Micah Parsons calls out crooked PIAA at the Super Bowl

"We made it to the finals with 35 kids and lost to a team with 8 D1 recruits..."

"They had more seniors than we had players"
 
Private schools should play in their own league like in Maryland. Should level the playing field for all participants. It promotes safety and fair competition. We know why they don't, money, the big donations they receive and a wink, wink.

I hope Micah has (or gets) a smart PR guy. Settling your decade-old grievance about HS FOOTBALL on television is, umm...STUPID AS HELL. Write a letter, nimrod.
 
BTW--SUPPOSE a school like, I don't know...PSU, maybe? has a player payroll of $20 mil vs < $2 million for their opponent. Should the game be cancelled? Should it not count as a win for PSU?
 
Says the guy that was given a mid-season transfer waiver from the PIAA
If I recall there was one team that wasn’t too happy about facing Micah twice in the regular as a member of two different teams
How about you stop whining about a HIGH SCHOOL football game you lost badly 10 years after it happened? I fear the guy has been overtaken by some sort of Cryboy Loser Syndrome.

Wow, look at all that hate for a Penn State legend.... strange. All he did was tell it like it is. Didn't realize we have so many PIAA apologists in here 😂

No doubt. If you want change, write a letter that no one will probably read and will just be chucked in the garbage, rather than putting the issue on blast to an entire viewing audience, and then those who report on said thing. BRILLIANT!

The rules are such that the "opponent" could have a $20M payroll, as well ... but they chose not to do so. Compare to the situation where private schools can bring in athletes from all sorts of towns ... and, even, different states, whereas public schools can't.

So, other than your analogy being completely wrong, you were bang on. Good job.

It's high school football. No changes are going to make people happy. Parsons can speak his mind. We know it won't change anything. Just Parsons being Parsons.

Temple is NEVER going to have that kind of dough. Neither are a fair # of B1G teams. So, other than your claims being false, you were spot on. Good job Porpoise B!tch.🤣

You tried, again ... and failed. Again. Whether or not they WILL have that kind of dough isn't the point. It's if they COULD. They have every opportunity, within the rules, to compete, financially, with anyone else. That they don't or won't, is irrelevant. Compare, again, to public v. private, where public schools can't just recruit all over the map to bring in new athletes. They are, by rule, restricted in who can attend ... unlike the private schools. There's a difference in rules, yet they're competing against each other. That, of course, is inherently unfair.

If, tomorrow, some mega-donor wanted to drop a cool $1B on the Temple football program and try to turn them into a powerhouse, they could do that. Perfectly legal.

If, tomorrow, some public school wanted to recruit stud athletes from different towns to stay where they're living, but attend their high school, they COULDN'T do that, within the rules.

Even you should be able to see where you were wildly wrong. Again.

Here's another example ... if you and I competed in an IQ contest, you could, technically, win ... but you never would. That doesn't mean the test is unfair. It just means you're stupid, and I'm smart. It's a "fair" fight - my brain against yours, even if you're going to get embarrassed.

Now if the rules were set up so I had to take the test alone, but you could consult with anyone else you wanted ... I'd probably still win, but it would be an unfair competition. My brain against potentially billions of brains.

See how logic and reason work? Now you try (for once) ...

And a HS could hire Nick Saban away from Alabama and get investors to build free homes for top recruits. Why didn't Micah's HS do this?

More importantly, why is an NFL player whining about a HS game? Especially when they let HIM transfer midseason?

A ton of public high school coaches recruit…I’m not sure why so many won’t admit to that.

you dont even live in PA do you. Are there a few, sure, but you can count them on your hands, BUT EVERY GOD DAMN PRIVATE SCHOOL IN PA RECRUITS, EVEN THE ONES THAT SUCK OR THE ONES WHO DONT SAY THEY DO!!!!!

I coach my sons 1st/2nd grade basketball team, we played a team just last week that was from a k-12 private christian school that sucks every year at the HS level, 4-17 last year. The head coach went up to my son after the handshake line to ask him who his parents were. I overheard it and asked the coach why he wanted to know and he said that he wanted to know if he could play with them in the spring and talk about enrolling there. They are recruiting 1st graders.

I also coach HS baseball and I have to email all of the potential baseball players in my feeder middle schools nearly every week to see how they are doing and offer opportunities to come up and work out with us because some of them have 5 and 6 private schools contacting them. I have two former players in the big leagues, two others in pro ball, have had upwards of 50 play college baseball, the privates know I can develop players so they constantly contact kids in my program. Hell some of those private school guys sit in my parking lot after my summer camps trying to steal kids. I've never seen a public school coach do that.

Get back to me if your kids are still crying about it 8-10 years after HS, when they are pro athletes.

Not every private school recruits and more public school coaches recruit than you know about. My son was recruited by more public school coaches than private with some even ready to provide us with an address to use. Every state has the same argument, so PA is not unique. It’s not really that important either way….its high school sports and most schools will never win a state championship anyway.

I’ll guarantee that what you said is only specific to your area. West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey. I’ve worked in all of them. It is exactly what I said in the prior post. You are just oblivious to it because you have your own beliefs and refuse to see what’s going on.

I have my own beliefs because, like you, I’ve seen things with my own eyes. And I’m quite sure Martinsburg wins every year just because of their fine coaching….bwahahaha.

Wow, so one city in the entire country is unlike the rest. And by the way parents just choosing to move into the district who’ve never had contact with the coaches that’s not recruiting. Private schools have no district so that is recruiting because they’ve had to have made contact.

Also funny that when I coached in West Virginia up in the Brooke County area schools like Weirton Madonna, linsley and wheeling Central and even schools in Pennsylvania, were trying to get kids from our area. I remember schools like Bishop Canavan and Pittsburgh Central Catholic at some of our middle school games.

Brooke High School used to be the dominant program in the state because of recruiting. Then when Brooke stopped recruiting, Steubenville Ohio became a powerhouse because all the players in that area went there. And how about Woodrow Wilson high school and Greenbrier East in basketball and Parkersburg High School in football? Let’s not forget Hurricane and Nitro in baseball. All public schools and all recruit like crazy.

Parsons is not a “Penn State Legend”. Legends don’t bail on their team.

Big red has always been a powerhouse, Reno won before brooke was good. Brooke had a few good years when Mason and a few other sons of steel mill workers were all together from 8u on up. Madonna, wheeling central, linsley and Steubenville CC were always at youth leagues when I played in the late 80’s every private was trying to get Matt Gaudio to transfer from Brooke in basketball too.
