/do recruit. They talk about financial aid as an athletic scholarship - there ain't no such thing!! At most of the older private schools, there are more students on FA that don't participate in varsity sports then those that do. Misinformation and rumors is how this public/private stuff got started and is perpetuated. Go visit a private school. Talk to their admissions people. Ask them about "scholarships". Ask them if their coaches are allowed to recruit athletes. You will either leave with your eyes opened or believing they lied to you. By the way - I was a member of the MCHS undefeated 1956 football Tigers. And I don't spend time under rocks.
