Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Just something else to benefit larger schools. Â I'm mostly disappointed in Kevin Martingayle's bogus "representative democracy" argument. It's absurd to follow a "one student, one vote" model unless the students themselves are actually voting. Â I actually know of Martingayle's work aside from this, and I just lost a mountain of respect for that man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futbolking 766 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Whatever they decide, I'm sure they won't factor SWVA into the decision at all. cityofRaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50kw 140 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Sadly this is not only the case in regard to sports but in politics as well. The voices and opinions of SWVA fall on deaf ears because the powers-that-be do not fear us at the polls. There is not enough population to make a difference and more are leaving everyday. It looks like consolidation is a word we will be hearing more as well due to the aging of area facilities. Get used to it. Jason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhstigerfan 12 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Those poor Hampton Roads schools, having to travel all the way up I-64 to Richmond for playoff games. Must be rough. BigWinners 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacker 82 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 This smells like one of those "At the request of" bills. Those are bills that legislators introduce at the request of some interest group in their district; that they don't expect to pass.  It generates a little heat but not much traction. If that is the case, it won't make it out of commitee.  I hope I am right.

bhs7695 185 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Maybe those larger schools should just break away from the VHSL and form their own division. They can then decide what they the want for everything relating to those larger schools and they wouldn't have to play anyone outside of themselves. They can keep all the gate money between each other and if they want to decide to pay their players for playing sports, they can do that too.....

cityofRaven 2,443 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 C'mon guys, we all know that the VHSL is equipped to handle these type of situations with efficiency.

bucfan64 307 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Yep, lets get the government involved! Â I propose a two house legislative body for the VHSL. 2 Votes per school District in one house and 1 Vote per each 1,000 students per school district in the 2nd house. Â all proposed bills must be passed in both houses and approved by the GRAND POOBA in order to go into effect.

AA95 0 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Gate City haters really are in some dire need of new material. Not a GC hater actually. Far from it in fact.  But I don't understand why Virginians are so willing to pay for out-of-state athletes to attend our schools without paying tuition and play our sports without paying fees while taking participation time away from the children of Virginians who actually do pay taxes. And since the local school's operating budgets are heavily subsidized from Richmond it means that people in Marion (for example) are being forced to foot the bill. Meaning that Scott County couldn't actually afford to pay for its out-of-state atheletes on its own without help from across the state.  And all that without even considering the cost of one extra year that is essentially nothing but baby sitting the sport hold backs for an extra year. And before anyone mentions safety concerns let me remind you that the current system is ideal at maximizing the potential size difference between a smallish freshman and the largest 19 year old senior. It is entirely common for an 18 year old male to add 40 pounds in that extra year.

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 He does have a couple decent points, it does cost the tax payers more to have a student repeat a grade for purely athletic reasons. Im not complaining, but that is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
