If I am understanding the rule correctly, we would just have to get the kids from our combine addresses within the Massillon school district to avoid having them count as multipliers.Crimson streak;1411871 wrote:So Massillon would be super d-1 then

If that is true, it illustrates the difference between a program like Iggy and our Massillon Tigers. We would never have a kid live in an apartment. We make sure that everyone we bring in has a house.skank;1411914 wrote:I like the idea....Rally I do....Tactic like this have worked for parochials for years, why not try it now?

That proposal is very similar to what I've been saying on here all along. The only thing the article doesn't address, what defines a private school's boundary? Is it defined by the public district that the school sits in? Is it defined by the areas of the feeder schools?

There's actually an exception for teams showing no success in a sport.Crimson streak;1411871 wrote:So Massillon would be super d-1 then
I would imagine that they would do it in the spring for football, like they do now. Take all of the boys and just apply multiplier to those outside of the district.Sonofanump;1412305 wrote:So teams will not know what division that they are in until two to three weeks into the season since the schools will need to submit rosters of the players and no need to do that until cuts (esp basketball & base/softball) are made.
That's why I've always maintained that in the smaller divisions this isn't a private/public debate, it's more of a urban/rural debate. But punishing a team just because they come from an area of the state that is populated doesn't make sense...especially since the schools from those more populated areas also have to compete with around 20 other schools for students while the kids in the rural areas go to the only school in the area.Classyposter58;1412200 wrote:Great idea! Talk about a fix, however how do you define districts? Youngstown Cardinal Mooney still is Youngstown, thus won't be punished for kids from the city? The problem isn't private schools in D1, it's the smaller ones where they absolutely dominate. I mean seeing my high school in 2008 go to the D4 Final Four and play Kettering Alter, who had 120 kids on their football team is unreal. They're supposed to be in D4? Heck Chris Borland the following season was B1G Frosh of the Year
Like with a time machine they will find out the rosters in the last week of August, then go back in time and set the divisions in May?Al Bundy;1412352 wrote:I would imagine that they would do it in the spring for football, like they do now.

Are there schools that cut kids? I'm being serious. I've never known of a high school to cut kids from their football team. But maybe that's just the schools around Youngstown.Sonofanump;1412366 wrote:Like with a time machine they will find out the rosters in the last week of August, then go back in time and set the divisions in May?
The specified date doesn't have to be that late. They can require that rosters be submitted whenever they want.Sonofanump;1412366 wrote:Like with a time machine they will find out the rosters in the last week of August, then go back in time and set the divisions in May?

You tell him skank. We were very close to being winners a few times.

That would hurt us at Massillon. We make the final four often, we just can't win any big games.ernest_t_bass;1412440 wrote:I like Indiana's rule. I don't know it exactly, but it's something along the line of, "You make it to state tourney (final 4) 2 straight years, you move up a division for 2 straight years." Or something like that.

As I said before, we'll see now where these kids come from.

What I like about this proposal is that we will finally see, in print, the kinds of numbers the parochials are dealing with. Unless of course they expand their practices of renting apartments near their High Schools.
Even if no cuts are made in football, how do they know how many kids will be on the team for the year and what kids will open-enroll for the school district.sherm03;1412369 wrote:Are there schools that cut kids?
