This might have been true before school of choice but it's no longer the case. Schools are forced to keep sports instead of teachers in fear of losing students. The average kid can't play because of the pressure to win. And because of the pressure to win, school officials are motivated to look the other way when their athletes break the rules or don't make the grade. The MHSAA already knows about the problem of recruiting. This is evident in the constant rule changes and the inability to enforce them. I have been coaching a couple of sports in a small community for the past few years travel teams and high school. The problems with high school sports are evident to anyone involved. When is the MHSAA going to pull their heads out of the sand. High school sports are college sports it's all about the money! https://my.mhsaa.com/News/Blog-From-the-Director/ID/163/Punch#Comments
