Florida Senate panel approves school, sports choice bill

[bdm13]

Agreed. This just sounds like a bad idea. On the recruiting front for Miami, I could see this making it harder for us keep any local studs that aren't high profile to ourselves. Most of the best players will be more easily identified by the out of state schools and recruiting services because they'll coalesce to the top programs.

Now high schools will need recruiting coordinators on staff...this will be a mess

The liberal facists will hate this.

You can't give people choices. How dare you.

Very good. You got the facists on the left where they really are. Most people wrongly refer to them as right-wing, but that is old commie propaganda.

What the **** is it with all the political bull**** filling the forums lately?

If you wanna discuss it, go to the WEZ. This is a football board.

There's definitely a recruiting angle to this story.

Teams like Lakeland, Plant, Seffner Armwood, and Miami Central will now do what they always did, but without getting penalized. In Dade, I'd expect southridge to become the Miami Central of the south.

The remaining limits that were holding some of these schools back are now gone. It's now a legit wild west of hs football.

Central didn't always do it.

I went to Central late 80s early 90s, we were a perrenial doormat compared to what they are now...the studs were going to MNW at the time. Don't know what the school boundaries are now, but when I was in school, which ever side of I-95 you lived on, pretty much determined where you went to school.

I lived in North Miami, and when it came time for me to go to HS, you'd think I was going to NMSH right?...NOPE! The registrar told me that since I lived on the west side of I-95, you're zoned for Central.

Without Al to fight over, no Donna to trash, and waiting on field results from Mark and new staff, it is a little boring. Speculating about teenage brains and the value of certain recruits gets old sometimes too. Besides this is more a history thing than politics. We were not discussing the merits of fascists, just their proper placement.

You're from NY, right. Didn't Donald poke his nose into Cane football about a coaching hire? Does that open the door to talk to you about him? Now that is trip worthy topic. We could start with, "any way to get Trump to pay for stadium IF we name it Trump Orange Bowl" or maybe "OB the The Donald built"? What to you think?

As well, the entire subject of the thread is a piece of legislation. How can political observations not be part of the discussion?


My take: For years now Ive been saying that we will see the rise of regional and national level sports power programs in high schools. Here in the Bay Area we saw it evolve 20 years ago when De La Salle essentially out-grew the rest of the state in HS football. This is an obvious move to me.

Its not an accident that Nike, Under Armour, et al have been making this market with off season stuff (camps, 7 on 7 leagues, etc.) ESPN is also on this with their broadcasting of nationally ranked HS games. I think the IMG Academy concept will become more the norm throughout the US. And quite frankly, why not? Because academics will suffer?? When in the world have politicians given a single **** about that?

In the end its all about corporate monies that will flow back into the state coffers, which is exactly what will happen here. You'll start to see private high school "academies" that are sponsored by various corporations, just like we've seen dominate college athletics over the past 15+ years...but hey, at least we'll get a whole new level of HS sports play to watch on TV.

Donald thought we should hire Leach.

We need more clarification than this bill. Dont see how this really changes a whole lot besides a kid not having to fake an address or have to say I didnt come here for sports

My question is I imagine the act of recruiting is still illegal even though its almost impossible to prove. And is the you cant follow your coach rule still in effect?

 

[Insanecane]

The school has to have room, and living in the area gives you priority.

My issue is dumb ghetto blacks invading a good school like Winter Park or Dr. Phillips and mucking it up like they did Oakridge or Apopka.

Florida Senate panel approves school, sports choice bill - Orlando Sentinel


A Florida Senate education panel approved a bill today that would give parents the opportunity to pick any school in the state for their child, whether for academic or athletic reasons.

The bill aims to let parents enroll their child in any public school that has room, even if it is outside their attendance zone or outside their home county.

This is aimed to balance the playing field against private schools mainly, but also those public schools that recruit as well. Make it legal and there's a better chance to level the competition.
