The old private/public debate! jeez. still. EASY FIX.

[The Outfit]

if someone could provide a cancelled check or a tuition statement showing that a student has received financial assistance for athletic scholarships that would allow the continuation of the private/public debate! until then- why keep complaining!

until then- remember- recruiting is not illegal! it's done to keep the doors open! Don't be mad ya took a beating! Don't be mad they didn't recruit your kid! Just remember everyone has to work within the rules of the IHSA.

recruiting does not mean kids are receiving financial assistance to play for the school of their choice!

anything else is speculation like aliens, flat earth, and Elvis still being alive!

You can make an argument that the kid is a good student. And we want him/her to be apart of this great institution. Parents cleaning the bleachers after the game to work off the cost. Heck. Getting parents a job thru networking helps. There are many ways to help parents reduce the cost of tuition. Not sure how ethical some are. But if it’s legal, it doesnt matter.

It’s too bad you can’t figure out the general population, the population of the school and try to figure out how to come up with a math equation.

Belleville Althoff vs Sterling Newman with both being in 1A doesn’t seem so fair for Sterling Newman. With Belleville being able to draw from a bigger population than Sterling.

Obviously, the Chicago privates like Hope who can draw from Chicago population is different as well.

I dont care if all the privates won 1 - 8A as long as there was a fair way for the school enrollment to reflect the school population versus the population that the school can get from the surrounding communities.

they have to stay within the boundaries... is it 50 mile or 20 mile radius?

i am sure i am missing some other private schools (not just catholic) Leo, DelaSalle, Mt Carmel, Saint Rita, Bro Rice all battle for the same kids.

It's freedom of choice i guess. Go where you want as far as the private schools within the boundaries.

my post is all ignotated from the Anticoch DC complaining. calling other schools all star schools/teams. That just rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe he should spend more time watching film and putting his scripts together than engaging social media... not fair for me to say that as I don't know how much time he puts in to his teams prep.

i should probably apologize but won't,

Most (all?) private schools drawing from larger populations are also competeting with many other private schools for those students.

Not to be a pain but recruiting is illegal for athletic purposes, per IHSA.

no pain... thank you for pointing that out,

i tried to say that recruiting is a must as private schools are private businesses. They must market their entire school experience to keep the doors open.

Thank you for the clarification.

The entire issue on this board is that the IHSA allows private schools to recruit to 'keep doors open' but do not allow public schools to do so without significant paperwork, ie. Maine South and Naperville Central (and undoubtedly LWE) in the past few years.

i would question that... the late great Gary Kohornen from Richard's used to openly recruit in his district! many times. i heard him say if he couldn't keep the kids in his district then he didnt deserve them.

Is your point public schools being able to recruit players outside their. district? Is that illegal as long as people do fill out their paperwork correctly?

Private schools have clear boundaries; public schools have clear boundaries... where is the advantage?
