Or
If you think it is wrong to have combines, hold your school to same standard of it being wrong.
Absolutely not! But according to your logic you should say no to some kid from let us say ORVILLE who wants to transfer to Massillon so he can make use of the facilities.skank;694755 wrote:So when Nike calls and asks to use our facilities we should just say no?
Al Bundy;694743 wrote:Just like Massillon can call it whatever we want, and we still know their purpose. They are using their great facilities as tool to bring in potential transfers.

As far as athletes getting scholarships to parochial schools I'm sure they do. Just like the kids in Mooney's 14 kid band get a $500.00 scholarship. Just like the kid who transfers to Massillon to play football gets his $5,000.00 dollar scholarship. What is the difference except it's OK for Massillon but not for the parochial school, right?
About as stupid as this sounds... if you transfer to Massillon to use the indoor facility, Paul Brown Stadium, or the baseball field you are ineligible.skank;694778 wrote:Why should we? I've seen people on here make the comment that kids want to go to Mooney or Ursuline or Ignatius to have the opportunity to win a state title, (and one would be silly to think that's not true), Maybe, parochial schools should stop giving financial aid or full fleged scholarships to athletes? If you recieve aid in any way, shape or form, you are forbidden from being an athlete? Hows that sound?
Do these rules also apply to public school students who aren't paying the cost of their education?skank;694778 wrote:Why should we?

So band kids would be forbidden to participate if they receive aid too I assume? How about the drama department? Quiz team?skank;694778 wrote:Why should we?

Parochial schools (at least the ones in SWO) give aid based on entrance exam scores and financial need. There isn't a single athlete down this way on an "athletic scholarship" of any kind.

Ok.

I know because after we've won State Championships there, I went down on the field and celebrated with the rest of the Mooney fans.
Unfortunately for you, I can't say that you've shared the same experience

Are you going to answer the first question, or just blow past it as usual? If you think that financial aid recipients shouldn't participate in athletics, then it stands to reason that they shouldn't be allowed to participate in any extracurriculars. Agree or disagree?
Congratulations to St. Eds! You can put this trophy in the case next to your state championship football trophy.skank;700654 wrote:And I am curious to see what the wonderful Dean Wormer has to say about this.
Lakewood St. Edward just won their 14th wrestling championship in the last 15 yrs., and 26th overall.

Once again the Shuffler has tried to shift the focus away from his beloved public schools. If you would reread my post about Upper Arlington I congratulate the young ladies on their athletic ability and hard work which allowed them to win the championship. No sour grapes or excuses here Shuffler.
