With A LOT of money to $pend and nobody in charge not even to watch the admission gate or hiring of coache$, look for $ervite to come to life; football $oon at it$ fine$t, forget $tandards. Leasder$hip is good football, $ervite is the name of leader$hip. It'$ the new $tandard. $ervite lead$ the way.

Professor, are you sugarcoating the situation? I have a few questions. "Nothing in common but a love of playing the game" - don't they have the name "on the front of the jersey" in common? If the name on the front is so important, why would they leave it? Do you really find a team and not individual...

A bit of a strawman argument sugarcoat. Public schools are required to take any and all students, regardless of their needs because that's what they are funded to do thru taxes. Private schools are funded by tuition. BTW, I know MD has students with special needs as students. on another note, If an...

It would seem to me as Christian organizations, they have an even greater purpose and reason to accept any and all children into their schools/programs and encourage more to follow. Not to get all religious about it, but their school and program is a part of their ministry and outreach and one can ...

TheFan - you say it very well. The way high school students are being used is horrific. Public schools have controls on enrollment, hiring, and facilities that don't exist in the private school. Does the CIF have backbone? Answer, the CIF make$ money on $ucce$$ - the "super privates" make money too....

Thank you but why single out Mater Dei? I’m not saying all Trinity League teams are guilty by association but... shouldn’t the Trinity League schools have some sort of High moral standard Ought not the Trinity League schools be schools not just teams that are looked up to because they rise above the...

jb914 - it's not the web-site; it's the mission of the school, the purpose for their very existence. Read their mission statement, then consider where the emphasis or as another thread has it "priorities" (sic) lie.

Strike now while the leader's chair is empty. The school has to have money and lots of it. Basketball is another sport Servite has not spent money on in years. Recruit coaches and players.

Reading the webpage IMG seems to be a very honest place. It is all about sports. Am I missing something? It is about sports. Other schools, public and especially Catholic should be so honest.

Just watch the money go to football. Money that has been saved. Money that is itching to be spent. The school must be loaded and will spend like never before.

Servite will be spending money it has not spent to win football games. Mediocre coaching has saved money and ruined the school's successful image, an image which means everything. Students will be coming from all over, coaches will be hired from all over. Money will flow from the school to the footb...

Drain the swamp! Clear out the administrators. Leadership begins with the leader and his team. The TT hire was a hire under great pressure and no search for anyone else. Bring the old guy back, it was done before and it is easy. Again the hire of a known person close at hand. Sports success does not...

HonorGloryLove, Catholic high schools have bitten the apple of victory at any cost and have lost the very purpose of their schools. They have sold out to attracting winning coaches and players. At any cost; intellectual, moral, or financial. Paying tuition bills was a stretch for you, perhaps a Cath...

$ervite ha$ it. Watch how it i$ $pent. Certainly mediocrity; hires close at hand and alumni didn't co$t. That $chool is loaded. While the president's office is empty, ju$t watch what will happen. It'$ already $tarted.

Yes! They haven’t spent money on it since TT left. Two quick and cheap hires, alumni coaches, all subpar. Yes, they saved money. When you don’t spend money it is saved. And the program shows the savings. There must be a pretty good savings.

Awesome news. Make Servite Great Again. From the record and mediocrity of the past few years, Servite has not spent much capital on the football program. The President of Servite is out of the office, now they can. Servite must have a lot of money beyond petty cash saved for football! The Hawaii hir...

This thread is not about my daily life - it is about a rumor that directly questions some Servite behavior. So let's get back on topic. How ethical is Servite? Mater Dei.

So the student athlete is being used - a victim of "just win baby, just win"

I would think these critics would prefer these kids attend private schools so at least they aren't burning up tax payer money while they play "school tag". Honestly, all this "morality" business just sounds like coded language for something else....racism, classism, pietism, whatever. Just come out...

How does the Catholic school achieve a financial gain if these kids enroll? Most of these kids will pay very little in tuition, so the school will likely realize a financial loss. Prove the point! Athletes attracted to the school do not pay tuition - on the tuition side the school loses. While the ...
