Quote: I remember when Bishop England was beaten in football by Hanahan something like 70 to 0 a while back. There are numerous other stories like this in sports like football and basketball. Is there an unfair advantage there? Private schools are allowed to take any student who can pay tuition. So far there has not been a rampant factual basis for these schools paying kids to go to school for the sole purpose of athletics. In the cases that have been discovered, very few, they have been dealt with.
Football and Basketball are not socio-economic Soccer is.
Look at the Massey ratings thread and you will see that lack of poverty is one of the best indicator of school performance in soccer. The best schools are almost always among the richest.
