I figured you did.  

Jambun, you’re down there at the bottom of the page sounding like a frustrated JV chain-gang official whose whistle broke in the first quarter. You want to whine about a "30,000-word response" when it was barely 400 words of real economic reality. But I suppose missing the mark by that wide of a margin is pretty symbolic of your supposed career wearing stripes—no wonder you’re so used to people screaming at your blind spots. You're so wrapped up in your "Just the facts, ma'am" Joe Friday routine that you completely missed the elephant in the room. While you’re celebrating the Tallahassee press release, the actual landscape of Florida high school football is getting completely redrawn. Go down to Broward, Dade, or Venice and ask those coaches if they care about the "philosophy" of the rules. They care about the books. They care about the fact that Georgia has been poaching the best offensive minds in the south for a decade because our stipends wouldn't cover a tank of gas and a 12-pack of sweet tea. The $15,000 allowance is a drop in the bucket compared to explicitly letting the country club booster circuits pass the collection plate around to legally pad coach salaries and buy 'em new trucks. If looking for "Neutral Observers" under your bed gives you some kind of peace of mind to avoid the actual conversation, go right ahead and keep digging, detective. I’m a lifetime gambling man—I’d put fifty bucks on a couple of land crabs racing across a hot boat ramp before I’d bet on you actually addressing the points made here—but even I wouldn't touch the over/under on how fast rosters are gonna turn over now. The highest bidder is about to run the districts. Put your whistle away and look at the scoreboard

But you still have the private schools that takes good talented kids and build a powerhouse team.

Yeah here we go, "The Toilet Man" chimes in with his 30,000 word response while ultimately saying nothing of value or circumstance! Sir, have you ever heard of a poster named Neutral Observer? Yes you probably have, I have a feeling that you just might know him a lot better than most of us do, NOIMSAYIN?! 

I warn you to be careful nolebull813, your common sense, logical, reasoned, point-of-view just might run afoul of the "follow the rules no matter what because they are the rules" crowd that posts on the message board! You know these posters take these "rules" very seriously, and I really wonder if some of them would defend the "rules" with their lives!
