Recruiting In Private Schools

The second topic up for discussion is Recruiting in Private Schools. How do you feel about it? Are you all for it? All you all against it? Please share what your personal feelings on the topic.


Now for my opinion on the matter

I personally feel that recruiting is a very realistic approach to life afterwards for those who are gifted in the areas that are people are usualy being recruited for. By this I mean, if someone is really good at football they will most likely get recruited for colllege as well. Some people say its unfair for private schools to wave tuition if a kid is being recruited for football but why? In college it happens all the time. There doesnt appear to be anything inherantly wrong with the situation.

Now as far as private schools being so much better in highschol sports I agree. Thats why I applaud IHSA decision to have a 1.5 X multiplier to any private school. However I dont think it should be a flat multiplier. I think it should be a formula, one also based on geography and the distance that the students who are being recruited are coming from. How many school districts that child has to go through to get to that public school. I think this would help make it more fair.
