Yeah, I'm having a tough time with that one too. I, like everyone else have heard that scholarships are awarded to students as incentive to play a particular sport. If true that's play for pay to me. Can I prove it? Nope. If you can, please do. You can't because it's not true. It's that simple. Lik...

1. I didn't say it doesn't happen as you say (in fact I'm pretty sure I have said multiple times that it does) but that is the exception, not the rule. Please give me an alternative! Every rule/law we have is designed for the 1% who choose to abuse a situation. You are trying to design a rule to st...

Wow! The discussion on tehis thread is getting more interesting by teh minute. I've been away for awhile, so let me throw my two cents in on a couple of points. 1. I have absolutely no problem with Bonehead's suggestion of not allowing any transfer to participate in varsity sports for a year. The o...

The three BSM kids families DID move to St Louis Park, adhering to the transfter rule. Private schools give need-based and merit scholarships. That is why they have a wide range of socio-economic classes representing their schools. If a hockey player or a basketball or football player happens to re...

Hi HSHW! Rather than try to make sense of that quote mess I'll just start up again. 1. People move all the time and if they have kids a large part of their decision process is the school district. And if they're interested in participating in sports they can. Just not right away at the varsity leve...

So the assumption is that Novak will go to Michigan? Why not follow Besse footsteps and stay? Well, he accepted the invitation to evaluation camp, and it seems at least possible that a)he'd be offered a spot and b) he'd accept it and go. Which is kind of a shame, speaking selfishly. It would have b...

HSHW is a silver tongued devil! :wink: For outstate programs loyalty to community is pretty much all you've got. To compete with the metro areas I think a couple of MSHSL changes might help: 1) Make the transfer rule 1 year varsity ineligibility for ALL transfers. No residence change exceptions, pu...

Good get by the Gophers, he'll look good in maroon and gold.

OMG!!! It's me and thestickler -agreeing? Slap me!

Congrats to Tommy AND the Gophs!

Should the public schools be trying to attract the same students? There is this community "attitude" that is supposed to go one way, where the families are loyal to the community, but not the other way around. No, I don't know the answer to that one. The gains from doing the same things p...

What are these advantages you speak of? People throw around the term "advantages" often but don't actually specify what it means. Not in every situation, but in general, I see the private schools having inherent disadvantages and the results being what we call an advantage. Think of whate...

Metro private schools have won 12 of the last 15 Class A titles. Can you honestly say that being located in the Twin Cities isn't a huge advantage? How is it that a team can pull top players from several AA sized areas and then call themselves a legitmate A team? How is this not hiding behind the e...

The last I checked Hibbing's population is greater than Hermantowns. How did Hermantown rise to the level of STA for 4 straight years and almost beat them? So if Hermantown can do it, can't Hibbing? What advantage does Hermantown have over Hibbing? Oh yea, they can attract players from the greater ...

First you didn't answer my question then....why was the AA tournament not filled with mostly metro private schools? Only one out of eight. Kids are much more competative in all sports these days, at all schools, big, small, public and private. I don't wonder how these tiny private schools are any m...

I can't leave Edina out of it because they beat HM (who wants to succeed). Holy Family, Benilde, Holy Angeles, and Cretin ALL got beat and didn't even make it to State. Not every hockey player that chooses to attend a private school is some phenom talented player. I am not going to agree that priva...

Touche! Now if you'll just agree that a private that wants to succeed has an unfair advantage over a public (let's leave Edina out of this!)

But little Johnny wants a trophy!

Pony up the 18K and enjoy the case at STA!
