Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIHS can barely fund overachieving academic students with minimal resources, let alone underachieving students for a sport. The dollars just aren't there, you're naive to believe they are.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Post^^this. Well funded schools can throw money at athletes. But most parochial schools are not in that position and are not giving dollars to athletes just to get them to attend a school. You may *think* this is going on, but it really isn't. If there is money to spend, it is going to needs-based students almost exclusively.
If you're in a good school district and already paying taxes, sending a kid to IHS for sports is crazy. Use some of the tuition saved for good club soccer and put the rest away for college.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postand even for needs based the funds are limited. The income caps that parochials have are very low, like $45K for a family of 4 for a school like IHS. Enrollment at Catholic based schools of all ages is dropping and some schools aren't going to make it. Lowering tution bills for sports isn't happening. Sweet talking used car salesmanship may be happening to talk players into moving, but not with $.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postthe going tuition over there is almost $14k! Combine that with a kid thats playing with a decent club, you're almost at $20k a year, for a sport? yea, no one is going to IHS for soccer or any other sport for that matter. losers will always find excuses and ways to bring down the winners.

Are you so naïve to actually believe there is no incentive provided for athletes to go to these schools?
Even if, as you believe, catholic schools don't recruit, the fact that they are not limited by town borders and can take kids from anywhere is a huge advantage. So much so, even the CIAC recognized something had to be done.

and if you think the CIAC has a handle on anything, you're just out of touch. the good ole boys club has the influence. but yea, if you want to blame "recruiting" to a mediocre private school as the reason they have found some success in the past and you haven't. you keep on doing you. be bitter. I'm sure you'll get the chance to live out your dreams through your next child going to high school.

You know IHS sits geographically between DANBURY and Ridgefield. Probably less the 5 miles between all 3.
I’m sure IHS could petition to join the Fciac. I mean Trinity and STJ play in the fciac.
That would put the Mustangs back on the donkey they rode into this post. They wouldn’t make the fciac tourney on a regular basis if ever. And they’d be so beat up come states, they’d struggle to survive S let alone M.
