I'd rather play the teams listed above than play Bishop McNamara, Ireton, O'Connell, Good Counsel, and Saint Mary's Ryken (the bottom half of the WCAC is just bad lacrosse), Wes knows he doesn't have nearly the same squad as he did last year and it shows in their schedule this Spring. Where is McDonogh or Saint Mary's?

Unfortunately those are league teams. I’d say 3 of the 5 would smoke any IAC team in football and 4 of the 5 in basketball. You got to take the good with the bad. What other sports is the IAC good in? Boys field hockey?

This is hilarious. Do better next time. Which three of those WCAC teams would smoke any IAC team in football? Remember, they often play each other and scores are easily found. Nice try though. It certainly sounded like a great post when you were typing it, I'm sure.

Didn’t even know IAC played FB. Lol Have they ever had a team recognized on the national level? Last time I remember seeing any WCAC team playing them was a few years back. Gonzaga destroyed Prep that year. Probably why the WCAC teams don’t waste their time. Little sisters of the poor.

Look, I was responding to a PP who claimed BI, Oconnell, St. Mary's Ryken, McNamara and one other bottom feeder WCAC school would smoke the IAC in football and basketball. The stats don't back that up. Nobody was trying to put the IAC on the same pedestal as the WCAC football powerhouses that have more than 2x the number of boys in the high school. Some IAC schools have less than 300 boys. They still do pretty well against the WCAC second tier. Relax, Gonzaga dad. Relax.

Alrighty mouthy IAC dad. Prove it.

Go look at the scores from last year. And the year(s) before. Surely you can use the internet. Don't be dense.

The days of trying to compare conferences ended years ago. The WCAC allows for athletic scholarships which are not need based and the IAC doesn't (largely upheld now that Bullis has a new president). SJC lacrosse has jumped on that over the last 3 years and created a competition gap. The IAC has stopped scheduling them in general bc of the imbalance and the aggressive nature of their recruiting current students. The WCAC is a National sports conference with compensated athletes and the IAC isn’t. It’s not going to get any better.

WCAC schools do NOT and CANNOT offer athletics scholarships only need-based or academic. That's not saying that they may be able to fit the athletes they recruit into one of those categories but there are requirements such as financials as well as required grades to maintain those scholarships.

Semantics

so do the IAC schools not offer the same type of either need-based and or academic scholarships to there student-athletes when recruiting?

[Anonymous]

No Merit aid or scholarships in the IAC. Financial aid is based on documentation submitted by families to the school.

The same applies to the WCAC you can get needs-based money which is solely based on financial situations and there must be documentation or academic based which is based on actual grades it all has to be accompanied by documentation and if the grades are no good they get no academic money plain and simple...

I guess some are just bitter that the IAC can't keep up with the WCAC and have to look for excuses

I'm not a rocket scientist - BUT average cost of WCAC $30k... average cost of IAC $50k

The WCAC absolutely offers athletic scholarships and the manual has been posted on this site before. They don’t hide it.

Not for lacrosse. It generates $0 revenue.

SJC lax has been actively giving athletic scholarships for 4 years. The Hawks parents brag about it. Mitchell took a NL player from Bullis to DeMatha mid-semester on full scholarship. The family and the kid brags about it.

You’re missing the point. Those families also qualify based on family income.

That is true. Coach Mitchell wants to win. At all costs.
