[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, the sour grapes about Bullis is astounding.

FYI, when Bullis "led the movement to kick out Prep last time", it's headmaster was Tom Farquar, who ended up getting booted soon thereafter and moving to Sidwell because, at least in part, he seemed indifferent to the value of sports. [/quote]

Is there more than one fable about "Sour Grapes". Because the one I know and its moral wouldn't be appropriate in this context. As I recall, the fox after trying to get the grapes and failing says, "They were probably sour anyway". Relating this to a situation in which one school appears to be operating in an unprecedented manner is quite a stretch.

Although the old headmaster may be gone, not everyone who was at the school when Bullis led the charge gone. Has there been some sort of wave of amnesia that has swept over the campus that resulted in no one remembering anything about the IAC's past?

There was another effort in 2011 to kick Prep football out. It was never brought up for discussion in the meeting of the IAC Presidents. But there was an effort because there had to be a proposal they specifically decided not to discuss and vote on. (See Washington Post report of this via Google)
