Know several area high schools and colleges that would argue successfully against this point.[/quote]

Let me guess. SJC - they are almost completely dependent on the generosity of Plank. He rebuilt the school and placed his old employees at the school. They are still a comparatively lower academic school without a real endowment. They might've closed without him. 
DeMatha - they've been following this model for 50 years. No one confuses them with a top academic school. It also took them 45 years to build a gym.
Sidwell Friends and a number of other similar schools have chosen to bring in basketball players to entertain the students. 
Paul VI - on serious athletic decline from the campus move. 
Gonzaga - great school but supported by 1100 students. It took them forever to raise enough money to rehab.
Montrose Christian, Flint Hill, or anywhere else Stu Vetter coached failed.

Colleges - apples and oranges.

There so much incorrect with this post, it’s hard to even know where to begin.

The SJC recovery was well underway before Plank started helping. It started with the admission of girls. The new buildings and fields bear the names of other donors. It’s ridiculous to say that SJC would be closed without Plank’s contributions.

Isn’t PVI currently #1 in boy’s basketball? I don’t remember anything like that when the school was in Fairfax.

Crazy stuff.

PVI had a nice bump in football since their move too-[/quote]
