- Thread starter SPbObRT
- Start date
this thread was started to congratulate the Knights for winning the championship and somehow some idiot chimes in on recruiting, that wasn't the subject, the subject was to honor a great team for winning, get over yourselves people with all the recruiting and such, the fact of the matter is this, they were the best team in that class PERIOD, end of story.
Agree and the recruiting thing, who doesnt try it come on be real, some schools are just near larger populations and some are in the sticks
And I think you are completely wrong. No offense, but being awful is no excuse to move down. Why not let a sub .500 wrestler pick his own weight class? If you aren't good, try to get better. If you can't, and cannot live with losing, drop the sport. Pretty simple. We have too big of schools playing 8 man looking for easier targets...er, for "safety reasons", and then this chain reaction drags other schools down, until you are looking at numbers like 140 kids 9-11 being in C2.
Wait? Only kids with good behavior are good at athletics? Special needs kids can't be talented wrestlers? Low income kids can't be good at BB? Huh. So this multiplier that has to do with classroom services affects sports how, exactly?
You have never been in a public school just stop, Public schools have special needs kids that will never be talented at a sport, never come one get real
Did you not read 999's post? Or choose to continue to live in your fake news, fantasy world? I'm sorry, but if I was that angry, and someone presented me evidence to the contrary, I'd reevalute my assumptions.
And what about all the ones that ARE? What percent of D1 athletes do you think, if you stop to do so, fit into one of your categories?
Here I thought we were going to let this thread be done... All we know how to talk about on huskerland is private schools, schools opting down, and too many teams in the playoffs...
I am not even close to saying you need a multiplier for low income or ESL kids, I do not think you need a success multiplier, Only two factors in my opinion can you make a case for a multiplier and that is SPED and population density. I often wondered what class schools would fall into if they used a system much like legion baseball, based on populations of the kids on the team, this would also effect Public schools and maybe a very fair system
which is completely okay and like I said the only system I can see that would be fair to all is a population system like legion baseball, or a multiplier that only takes into account Sped, but any other in my opinion is unfair to the private schools, and thats not the way to be successful to punish those who are.
This debate has went on forever and usually ends when I bring up the population system like legion baseball, both sides get quite because it is probably the fairest of any change
No way. Kautz was here way before his freshman year. I thought it was 5th or 6th grade.
who cares when he got there, he is in the system and has been for quite some time, i know for a fact he was there in 7th and 8th grade.
I'm not sure what all sports my own philosophy would apply to. Football seems to be a beast of it's own, so maybe I'll just stick with my own ideas on moving down a class in that sport. I respect your philosophy. In theory, it's tough to argue with. However, seeing that there are some communities or cultures that really aren't that interested in football, and seeing their teams get beaten by 80 points, maybe you'd have to experience it before you believe it.
Incorrect, I have a kid the same age as him, & watched him destroy kids at JH track meets.
I know it can totally suck. But I honestly don't think the answer is to find smaller, and smaller schools until we find someone who we can beat by 80. Or go 0-9. Or whatever. You either get better, or if you simply can't, or won't you'd better find some educational value and character building in struggling and sacrificing without instant benefits, or you don't offer the sport. Period. To me it's that simple. We've ALREADY sorted schools by size. Allowing schools to "class shop" until they can find someone THEY can bully strikes me as the most patently unfair thing we do. Again, I point to the wrestling analogy. I get what you're saying. It's no fun to lose. But, for my part, I'd rather lose honestly than be a bully. This will tick people off, no doubt, but Harvard had ZERO business as a nearly C2 school playing 6 man football. I'd have been too embarrassed to celebrate any "achievements" if that was my team.

I agree 100% what a joke
I agree 100% what a joke
I can't argue that some schools take advantage of the situation. And there lies the greatest problem if you ask me. Did Riverside opt to play down? What were their player #'s like the last few years?
Same argument every year because nothing ever changes. It is what it is. I for one won’t attack sucessfull programs. Some jobs are better than others. It comes down to Or at least starts with what a community/school district wants to put emphasis on and support.
