Look list the kids that cross the river and play football and are catholic 8th graders!!!! I guess the starting RB for T wanted that catholic education, He never goes to I catholic mass on sunday I know were he goes, and to the post by rock mom but You think it is easy to recruit that have to pay. I am sure the kid that cross the river and who are not catholic get finial aid, plus work study plus sponsership, which probably adds up to 0.0000. Of course we can prove the Aid and work study but Never can prove the sponsership.

 

THis is what gets me>>> If I was a catholic Parent who didnt make that much money who busted my butt just to send my kid to Catholic grade school, and to see a kid from a non-catholic school and NOT EVEN CATHOLIC get to go to X and T Cheaper and sometimes through Sponsership, free. Why because he can run faster or tackle better then My CATHOLIC SON. who has been raised in the chruch all of his life, but not that fast but a good football player and a great Catholic kid. Where I get 500.00 for the year and maybe another 1000.00 through work study. The kid that can run faster and tackle better gets to pay alot less. trust me I know we have a St X. transfer who was not Catholic went to Newbreg and all of a sudden could afford St. X, and never thought about X untill they called him his 8th grade year, where he just happened to be the best running back for a public school league. He payed only 300 a month which is 3600.00 a year, quite a lot cheaper then my kid. And he said there were other players that payed less and who all were non catholic. So Me as a parent busting my butt and have been catholic and true all and all have to pay more then the athelete who can run faster, TO ME THAT IS A SLAP IN THE FACE. Not only do they get more of a discount many times the school finds transportation for the non-Catholic kid that can tackle better. Well as a Catholic parent I would be up there so fast and complain untill they gave my kid the same discount. But people turn their head and dont want to believe the truth. Does that situation make you mad????? It would me Especialy after all of these catholic grade schooler are going to puplic high schools, ask them if they only payed the same as the top Non catholic athlete, et 100% would go to a catholic high school. But they cant because they dont run and jump as good as a non-catholic kid down the road. That is a same, is the reason why catholic school kids for the majority go to public school. If X and T took care of their own 1st, instead of the five or six non-catholic athlete. I have talked to parents and they send their Sons to T and X and get 500. a year,(which is the average, WOW yepi) but like I said people turn theiir heads and dont want to believe the reality.

 

There is no sponserships at X also, how many times does that have to be said. Everyone pays something, period and point blank.

It is interesting to note the difference in point of view. Rejects vs family. etc. LOL.

Rejects can still be family. In fact, they often make the tighest kind.

So you've never head of ANYTHING under the table? Lets all be intellectually honest here- NO ORGANIZATION is free from that kind of corruption. Not College sports, not HS, not anything. And it isn't something that private schools probably have a monoploy on either, but because there is IMPLICITLY money involved with high priced private education, the likelyhood that something dirty is going on SOMEWHERE is increased.

Good one.

Thank you.

With my constant 15 + years involved in X I have never witnessed any of that.

Let me tell you about ME as a parent. My son played grade school ball, in a Catholic grade school, and goes to Trinity and played there. He became a receiver entering Trinity. Guess what, one of the best receivers on the team isn't Catholic....the others went to Catholic grade schools. So, what did we do as a family? We let him play. We watched him go from a 3rd stringer freshman year, to a starting spot his Sophomore year, while some of the others dressed varsity. Do you know what we did then? We let him play.

 

You want to know what HE did? He worked his butt off to improve his skills, improve his speed, learn the system. Did he complain about anyone ahead of him talent-wise, or because of their religion? NO! Did we think one thing about those kids being there, or why they chose Trinity? NO! He did his part, and worked hard to do what it took to earn his playing time. We did our part and supported our son in his efforts, and supported his/our team in their efforts.

 

If we didn't qualify for financial aid, it's not the fault of the kid who did. We knew what the cost would be, and we made the concessions to make that happen. To me, Trinity took care of one of their "own"....a kid in their school, who wanted to attend, but needed some financial aid to do so. By golly, I'm proud to say to say the did!

 

Of course you are, and so is the kid that Just took money out of the Catholic school kids pocket because he can play football better, and that is the only reason the choose t and X if they are not catholic and play football anyhow. I am sure there are non catholic kids that go there but dont play football, I am talking about football right now. Like I said call it Aid or what you want.. It still would make me mad if I as a true Catholic religion and faith could not afford to send my kids to a catholic high school because they deemed it that I made to much money, THEN I see a kid whose going and playing for the high school My son should be, and he his getting Half or more off JUST because he can play football. Just like the Minority scholarship that appeared at SH Crystal Kelys 8th grade year, that money could have went to a family who had busted their butt to send their little girl to catholic grade school and paid for high school which was a four year scholarship by the way. But Kely could hoop. and by the way went to a public grade school all of her life.

 

Like I say the deeply in grained will always come up with an excuse, but I bet if all of the families of T and X were given what each athlete and non athlete had to pay I Bet there would be a little up-roar.

And they say there's no bias! :lol: So, we Catholics should keep to our own, and leave all those other kids alone, huh?

By the way. One of our non-Catholic football players also plays basketball. Oh...wait....you're only mad because we play good football.... :lol:

Despite what all the publics believe an outside agency decides the financial aid not Coach Glaser and Beatty. Be mad at them not me. If my child wants to go private than I have to know what I can pay and how much they will charge me not little jack or Jill. Just my child. I do not want to know what everyone else is getting. What do I have to do to get it done? Maybe it is not moving or driving an old bucket until they are out of school. Only each family can decide that.

I know the player you speak of very well and as a teammate of his planned to and had family attend X he was around that very often and got a taste on his own. I know that fact. One of his coaches at HP played at X and is also non Catholic African American private school grad and maybe he told him of his experiences. Although that Catholic Family may not be as wealthy as most they still have more money than the full aid students. You have to have all social classes and colors to make an environment diverse enough to be a great learning environment. Those kids catholic or not deserve a right to attend a private school no matter their religion if they feel they want to. So Pete you are saying that your kid should not be at the school with a non-catholic kid? Also Pete who is up for the Butler job, any clues?

 

Never said no non catholic but at the same time I would rather the US pay a full ride to a USA student then a kid from CANADA. I never said not to let kids go to catholic schools, all I am saying is it would make me mad if I being catholic could not send my kid to T or X, but see kids there that I know could not afford it but know that they are there because they play sports or get money or discounts. And if you been around X for twenty years and never heard "sponership" then your hanging around the Biology Club and not the wheelers and dealers of the school..

Ahhhh yes....America...the land of opportunity. :lol:

 

I think I'm done responding to your posts. You are so far off base, and so determined to believe what you're saying that no amount of logic will penetrate.

I know It is based out of MIN,,but it only tells T and X what they ought to contribute, that company does not give X and T aid. They simply tell the parents what they should be able to afford. If you dont like what they say then you have to ask in writing for more money and help. that part is done by a board from each school. Now I know the excact process, trust me, if that still is not enough then you can go some other less talked about routes. As for as that company that everyone keeps saying X and T dont give out the money some company does. Actualy they do nothing but sugest as I stated earllier, X and T tell them how much they can give out in aid and the company just reseachers the parents income and things like that. Like a adminstrator at one of the schools told me "that company is just there to keep the parents off our backs, it only sugest not tell us what we do with our money", this company if came down to it does not care, they are getting paid to research not distribute money, and if you think I am wrong check it out.

"I guess the starting RB for T wanted that catholic education, He never goes to I catholic mass on sunday I know were he goes, and to the post by rock mom but You think it is easy to recruit that have to pay."

 

Wow, Pete, you must be really busy on Sundays to keep an eye on this person to see if he goes to his parish church or not. Maybe he goes to Mass on Saturday night at a different parish. Maybe even (GASP!) across the river in Louisville (OH LAWDY MAMA, TELL ME IT'S NOT TRUE!!).

 

Pete, you're foaming at the mouth. Calm down, you're gonna have a heart attack soon.
