If you give enough chimps word processors they'll type the bible too, since you'll need an explanation that means, if you throw enough shit at the wall some will stick!
Changes need to be made!!

The point of classes is not to see what school can get the most move ins to make themselves the best. If that was the case there should be no classes at all.
Rebuttal to what? What you said makes no sense unless you can give an example of a school that gets a bunch of transfers each year...
But I agree with you, what Phillips is doing is not what IHSA football needs..
Let me know when you have the list of Rochester transfers currently in the program.... ok?
Give me a list proving all of their players had been in the district since 5th grade.
HHS,
Regarding the whole 30 mile radius and the like and the advantage you feel it provides, I'm open to opening up the recruiting to every school like we have in PA. If a student wants to go to a school and doesn't live in the district, he/she can attend the chosen public school for the cost of tuition which equals what is spent on the average student for the year(you saying paying tuition is not a disadvantage so this is no problem, right?). If they live in a "failing school" and decide to go to a different school that is passing the state standard, then the transferring school also transfers their state and local funding to the receiving school and the student is then billed or refunded the difference for their tuition. This "open boundaries" for "all" levels the playing field for both quality education and sports performance, while giving the students and parents a choice. The next issue to clear in PA will be tuition vouchers and could be coming in Illinois as well. So how's separation looking to everyone now!

Streator made the playoffs for the first time as an I-8 member in 5A this year...rest of I-8 large is 4A. Sandwich was on the 4A/5A border not too many years ago... Herscher is dropping towards 3A quickly...I-8 small is all 3A...10 years ago like 8 conference schools were between 560-600 kids...
Sure, assuming two conditions:
1. Private schools have to open up their books to audits so the IHSA can verify the athletes are paying tuition.
2. All private schools are required to meet the same mandates as the public schools.
Okay then the state can provide the vouchers as provided in other states.
Regardless of what you want to peddle the kids parents ARE PAYING Tuition! Stop your BS.

If you think all of the parents are paying tuition you are a bigger fool than I thought
What I find interesting is Rochester has 4 soccer state trophies since 2006...apparently they aren't just moving there for football...
Or...maybe SHG hasn't been as dominant as they were in the past...Is it possible that families that would have sent their kids to SHG have moved to Rochester to play for a Leonard without paying tuition...
There are scholarships available that are based on Need, do you have a problem with that? Those scholarships are evaluated by an independent third party clearinghouse, none of these cover tuition in full as you are implying in fact they don't even cover half of the tuition. Get your facts in check.
I realize the experts here know everything there is about Rochester.. but this year they had a grand total of ONE kid in the program that wasn’t in that district in kindergarten.. ONE
LOL, do you really believe that? If you do, that explains a lot.. how do you possibly know that kids at every school are paying their own way even after financial aid is applied?

Okay so open borders for all, open books for all, and no multiplier or success factor for all. Is that something your onboard for? Don't forget vouchers too? One other thing is it all about coaching or all about the talent the school has?
And all private schools need to agree to all mandates that the public schools must follow..
If you complain they play that good ole race card.Look at JRW Little League had kids from Lansing,South Holland & further.And STILL expected LL to give them a free pass
Then name them...
Cox twins came over from Williamsville in a move that was not initiated by football and they were studs.. a couple of years ago was a transfer that people made a big deal out of, the kid didn’t even start.. #15 this year was from Chatham, he went to live with his dad..
So in 10 year run, three kids that started? WOW
Mac would close within a month if they had to pay for state mandates and I am sure there are others..
All.... Wrong (what a surprise) The twins had issues in Williamsville but when they had enough with Bullet nonsense it was about getting a trophy and a ring at Rochester. That was their FIRST consideration, which is fine. They were not about to go back to their old school district before attending Williamsville which was Lanphier H.S. in Springfield. I know the family quite well by the way. Ratsy
The dad said on another forum that if not for the incidents. they would have remained at Williamsville.. only way I am wrong is if the dad is wrong..
And beyond the reasons for these two kids transferring, even you and your hatred/jealousy for Rochester can't provide a list of transfers...
Provide a list of all the names of current football players currently going to private school for free.
Information I am asking you to back up is very simple to obtain...
What you are asking for is much tougher.. but for decades Mac has brought in kids from Pembroke JHS, a couple each year.. and that school is often 100% low income, imagine no running water and dirt floors.. But they have $8K for tuition??? Of course not, but I know the guys that did write the checks..
"some guys" writing checks is different than private schools giving kids a free ride. Lucky for those Pembroke kids they can get $7,500 from the state starting this year.
I'm just waiting for the list.. I keep hear about all of these transfers that the private school guys are claiming they get.. but not one of you have came up with a name of a kid that's transferred.
