I think the problem with both of our arguments are that we agree that the system is fine the way it is. The KHSAA just needs to enforce it's rules.

We agree on that.

We do agree on that I guess. That is strictly my point! Enforce the rules across the board. The KHSAA has proven in the past that they will not. That is sad to me. With both private schools and public schools that cheat and recruit, the playing field is not balanced. I personally believe that private schools have an unfair advantage in athletics because they have to recruit students or go out of business. If they (the few private schools that do not recruit athletes in some form or fashion are from my experience the rare exception) bend the rules and unfairly recruit athletes, then something has to be done. If the KHSAA will not follow up and attempt to enforce anti-recruitment laws, then I don't know of any answer to solve the dilemma except to just let ALL private schools recruit athletes (like mini-universities) and separate them. As far as public schools that cheat and recruit, I say "First offense, stiff penalty. Second offense, ban them from post season play for life". It may sound harsh, but set the example and you may solve the problem.

Lexington Catholic cheated, Lexington Christian cheated. Rose Hill cheated. Punish them. Go ahead, hey, last year Highlands cheated, and before that it was who? Harrodsburg who had an illegal player? I forget, why was there not an uproar to throw them out of the KHSAA?

If I had MY WAY, that is exactly what should have happened to them.

My point is it's not just private schools that do this, and you absolutely can not lump all private schools together as cheaters when there are 3-4 bad eggs. There are more public schools out there doing the same thing.

If there are more public schools out there doing the same thing, it is solely because there are more public schools to choose from. I would guarantee you that there is a GREATER PERCENTAGE of private schools that do it than public. However, I'm not knocking you or your school, simply the privates that recruit student athletes.

The class system is the way we seperate schools in every single state in in the union, it's fair and consistent way to do things. And the rules just need to be enforced to make everything fair..

I would agree 100%, but it has yet to happen, and I don't think it ever will.

I still feel this is all a whirlwind coming down on all privates b/c so many people dislike, T, X and LC. You have issues with them fine, have issues with them, but don't alienate the little guys who DO follow the rules b/c your hatred for them.

I have ZERO hatred for any school, especially yours. I know absolutely NOTHING about your school. I am commenting solely on the issue at large. Sorry if I offended you. Not my intention.
