Why not? [/quote]
There’s several threads here and articles in the post about the baseball coach, his atrocious pay to play scheme, and the resulting loss of an entire group of elite players. That he’s still a part of the athletic department would give me pause even if I didn’t have a ball player. But this recent article about how a female wrestler was treated, and the reasoning for why, would solidify my no.

Sometimes people come on here to bash schools and coaches for no reason. That is not the case with SJC and its baseball and boys’ soccer programs.  This thread and the linked articles were so incredibly upsetting to read: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/828872.page

I can’t believe the athletics Department allows this corruption to continue, and the wrestling article PP posted is eye-opening on that front as well (“alpha males”??). The wrestling coach sounds fantastic though. I wonder if he’ll stick around. [/quote]

+1. Top reason why my high level baseball player didn’t apply to SJC.[/quote]
