[Truth]

I've been reading the tales about Fairview for about 18 months now, and I just don't get why so many have such angst for Fairview. So what if they have players whose original residence was W. VA. ? Are we all so naive to think that Trinity has never had a player from Indiana or Highlands has never had a player from Ohio on its roster?

When you play the game of football and the officials decide not to enforce the rules, you either adjust what you are doing, or you lose. KHSAA has decided that they are unwilling or unable to enforce the rules , and Fairview has adjusted.

Fairview is doing the same things that the tradition powers in the state have been doing for decades. The only difference is that the traditional powers do it more more subtly, and lets face it, have had allies in KHSAA that have allowed them to
I believe some of these traditional powers, particularly in the east, feel threatened by the prospect of the path to easy regional titles being stiffened. Well folks, its now your turn to adapt or die and stop whining about KHSAA not enforcing the rules!

Louisville Trinity and Fort Thomas Highlands really don't have to recruit. They are clearly the top private school and top public school in the Commonwealth. Both, particularly Trinity, have fine athletic programs and both are stellar in academics. Students, particularly gifted athletes, seek out these two schools because of the many substantial benefits accruing to graduates, athletes and academics, of those schools.

In addition, Trinity has no physical boundaries as do public schools. While this is a material advantage, the government schools have a bigger advantage in that they are funded from the public coffers. Trinity must raise its own money.

What about the "attraction" of Fairview? In reality- nothing. Without the super power and super status of Trinity and Highlands, Fairview must offer something to attract students and athletes to Millseat. The question is "What is the inducement?".
