[quote]1.  As noted, the significance of upperclass transfers.  The other IAC schools do not appear to bring in [b]senior[/b] transfers, even the ones that recruit most aggressively.  If the other IAC heads feel that what could be analogized to bringing in junior college transfers at the collegiate level is not consistent with an athletic conference meant to keep a balance between academics and athletics, this could be something that is a flashpoint in terms of a movement to expel Bullis from the conference.

2.  Recruiting players from other league schools.  There are several sports in which Bullis coaches or their emissaries have approached athletes already attending a school in the conference and encouraged them to switch to Bullis.  Maybe the IAC will go in a direction that some of the big Catholic high school conferences have gone -- just prohibit such behavior and make students sit out a season if they switch schools -- but this could also be an impetus for kicking Bullis out of the conference.

My own assessment is that it is unlikely, but not impossible, that the IAC would expel Bullis.  Bullis's best protection is the small size of the conference already (only six schools), and the gentle hand of inertia.  Perhaps a more plausible scenario would be that, as was done with Georgetown Prep, Bullis would not be part of the conference for football.  Again, because the conference is so small (only 5 IAC football schools) that probably would not happen.[/quote]

Prep is similar to Gonzaga.  The junior college and D1 major program moves to D3 in college are what Bullis is doing.  That happens in some college leagues but not others.  NFL coaches monitoring D3 players is a big sign.  Bullis is bringing in national level D1 big program recruits.

Prep  was a powerhouse in the IAC but that was based on size of the school, coming in at high school, etc.  Prep coaches, players, and fans did not and do not behave like Bullis.  Trashy program.  [/quote]
