  1. The money is in the education. The quality of the academics. There's absolutely nothing wrong with kids of lesser means getting to attend these institutions. It just offsets the balance of play in high school sports. Hence, the use of multipliers and separate divisions in progressive states. We can pretend its fair competition, make those of privilege feel special and important. But anyone looking.....can see the problem.

    First time I have ever heard Texas, Georgia and Alabama described at progressive states.

     

    What if a multiplier was used? What would the effect be? How would it change anything?

  2. So public schools are at a competitive disadvantage! Thank you for answering my question.

     

    Because they have chosen to put themselves at a disadvantage. How about answering some of the questions that have been posed to you. If school system A chooses only to admit students with odd numbered addresses they have put themselves at a disadvantage, should all other schools be expected to follow?

  3. Boone County Schools don't care about football but that's not the title of this thread.

     

    No, the title of and the gist of the thread is one that has been discussed ad nauseum here. Those of us that don't think there should be separate playoffs for private schools have always maintained that most of the advantages people see the private schools having are a results of limitations that public schools and/or school systems have placed on themselves.

  4. They have an advantage, things won’t change, so let them play and pretend it is equal. At the end of the day its a bunch of kids playing, and parents with large tuition bills that would have paid for college when little Johnney doesn’t get his big D1 scholarship. #go public

     

    Exactly what advantages do they have?

     

    Aren't any of them outweighed by the large tuition bills you mention?

  5. Any rules at any public school that prevents out of county or out of state players are strictly self imposed. They have chosen to restrict themselves.

     

    Some schools in KY drug test and kids can be removed from athletic competition for violations. Some schools have more stringent academic eligibility requirements then those mandated by the KHSAA. Would those schools be right to expect all other schools adopt and abide by those same constraints?

  6. Article basically states that allegations of recruiting violations against the boy's team have surfaced as part of the lawsuit brought by the fired girl's coach.

    The Kentucky High School Athletic Association is investigating the Bowling Green High School boys basketball program for recruiting violations during its 2016-17 state championship season, according to a lawsuit filed by former Bowling Green girls basketball coach LaVonda Johnson.

     

    Joe Angolia, communications director for the KHSAA, confirmed Tuesday “there is an ongoing review of the 2016-17 Bowling Green boys basketball team.”

     

    According to the lawsuit filed Oct. 2 in Warren Circuit Court, Johnson “provided information to the KHSAA regarding the alleged violations … throughout the 2016-17 school year.”

  7. When Trinity played Male the Bulldogs didn't seem to have the swagger they've had recently. When Trinity played X they came out fired up but their O couldn't match up with Trinity's D. If Male uses their athleticism, and I really don't think they did that against Trinity, they can get the win. If they try to play the more conservative game they did against Trinity then X will win.

  8. I'm old enough to remember when most people only carried major medical. They paid out of pocket for routine stuff. I clearly remember going to my GP as a teen with my siblings for booster shots. My mom paid for all 5 of us and it was less then 20 bucks. People need to stop expecting that everything will be paid for. The more they want covered the higher the cost will be.

  9. I am a season ticket holder at PJCS for Louisville games and have been since Schnellenberger was on the on the sidelines at the Fairgrounds. Does it take "to long" to play a college game? Between what seem like constant media time outs that seem to last forever, and the delays in the flow of the game caused by the college replay rules, it just seems to me the games last to long. The UofL Murray game kicked off right at 3:30 last Saturday and I left the stadium at the end of the game at 6:40. I've been to NFL games with the same 15 minute quarters and they don't seem to take as long to play.

  10. Trinity's seniors may be few but most contribute- QB- Bohn, WR- Strothman, WR- Bailey #13, C- Sears, OT- Murray, NG-Auxier, LB-Hull, LB-Cardosi, DE-Ruckreigel, DE-McDuffie, LB-Dissel, DB-Jones- all these kids played a significant part in the victory.

    Nice post but unfortunately Murray hasn’t played a down this year due to a pre season injury.
