Public schools can't pick and choose who participates and they actively recruit the hallways for more kids to try out and suit up for development. We've had this debate so many times that it's ridiculous to carry on about it again. We can get Rab to go bump 4 year old topics with all the same words as we're about to type again. Private schools can poach players from anywhere and build a team based on small participation numbers. Not all do, but, they all can. They can offer free tuition and etc., which affords them the leeway to leave kids behind in travel games. Colquitt even leaves some of the roster behind until the day of the games. There is a hotel roster and the rest of the team. On game day, they'll all be on the sideline though. No amount of foot stomping, bitching, lying and putting words in someone else's mouth will likely ever change that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milton has exemplified this mantra by scheduling games in CA, DC and PA the last three seasons. @Coach Clack is definitely a diamond in the rough! He gets IT. He's basically an exception to the norm as far as public schools go. They'll eventually realize the fiscal losses aren't worth it as an administration and it won't much matter what the coach wants or not.

They actually turn profits on those trips! Their formula is working perfectly. Playing the best OOS competition attracts the best players, which gets you to the top of the local/national polls.

I'd have to see it to believe it. I do realize it helps to be in the land of castles and mansions when it comes to fundraising also. When one or more of the dads are multimillionaire hedge fund execs and etc., getting a trip for little Johnny and teammates paid for is probably a lot easier. Maybe one day they'll be a perennial top team in the country like you so badly want. I doubt it, but, maybe. Dreams are worth having.

Going 10-2 and beating a couple duds looks way better than 8-4 with 2 losses to power OOS teams. It why International School of Broward practically funded half the athletic departments in SoGA. Nevermind the games were horrible for the fans. Most left at halftime and the concession suffered. But hey they got the WEEEEEEENNNNNNN!!!!!!!

The will to part with it for little Johnny to experience an oos trip to play or ride the pine vs some other power house school is more when the disposable income is greater. No doubt about that.

Without getting too political, between racial splits and income disparities all mixed into these large publics down here, the will for the people that do have money to fund stuff that will benefit folks that are below them socially just isn't there in the amounts it would take. These folks feel like they're already paying taxes and funding td clubs so why should they part with more for "frivolous" trips? It's just a tough sell down here is all. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, the majority of the GA programs will choose to host, not travel. As you're well aware, in order to travel significantly, rosters must be limited, and none of the "fluff" can particpate (band, flag girls, etc.) when traveling via air. Now that I'm aware of the fundraising liabilities throughout SoGa, I won't use that objection anymore when posting on this topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Top 4 teams always finish in the T100 because of their OOS schedules and associated victories. Our publics refuse to play us; just like the GHSA won't let its members play IMG. We all acknowledge that we need OOS games more than most states. Hence, the passion of our posters on the topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
