[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this going on in the SJC football program too?   Just curious.  Is this the result of Kevin Plank's desire to have a sports powerhouse at SJC?  Wow, this school really has its priorities backwards.  So so so so so glad we decided to send our child elsewhere.[/quote]

Baseball around here is full of rich kids from McLean or Bethesda.  They are prime targets for the pay-to-play gang. Same with lax, and to a lesser degree soccer. Football is a very different demographic, as is basketball. There the sleazy coaches make money being gatekeepers to scouts and schools and shoe companies.   [/quote]

None of that should affect your high school. High school is for education and playing on the school team.[b] All the travel team and pay to be play and seen stuff should be completely unrelated to your high school experience.[/b][/quote]

I agree with that.  The coaches that have burrowed in like ticks to places like SJC to suck cash out of parents are taking a different approach.  To use a popular term, they have created a quid pro quo - "want to play HS ball?  Pay me on the side."[/quote]
