Ugh, this is terrible however the article is written by good old Asra Nomani. No wonder it was posted here and we’re being kept up to date.

I don't read things by MAGA or give it any value. I also don't care about a random HS and football. I do care about FCPS grading policies.

Like many on DCUM, you don't remotely understand athletics. As one who participated at the highest level, yet at the same time did exceedingly well in higher education, I am perplexed why you are missing the fundamental point here. Let's put high school football in perspective. There is no way a public high school should be establishing a program to attract out of county students through the misuse of a social program. You may care only about grading policies, but the corrupting influence of establishing a football team with a high school attached to it - along with a culture which coddles the kids - especially in an environment where black males don't perform well scholastically - should concern you. And the reporter is irrelevant. There are enough facts to demonstrate that there are real problems with what Hayfield is doing. The description of the coach is interesting. He obtains only marginal employment at the school - like a security job but without school resource officer responsibilities - he simply is a paid professional coach. And an interesting formula, too. Under the guise of King Football, he teams are not large in numbers (in my day high school football teams became good recruiting large numbers of 9th graders and developing them). This is so because he recruits. The teams are disciplined and tough - a good thing in one way but in another reflective of a coach selling a D1 scholarship dream (which is a dead end for some kids). How anyone thinks this does not impact the academic integrity of the school is beyond me - and only caring about grading policies encourages the rot.

My kids do not go to this HS and I'd bet most people on here don't have kids at this HS. This is a non-story to me. FCPS has bigger fish to fry and I think at least one author is disingenuous at best so don't care what she has to say about anything. But if people want to moan and groan about a sport at a HS their kids don't even go to, feel free. I read this thread to understand but once I saw the author I realized this is not worth the time. I'm gone. Have at it!

I don't see any way that this doesn't end with Hayfied staff being led out of the school in handcuffs. If not FCPD, then the FBI. Everything about that article sounds like rip off of the Wire

You, as a Fairfax county taxpayer. are paying to education 30 kids who actually live in Prince William County. You are also paying salaries to all these football coach guys who finagled jobs they aren't qualified for at Hayfield.

You care about grading? Apparently these kids transferred with As in the spring from PWC and then immediately were getting Ds and Fs in their FCPS courses. Draw any conclusion you wish from that.

There is nothing MAGA about the article. What a weird statement.

The author is MAGA. The situation is terrible and needs to be dealt with but the PP is questioning the motives of the author.

That is what happens when the largest local paper decided that the largest local jurisdiction should get no coverage in the metro section

The Post is sadly moving away from a local paper of record model to something akin to the UK Guardian / Guardian Weekly. A global digital audience but not necessarily a local one. (At least the Guardian still prints a paper for global distribution and has a free website.)

Good for them. They better hope Bezos likes funding a loss leader. They're losing local subscriptions and they aren't picking up national subscriptions at a sustainable rate.

You clearly don’t get it. What is to stop another school from doing this? What kind of administration permits this to happen? And it has nothing to with moaning and groaning about a sport. (Like most DCUM types you have never been an athlete and a very top student). It is the principle involved. Athletics are only beneficial to the extent they are placed in perspective. My brother - a multiple All American in college and Phi Beta Kappa - used to tutor a future NFL guy with a 9 ACT score. I felt bad for the kid but he was a product of the corruption that so often comes with football. This isn’t Alabama. Why would FCPS ever support this? Again it isn’t about the sport but the utter corruption of the academic mission.

I hope Boyd is being looked into and that principal....aren't they friends from another school system?

Any updates on this situation with the new out of district football team at Hayfield?

Are the 3 to 4 dozen non Fairfax County players going to be allowed to play this season?
