How a public school does depends 100% on shifting demographics. Private schools are not impacted by shifting demographics as much. If one area has more young families than another area, private school can target that area.
Simple solution. Move out of my current neighborhood to say Waukegan...
Let's give everyone a choice and level the playing field. Every school can recruit and offer "financial aid" packages. Would the private schools be ok with that system? My guess, probably not.
So the star athlete in Mundeline can attend Lake Forest for a discounted price since he can run a 4.3.
We're changing the system to adopt IHSA rules. Going forward, only residents of Ohio can attend Ohio State. It's a hypothetical.....geez.
Or, let's just say all schools can recruit.
Pretty simple. Only residents of Ohio can attend Ohio State (similar to only residents of XYZ district can attend ABC school). Notre Dame and other private schools can recruit kids from all states (similar to Mount Carmel). I'm sure the NCAA and the public schools will think this system is...
Can we institute the IHSA rules into college football?
Notre Dame, USC, etc... can recruit from across the nation, and UM, OSU, etc.... are limited to residents of their respective states.
Seems fair to me.
I read somewhere that Mount Carmel pulls kids from 40 miles away from the school. Is that true?
What a competitive advantage compared to public schools.
Cornell did it 76 years ago...as the article states, a time in which "character trumped a championship bid." Years later, commentator and longtime college football observer Beano Cook would rank Cornell's magnanimous gesture as the No. 2 moment in the sport's long and storied history — behind...
They did. Should have said we're not playing. We didn't win. There's no judgment call. There's no interpretation of the rule. Simply rule, apparently hard to follow.
Going for the 4A basketball state championship tonight (2nd in 2013, 3rd in 2014).
Football 8A Champs in 2014 (semi-final in 2013).
Excellent senior class.
