lax culture from an insider

No. Recruiting is happening earlier and earlier, but many kids commit to a college when they are a junicularior or (gasp!) a senior. Playing for a particular private school can help, but generally speaking, if a kid is going to be recruited, it really doesn't matter where he played his spring HS lacrosse.

This sure seems to support the point that most local recruits come from a handful of schools.

Looks like Paul VI has developed a big time LAX culture - http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Sexting-Allegations-Emerge-at-Catholic-High-School-in-Fairfax-203369621.html

Can a fantasy draft be far away?

The problem is that it was an allegation on a gossip site, and nothing has been produced since to indicate that the school did anything wrong. Maybe they did, but we don't know anything right now.

Not at all analogous to the Landon fantasy sex draft. But to be fair to lacrosse, there are tons more incidents of bad behavior to occur in football, basketball, etc.

The Landon fantasy draft was outside of the school, the Paul VI issue supposedly was school related somehow?

The issue was whether the Landon administration dealt with the sex fantasy draft appropriately.

With the SAT cheating scandal, the issue was whether Landon treated athletes and non-athletes fairly and appropriately.

And what was the consensus on how Landon should have dealt with the fantasy draft? I ask because I've heard rumors that there are boys at other schools who have said and written inappropriate things about girls their age.

The boys who brought Landon even more notoriety via the Fantasy League had been big troublemakers for years. They should have been expelled. Even before the Fantasy League trash. But, nothing happened, before or after.

So, troublemakers should be expelled? Or just "big" troublemakers? What does a troublemaker do to warrant expulsion?

Everyone knows that there is just one private school in the area with no troublemakers.

Actually this us quite similar to the Paul VI issue in that it involved disgruntled parents. From the story linked above:

The girl's mother wrote in a letter to superintendent Sr. Bernadette McManigal that she didn't feel her daughter and the boys in the case were treated equally, Jezebel reported.

"Perhaps the biggest problem I have is that there was no compassion shown to my daughter," she allegedly wrote. "...Why weren't the children brought in all together and asked what happened? Why were the boys called to the [athletic director]'s office with their coach while my daughter was in with the Dean of Students?"

The boys were LAX players.

Here's the difference. The Landon sex fantasy league scandal was reported by several reputable news media outlets. This story, which may be 100% true, was on gawker.com, a gossip site.

We don't know what happened yet (or may never).

NBC News covered it as well, but the school isn't talking so maybe we will never know. I don’t recall whether Landon ever went public with the details of the fantasy draft, but they didn’t deny that something inappropriate happened. Is it better for schools to deal with issues like this internally and dispute published reports? Sexting is really dumb, but I’d be shocked if it hasn’t happened at least once at every school.

Yes - we just disagree on WHICH school that is!

This sheds a little light on the Paul VI issue
