Bullis Lacrosse Situation

[Anonymous]

The DCE dad who caused all this is a jerk.

Noticed that DC Express tryouts not announced yet which is weird. Maybe no access to Bullis fields anymore?

why do you care if the kid wants to go back home for his senior year. It's so bizarre. It's not a conspiracy. He wanted to play with his friends against better competition, now he is going home to be with his family.

Becasue it's a high school and not a club lacrosse team. I am sure when JB sold the admin on giving this kid financial aid it was because their was a promise of 2 years and future benefit. Bullis got their tourney title but will get nothing else except a divided community based on sports. Same goes for their football and basketball teams giving African-Americans (not PG Kids which is just a thinly veiled reference) scholarships to play football and basketball. If a school can't field a competitive team without giving scholarships, and this goes for Landon too, they shouldn't have a team. Doing this in the name of diversity lowers the purpose of the diversity program. Let's see these schools be transparent in who they are giving aid and towards what purpose and it will be ugly.

Transparent. Dude! It is none of your business.

It's high school. Who cares if a kid comes for a year for sports or because his parent is in the military or a diplomat.. who cares. OMG! He won't be at prom, tragic.

Not every kid goes to a HIGH SCHOOL with the intention of visiting it for the rest of their life, actually the idea that so many in this area do is what is so bizarre.

For many education is a transaction, I pay you tuition, I get an education... I get your school name mentioned in a game watched by every college scout in the nation, I get an education.

Stop acting like a rube.

One of the main sources of teen depression and burnout is when their parents treat school like a transaction for sports...very unhealthy. We are not talking about the military family who gets transferred. We are talking about the Dads who obsess over junior's playing time and are willing to transfer multiple times (or limit opportunities in other areas of school life) in hopes of boosting exposure. They tie their self worth to junior's accomplishments, or not, on the field. Very sad and short sighted.

Except none of that happened, this was so friends could play together. No dads just teenage boys.

It's my business if I'm paying the outrageous tuitions being used to fund these scholarships.

The success these schools have had at setting up their communities have led to programs like the STEM Center at Bullis and many others.

If education is a transaction, then go get your GRE and move on. These schools are trying and having success at building more than a transaction.

Go stick your head back in the sand and let the adults have a real anonymous discussion.

OMG! I pay your tuition. Do you also tell cops you pay their salary?

Do you even hear yourself?

Yea, they paid for advertising and they got it. Your welcome.

Umm, so if I pay a lot of money for something and am expected to be involved then I'm not allowed to say anything? And if I paid for terrible advertising then I'm not allowed to change the message?

Time to let this thread die folks.

JB has been reinstated as the head coach.

Their best player, Connor S, is going back home to STAB for his senior year and the Ohio State football commit, Bryson, has announced he is running track & field in the Spring.

Time to move on

[Anonymous]

Agreed. Will you post the reinstatement announcement?

Please stop naming people’s children. It’s just inappropriate.

That inappropriate line of naming people's children has been way crossed over when the "children" are holding semi press conferences and announcing they are attending university programs, leaving high school programs or changing commitments in a very public media.

The only thing documented is that the best player is going back to Charlottesville. Still haven’t seen an email re reinstatement of the coach.

[Anonymous]

Agree. Bizarre exchange of events by the Bullis administestion.

I feel for the kids in their program, they deserve better.

[Anonymous]

Wow still nothing.

[Anonymous]

It is Bullis is negotiating how to get rid of DCE from their campus forever. Good luck finding a new home, DCE.

[Anonymous]

Wow. What a reversal of fortune, if this is true.

[Anonymous]

DCE dug it’s own grave

[Anonymous]

Didn't Bethesda Lacrosse and DCE pay Bullis a couple hundred thousand dollars in pre-paid rent to help finance their turf field?
