Guys guys guys....catholic schools have no advantage. It's completely normal for B and C students to receive scholarships from a school 30-60 minutes away so they can go there and take full advantage of an amazing educational experience.

Just imagine for a second if these schools cared primarily about sports...think about the problems that would cause! Especially when it came down to funding those educational scholarships!!!! There would be unimaginable situations where if you say hired one coach over another and upset one of the schools piggy-banks, they could cause real problems by pulling their funding. I'm just glad that schools around here don't do that and have their priorities straight!

Final four update.

Girls A - 1 of 4 private
AA - All 4
AAA - 2 of 4
AAAA - 0

Boys A - 1 private, 1 charter
AA - 1 of 4
AAA - 3 private, 1 charter
AAAA - 1 of 4.

Total that's 7 of 16 girls, 8 of 16 boys; 3 of 8 A, 5 of 8 in AA, 6 of 8 in AAA, and 1 of 8 in AAAA.

Anybody care to figure out how many private schools are in the PIAA? Guarantee its nowhere near what they're batting now.

Charter schools shouldn't even have sports...public schools are paying for these teams they are losing to. I thought it was about academic choice...

[JustWrestle]

Yea, I don't understand why public schools have to pay for charter schools or even more importantly online schools. The public school provides an education up to the standard of the state so why should the school have to pay for someone to go elsewhere?

When does free agency start? These schools have some quick rebuilding to do. Vincentian will have some size 12 shoes to fill.

There is talk that the governor might change the funding. Right now public schools pay what it would cost for the child to attend the public school to the charter. Talk is that will be cut in half. If that is the case, does that affect these kids transferring out? Or at least slow it down? Thoughts?

It shouldn't make a difference to those who are truly going for the academic experience. At the same time of they keep playing in their home team, you would have to be careful that charter schools don't become a place to send the star player who's dumb as a brick and wouldn't pass his classes in order to keep him eligible. But bottom line, schools have a hard enough time funding their own program, they shouldn't also be subsidizing another.
