    • because they are cheating.  They should suspend the entire program and not allow them in the playoffs for two years.  It's one thing to give a kid a ride home from practice that lives in your zone and its another to be paying for rides for kids that don't live in your zone and wouldn't be coming to your school if you were not paying for them to get there.  This was the pattern and not just a random occurrence.  The physical therapy and paying for personal training is also enticement.  There is a reason they got 60 recruits errrr transfers over the last two years.  The school suspended him because the fhsaa is about to hammer them.  Bridgewater will get a minimum 6 games suspension and a $5k fine from the fhsaa.  The next time he will be suspended from ever coaching in Florida.  The school is facing harsh penalties and they are trying to avoid them.   The other stuff pride packs, team meals, field paint, camps could have been paid for by the school.  He could have just donated the money to the school and paid for it.  I'm not sure how to feel in this case.  I'm sure Teddy loves Northwestern and loves those kids but he was either oblivious to the rules or didn't care to follow them.  
    • So if your a person who wants to give a donation no matter the amount how do you do it. Obviously if you played football you want your donations going towards the football team which is what Teddy is doing as the coach and now wants help. But now what about Cheerleading, Basketball, Baseball, Track & Field Soccer and other sports teams.
    • Wow this has my head spinning.  I will reel this in and avoid the political stuff rather than hijack this thread.  I am, though, confused about what you mean by Bridgewater donating his money directly to MNW versus giving it to a wealth redistribution process?  What exact process are you referring to?  Are you talking about shared gate receipts?  I have never liked this policy and have always preferred the home team doing a 60-40 share of their gate with the visiting team rather than donating to a large pool that is divided up evenly.  Here in Pinellas County we pool our gate and there are just a few teams propping up everyone else.  There has to be a better way.   By the way, you might be confusing communism with socialism.  The processes you describe are socialist as well as the mayors you are referring to. Socialism is very different than communism despite similar concepts of sharing.  Communism is bad all around. Socialism isn't so bad and there are no purely capitalist societies out there as they all have some forms of socialism, including the USA.  Try not to get caught up in the anger baiting headlines and just read up on where everyone stands.  I am not a fan of the NY mayor elect but my reasoning is he is too far on the left.  Extremism is bad no matter which side you align with.  Oops, I did go there, my bad.  
    • Last year MNW received 28 transfers in 2 months  This year they received 31 so far. I love today and truly believe he’s for the kids. But how do you think MNW became so good over night? , all those transfers not from the bulls district , hell a few of them are from broward county.    so like most schools who recruit , of course the coaches care about the kids safety therefore getting them Ubers or picking them up. But we’re not gonna act like it’s not also to keep said high prospects on their team to also give them a much better chance to go all the way. This has been going on for years. Teddy fault is that he made it known what he’s doing without blatantly saying “in order to keep my current and future high profile prospects, i have to keep them happy and provided for” , that’s no difference then what TFA was penalized for.    but because they’re a private school it was frowned upon. Northwestern was also investigated going into the playoffs last year for ineligible players. Central had to forfeit their season twice in 5 years because of “slick and sneaky behavior” 
    • Yes, in schools there are typically pretty clear and strict rules around who can be a volunteer for much of anything beyond helping pick up a piece of trash. Generally, the school district wants to cover its rear from volunteers who might commit crimes. But, there has to be some discernment here. Unfortunately, reasoning and decision making are not often emphasized in schools (or in much of society, either).
