Hardcore Troubador Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 MD/DC Catholics (apart from SJC and SFA) & Ohio schools haven’t scheduled IMG from what I know...I imagine IMG has reached out already. That’s a big pool of schools they haven’t taken advantage of/won’t play them. NJ publics would never play IMG and the Big North catholics now have their schedules filled with each other and the Philly Catholic teams. Where’s Bishop Gorman?!?!

Also, while obviously targeted at IMG, the proposal was to keep GHSA members from playing teams "who could not compete for state championships in their state" or something along those lines. Seeing as how Colquitt was permitted to play Bishop Sullivan (who is not able to play for their state championship) last year, I don't believe it actually passed the voting process to amend the bylaws.

I'd imagine it will stay tabled until another school schedules them or a mass exodus of highly ranked recruits leaves the state causing an uproar among coaches. I don't believe the GHSA turned their eyes on the Bishop Sullivan game, but instead they knew they couldn't prevent the game from taking place as it was within the current guidelines. Instead of going after IMG they should instead focus on the metros teams leaching off of each other's talent to ensure more competition regionally up North.

BUFORDGAWOLVES Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 GHSA tweaked the bylaw, but you think it's tabled? Definitely possible. Second sentence. SOWEGA opinion, I get it... really do. But I say this all the time "you can't legislate parents that want better for their kids, it smacks of socialism". Metro gonna do that, pretty sure it happens all over the U.S., and if publics become more socialist I anticipate private schools rolls to swell... it's happening to a degree in Roswell and in other places. @CCBlackhatter... didn't get your quote in for some odd reason.

Of course img is targeted It's because they are better than these other schools and states don't want to be embarrassed GA best team in 2016 took best shot and couldn't beat them, they don't have faith any GA team would win over img it appears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think any school will tell GHSAA to shove it and play img? It could have similar effect to What state of California is doing and might get GHSAA digging around out of spite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
