Not being fair ain't the half of it.
What they are essentially doing is putting together an AAU team and exploiting the HS infrastructure to get extra games with big gyms under the pretense of competing as a High School team.
NCH opted out of their league this season so they could put together their own slate which included 8 teams from out of state. They were expected to generate $75,000 in revenue from basketball this season and could top 100k next year.
That is a lot of money to be floating around a HS athletic department. Recruiting a team to generate revenue is NOT what HS BBall is about.
Mayo, Walker and Ellis all chose to play at NCH. Does anyone else wonder what incentives tempted them to choose to play two divisions below the big dogs?
Sorry, I'm hijacking.
