All teams from within 2 hours of ponte vedra for regular season schedule

Despite it being a public school, I'm fairly certain the ponte vedra booster club/parents would have no problem footing a travel bill.

What I'm saying is public schools are rarely allowed to travel long distances for games unless they able to pay for it out of their own athletic budget since duval county won't pay them the money to travel to South Florida to take games that AHP take

UMmmmm for the past couple of years you had duval teams come down here to play .... Public schools at that.. It's not an expensive trip from Jacksonville to Miami and back.. Your basically paying for the Charter buses...

Since 2011 Columbia has gotten charter bus twice for a game and we don't got to compete with 40 other schools for community support

 

Oh and while you at it care to name all these schools?

Raines , First Coast and I think Ribualt came down here.... Not counting Bolles cause their rich....

In vice versa Central Norland and The West went up there...

AHP was a question for me all this year. Their best wins were Don Bosco and Jesuit in my opinion. There were a few teams they should have trampled, but the scores were to close for comfort. 

Is Ponte really that good? Seems their schedule was more soft than hard. 

Ehh their schedule wasn't soft, but they didn't ever wow me.    You think beating Jesuit is more impressive than beating Miami Northwestern, Cardinal Gibbons 2x, Colquitt County, Miami Norland?

They easily beat Gibbons the first game. The second game is always harder when the other coach prepares for it. I admit it was a good year or Gibbons, but they're football program has never 'really' impressed me. Now their wrestling team...

 

Norland, they were not a good team this year. 4 wins and 6 losses... Just nothing to get excited about.

 

Colquitt was in a rebuild year and AHP caught them early. If they played in late Nov then it would have been more impressive since Propst knows how to develop a team early in the season. It was a good win for AHP in Georgia, but not one of the better wins. Northwestern was a tougher team to beat in my opinion. 

 

Northwestern, good team, good game. Lost to early in the playoffs. Made a good game against AHP, and in correction, probably the 2nd team best to play AHP, right behind Don Bosco..

Norland played Ribualt n I think Northwestern played Raines... I could be wrong ...

    • This the FHSAA definition for the issue at hand:   An “impermissible benefit” is any arrangement, assistance or benefit that is not offered or generally made available to all students and/or their families who apply to or attend a school, or that otherwise is prohibited by FHSAA rules. Receipt of a benefit by a student-athlete or his/her family is not a violation of FHSAA rules if it is demonstrated that the same benefit is generally available to the school’s students or family members and is not based in any way on athletic interest, potential or performance. A student who is found to have accepted an impermissible benefit will be ineligible for interscholastic athletic competition for one or more years at the school to which the student accepted the impermissible benefit and may be declared ineligible for interscholastic athletic competition at all member schools for one or more years. Specific examples are listed here:  https://fhsaa.com/documents/2020/4/14//Policy_37_2_2.pdf?id=71 There is no mention of the impact of blood relations, nor am I familiar with the NCAA regulations during Marcus Vick's career from 2002-2005.  But these are the regulations that apply in this case.
    • When Marcus Vick was at Virginia Tech, his brother Michael Vick was making tens of millions of dollars in the NFL. Being his brother, Marcus was showered with luxury cars, jewelry and housing. How is this not impermissible benefits? Because they share blood? And if so, how much blood is enough? What if it was a step dad who was loaded? Is he allowed to give you all the money you want as a student athlete? What about a family friend? A friend of your parent who was friends with the family before you were born? Is he allowed to shower you with gifts?    How detached from the athlete does the person have to be for it be considered “impermissible benefits”????
    • I think public sentiment has shifted to where most think the rules should be changed so all schools are allowed to offer such benefits to the best of their ability. I also think it's worth noting that, after being hammered by the FHSAA, The First Academy has continued recruiting and simply scheduled an extremely ambitious national schedule, while forgetting about the watered down FHSAA playoffs. We're going to see more programs go this route. Eventually, there will be enough such programs that a new league, operating under an entirely different (and capitalist!) set of rules, is formed and will feature the top programs. This will bring about the "separate playoffs for schools who recruit" idea many here have clamored for. Again, at the root of all of this is the fact that big time, for-profit sports programs have grown beyond what school systems are equipped to deal with. The schools need to see their way out of big time sports. And the big time sports can market themselves on a regional/geographic basis instead of the old "cheer for the alma mater" approach. 
    • yep, see my post below yours and above this one...
    • As I understand it, Teddy is in trouble, not because he donated out of his own pocket, but because he gave it directly to the football program. The powers that be wanted that money to go to the school admin and/or Dade county schools. And those entities then would distribute equal shares of that money across the entire school and/or district (after squandering a large share for themselves). The spirit or ideology driving that process is "equity", which, by an overwhelmingly gaping margin, is THE biggest focal point of education today. This isn't a secret, or a "conspiracy theory" : they tell us all this themselves. Things like learning to read, do math, operate a business etc are all tertiary in importance now. Primarily and secondarily, the focus is "equity". From Kindergarten through PHD programs in ALL fields (yes, including quantum physics). And, "equity" is measured in outcomes: only when everyone- to borrow the phrase of the former Vice President- ends up in the same place with the same stuff will we have "equity".  When Teddy opens up his wallet and gives to the football program, the refrain of "equity" monsters is "but what about the girls tennis team" or "what about the football program at Miami Springs?" Teddy's helping MNW football exclusively means unequal or "inequitable" outcomes, and this is sharply opposed in education at all levels today. When Northwestern beat Jackson 48-6 last year, the "equity" monsters in education likely spiraled into deep depression. Pooling the gate among all schools in a district, instead of keeping it between the teams who actually played, is an example of "equity" ideology fouling things up. Like you said, the top few programs end up propping up the moribund programs, a la "Weekend at Bernies". The number one philosopher in academia and within the "equity" movement is Karl Marx. There's always been semantic games played around socialism/communism/Leninism/Marxism/Maoism. What they all have in common is hatred for capitalism and worship of Marx. And Marx conceded that socialism inevitably leads to communism. The ultimate, overarching goal, is the abolition of the state into a classless society free of private property, international borders, police, jails and, yes, market-based economies. Socialism is understood to be a transitionary phase to communism which often appeals to dimwits. To be an admin in a public school system, one must go through extensive graduate level education programming. These programs are currently DOMINATED by socialists/communists/Marxists...throughout academia everywhere in the world. Therefore, we can be certain that the overwhelming majority of administrators witin Dade County schools are socialists/communists/Marxists. That's what Teddy is running up against. The school and district want all money and benefits distributed equally and Teddy didn't play by those rules.
