Here's the deal.
There probably is some recruiting going on in some private schools. There's just as much, and I guarantee there's more, in public schools.
But the real problem is there are idiots out there who literally think private schools don't take certain kids because they 1) Can't play sports or 2) want to keep their enrollment down to stay down a class.
This is simply absurd.
Private schools need students to survive and the tuition and support that comes with them. If that makes so much sense, why is Norfolk catholic at the bottom of C1? They've kicked butt in C1...why wouldn't they try to keep their enrollment up as close to the border of C1 as possible and then kick people out or not accept accordingly? They make more money and get to stay in C1. It's simply rediculous.
How about this for everyone. Instead of adopting a program that will kill numerous schools and punish kids who have done nothing wrong, which is what this really does, why don't we adopt the multiplier for schools who we can PROVE have manipulated their enrollment or turned kids down to stay in a certain class. Not because they were successful, but because they manipulated their numbers, paid players, turned students away, etc etc. Just because a school is successful it doesn't mean they did any of that. IF it's so common and happens all the time we should be able to prove it, right? So let's just punish those schools who do that and leave the innocent ones alone. That is true FAIRness, if that's what the cry babies say, this is about fairness. Well thats fair..bring evidence and punish the schools that do it and not those that don't. That way kids aren't punished by a bunch of adults who can't handle their kids not getting a trophy.
