[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Georgetown Prep football returning to IAC.  http://www.gazette.net/article/20131115/NEWS/131119412/1007/news&source=RSS&template=gazette[/quote]

Amazing.

Prep is back in for football because Bullis, who led the charge to throw Prep out for football, has rediscovered sports as a way to boost school spirit and build enrollment. They were aided by the decline of GP strength which is due largely to their recent financial problems affecting the amount of aid they can offer. A football team consisting largely of kids paying full price is going to be less competitive.

Landon never wanted Prep out and pursued them doggedly to schedule games because playing Prep has been the whole point of their athletic program.

The IAC's problem is that it has no rules. So when one school or one coach decides he is going to break out of the pack like Episcopal basketball with Freddie Brown, Prep basketball with Duane Bryant or Prep football when they brought in Marcus Mason, the others are left in the dust. Bullis appears to be the next candidate.

The IAC schools would do well to watch Landon and what they do to try and regain their position as the lacrosse power. Losing doesn't go down well on Wilson Lane.
