What about the public schools? They get double digit transfers every year. No one ever says a peep about them. Public schools actually have it easier because they don’t have to jump through financial aid and tuition barriers. The only difference is it appears that when giving the opportunity kids want to get the better education along with the top-notch football experience.
Miami Northwestern is not in a desirable location for families to move to, but they can get 20 transfers in one off-season. Does that mean they are IMG?
You raise a good point. Let's look at the 2025-2026 tuition for some of the powerhouse schools frequently mentioned herein. STA: $16,500; C-M: $17,150; First Academy: $26,270; AH-P: $42,700(!). I'm sure these are all excellent schools and well worth the money to those so inclined. But makes one wonder how these players from "extreme poverty" (as described by one poster) can afford to pay these rates. Obviously, they are receiving "financial aid" to offset all or some of the expense. I guess they are allowed to do that. But is that same financial aid available to a young lady from the same background who wants to take AP courses and play in the band? Maybe; I guess it's a matter of priorities. Either way, it's easy to see why people are suspicious of these schools and the advantages they possess.
Keeping it real , a lot of these schools are just like iMG
Sta, American Heritage, Chaminade for example.
only difference is , iMG has dorms on campus & plays a 10 game national schedule, they don’t care about being apart of the FHSAA playoffs or winning a championship. And they still get Top D1 offers.
where as chaminade, STA, American heritage, they may not have dorms on campus, but it’s a few kids I know personally that has lived with some of the coaching staff, they recruit/get transfers state wide and nationally. And that mad expensive tuition half the time don’t even be charged to the players they really wanna have on the team.
but yet they still get to unfairly compete in the regular FHSAA playoffs and state championships.
Pretty much what I gathered above. Kick off classic games are to be played by no later then aug 15.
being that the broward vs USA showcase starts August 21st-23rd, that means that every game being played on that week is officially your week 1 game, which will go on your record.
