The motto of the High School League is, "An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules."
I don't think it's unreasonable to ask that all athletes/schools in line for coronation should compete according to the SAME rules.
While they are very admirable for building strong programs, schools that do not have the same very specific attendance zone and recruiting rules as other member schools are NOT, in point of fact, competing according to the same rules. So, by the SCHSL's own mission statement, should they compete for the same crown?
For the record, I don't have a dog in this fight, and I certainly don't have anything against BE, CC, or SSC...just making an objective observation in response to the question.
