[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a horrible situation for the players and the parents. The football team got in this situation because the school has basically ignored the program for the last five years. We have a new head of school who is taking charge of the situation. He has impressed all of the parents I have talked to with his willingness to meet and talk to parents about football. There is no question that he is committed to the future of football at sidwell which will include internal and external recruiting and potentially pushing the football program in to lower graders. Next year is going to very tough but the year after the football program should be showing signs of real strong improvement[/quote]
Classic Sidwell entitlement at work--the football parents demanding that this sport have a special status.  Parents with kids on cross-country and soccer are pleased with the Athletic Program and will not want the school going crazy to try to win in one particular sport.  Should Sidwell admit much of the starting Bishop O'Connell team as transfers, as Flint Hill did a few years back?  Don't compromise the school's great academic reputation to chase the will of the whisp that is "Football Dominance.". Kudos to the kids at Sidwell who play football--maybe some of the athletes on the basketball team will join them in future years--but these whiny football parents are getting on the rest of our nerves.
