"The private schools have an advantage, its unfair" is such bullshite. It's a few schools. The rest of the private schools are getting their shite pushed in just as much, if not more because it's harder to get low income athletes to go to a school with a tuition. Now the private school championship will be a joke with a few teams just destroying everyone year in and out.

This.

There are a couple private schools who don't exactly play by the rules that everyone else does, and now every private school is paying for it.

What schools does everyone assume "recruits" players? I'm thinking Curtis, Evangel, and maybe Parkview.

My alma mater Notre Dame without a doubt does not recruit. I think only one kid in the previous 4 years got a scholly to play college ball.

They have more schools statewide than those 3 that recruit. In defense of Parkview every stud "recruited" athlete is expected to pay full tuition with no work study/tuition assistance. Some schools that recruit are in metro areas where public school talent is readily available. Many of these inner city public school kids come from tough socio-economic backgrounds and the high schools they would attend aren't the best. I know this has been happening in Baton Rouge recently and Parkview isn't the one bringing this talent in.
