<p>I understand this arguement so well because of my school. We can hire another football coach every year… I mean the ratio of staff(trainers, agility staff, QB coach, D coach, OL/DL Coach, DB Coach ect.) to players is almost 1:3. I mean really OVERKILL. The ratio of teachers to students? 1:20</p>
<p>The team went undefeated last year and went to state the year before, and my school recieved over 2 million dollars from the parents of seniors and alumni and the like(from those 2 years). My schools goes out of its way to find kids in the public schools that are so-so academically that would take a free ride to a private high school. They kids that they accept get Cs, and are normally juniors that are taking freshman classes. The school may give them “Equivalent” credits. Meaning the school gets them a tutor that won’t get through to them and give them an “A Equivalent”. GPA inflation at its finest.</p>
<p>How many plays or musicals draw in that type of donor cash?</p>
<p>Think about this also:
College players are walking around with below average grades and probably given alot of leash in the classroom… PLUS THEY GO THERE FOR FREE! Most people would walk around with a huge(some of it deserved tho) sense of accomplishment! You got into a school by spending hours outside having fun!! All those other kids had to spend 30 hours a week at SAT prep!!</p>
