[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St. Johns wants to be IMG. Problem is IMG is not a catholic school. It’s an unapologetic sports factory. You can’t maintain your catholic identity and be what they’re trying to be. Soccer and baseball are two examples of where they’re not treating their student athletes in a very Christian manner. The AD can be forgiven because he’s really an Under Armour guy. But the administration and Board of Trustees have no excuse. They’re selling the school’s soul.[/quote]
I disagree.  If St. John’s wanted to be IMG, they’d have a better coach.  They lost that game today behind poor coaching.  They have the talent, just poor management.[/quote]

Maybe but it looks like SJC bit off more than it can chew this season.  3 losses in a row and likely will lose to # 1 ranked Mater Dei.   The whole thing is out of whack - a coach from upstate NY, players from around the country ( though I wish them the best).  Instead of trying to be a national power, SJC should just try to win the WCAC and play one out of town game a season.  It’s not just SJC, it’s several of the other privates too, to a similar or lesser degree.  This overemphasis on sports leads to the pay for play scenarios being complained about. [/quote]
