Adam Kurkjian Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 For anyone interested, I'm putting together a website on Massachusetts HS and college football that launches tomorrow. It will be called MassVarsity and run on the address massvarsity.com. If you like any of the stuff that I put in the Massachusetts thread, that's basically where it's all going to go. There will be stuff on UMass, BC, Harvard, Holy Cross and some of the smaller colleges, and obviously high schools, too. The first day, I'm releasing a story about all the transfers that are happening around the state, and I'm also starting a countdown for the top 40 teams in the MIAA that will end on the first day of games. There will be a lot more in the coming weeks and months, but keep an eye out. The catch is that a lot of the stuff will be paywall, so there will be some free content, but the kid has to make a little $, so there's that. Anyway, thanks for reading, and keep a look out. ✌️ 1 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AztecPadre Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 I just don't see transfers as a "problem". Its the freedom to choose where you want your child to play and go to school. If a parent wants their kid at another school, then that should be nobody's business but the family. IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All except for the tax issues for public schools. Where people in a designated area pay taxes that support their board. A lot of people bitch about having to pay school taxes already, because, perhaps they have no kids in school themselves. Wait until you tell them that they will be paying for kids that's family doesn't even pay taxes in that area at all. It'll be a problem then. I assure you that.

Oh I know. I also know and understand how educating kids makes it safer and better for everyone. I'm not talking about me and/or ordinarily reasonable people bro. I hear it a good bit as it is, of people fussing that they shouldn't have to pay for kids even in the district. You start letting them come in from outside... These are rednecks with guns and anti-tax and anti-government mentalities already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Anyway, we are blowing up Adam's thread with nonsense. Congrats on your move Adam! I hope it's everything you want and hope for it to be. I will definitely check it out. May even drop a little coin with you depending on how much and whatever.

Probably 30% of school pays full tuition if Your a Student athlete.. and ur grades are good then your gonna get a Acamdemic scholarship plus financial aid plus all the scholarships and grants they offer ,,, instead of paying 18,000$ to attend it would be like $7500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the transfers, on an individual level, there's nothing wrong with it. However, the phenomenon has become so much more widespread that it has caused a stir with basically every coach I've spoken to this offseason. There's almost no rhyme or reason to it, and it isn't as simple as "getting noticed" or playing for a better team. The article is more of an examination of why it is happening here, rather than passing a judgment of whether or not it is good or bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
