[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son plays football for Cilento.  He has never been yelled at or treated poorly by anyone on the coaching staff.

Funny how these comments come out after a shutout by Bullis.  They won the IAC two years ago and would have likely won it last year if not for their QB getting injured before the final game.  This year, they have a shot at winning it again.  So no surprise the haters have come out.

The number of kids who have transferred in as juniors is a handful.  If your son doesn't go to Bullis, why would you care?

For us, the school has been great academically and athletically.

As for the song, do you really have nothing better to do than worry if a rap song THAT IS ON TOP 40 RADIO is played during the pregame?  LOL.[/quote]

It is a fact that they've had transfers senior year.  For a few years the IAC will probably roll with what Bullis does, figuring that every dog has its day and that things are cyclical.  But if as a school Bullis continues to recruit players who are actually attending another league school, and bring in upperclass junior/senior transfers for their marquee sports (football, basketball, lacrosse), I do think there is a possibility the IAC will vote them out of the conference.  That would not be a good result for Bullis.

Again, time will tell if this is a good long-term strategy (concentrating on sports, using the financial aid dollars for mostly athletes) -- as a school in MoCo Bullis needs to market itself, and sports may be a good way to do it.  But if they eventually are seen as a sort of rogue sports school that may chase away some of their constituency in terms of full paying students.[/quote]

So what you are saying is Bullis is recruiting top Jr. and Sr. students who are gifted athletically into their school, thus ruining their education, in order to win a few games?  That's what it seems you are continually implying.
