Tuition is only around $10,000. You don’t have to be rich to afford that as long as you cut other things out of your budget. Many Catholic families are willing to sacrifice for their kids. Pretty admirable.
But please answer this: can kids receiving financial assistance participate in athletics?
The answer to your question is no.
You’re pretty new to the board and have missed a decade of entertaining rants by FNL. This thread started with his rant against Deanna who simply pointed out that many local schools have benefited from loose transfer policies over the years including hers.
As to me personally my father was a mill worker and my mother worked in the mills as well. They mortgaged their modest home five times to help get their kids educated. I worked five jobs in college and graduate school, there was no silver spoon. The idea that Bishop is a rich private school is ludicrous, just visit their athletic facilities to see for yourself. Many families work multiple jobs to send their kids there but do so for the Catholic education.
FNL likes to point to Bishops website as something nefarious when in fact it is there for complete transparency. Every Bishop poster for the past decade has acknowledged that there is not a level playing field. Many local posters have pointed out the lack of level playing field as well for schools like my airy who have had out of district players for decades. FNL however takes it to a new level by accusing Bishop of cheating.
The longer you stay on this site the more you will entertained by FNL, he is a fruitcake, certified, with papers. His claim to fame is posting scores which are appreciated by all. But, if he doesn’t get enough ‘likes” he whines and threatens to leave the site (at least a 100 times over the years). He’s a sad old man who defines his importance by how he is treated here.
