[quote=Anonymous]Oh geez, PP. The black kids on the football team are more than likely on scholarship. Do you have boys who play sports on a competitive level (not little kid club leagues, but travel leagues)? I didn't say all the black kids at prep are on scholarship (I have friends whose black and brown kids went to prep...actually, one was on an academic scholarship). But the kids I interacted with on the football team? And their parents? Athletic scholarships. Period. And I have a relative who is chums with coaches at GC...I assure you they have a great athletic scholarship program. Heck, I know people involved with the politics of area sports programs/travel leagues that recruit black kids in barber shops in low income areas to play for free on teams (ie: fees are waived for the super athletic ten year old to play on the team...everyone else is paying several hundred dollars for their kids). In short: coaches want to win, so they do what they can to make it happen.

PS - if you knew anyone at prep, you'd understand. [/quote]
