We already had this discussion on another thread. If BW was satisfied with recruiting and pulling in kids from outside this area, paying for their room and board and tuition, I think most public school admins would have been OK with it. Once you recruit and take a couple of the best local players there isn't a school in 60 miles that won't have a massive issue. loco09 can say well it only happens once in a decade. Well, it has already happened the first year with no need to mention names. The reply can be it doesn't matter, but that is the TOP reason you are seeing fall out for the county teams all dropping BW. Unfortunately, everyone is looking out for their own school with total disregard for how it affects kids at the other schools. BW is guilty of it, the public schools are guilty of it. That is where we are as I mention this for like the tenth time.
I know all the admins we speak of and I can say with 100% certainty they are extremely concerned and unhappy right now with BW because most of their sports programs are dealing with a massive decline in participation numbers due to size and whatever other reason. This is not 30-40 years ago. That is the TOP reason BW was not asked to join the new Western Maryland Sports League. There isn't a one of these coaches or admins that doesn't cringe at the thought of losing their top player or two regardless of the sport. Based on personal conversations with those people it won't surprise me if BW is wiped clean off every sport schedule in an effort to fight for athletic survival in this small community. They cannot stop BW from recruiting local kids, but they can refuse to compete against BW. And that's what is happening.
