I don't think the St Anthony's or Chaminade superintendent (or equivalent) will ever do anything to stop the pressure (overt or covert) that those coaches use to force boys to play Express. Its still very wrong for those coaches to do both.

there is a big difference between public and private school with regard to conflict of interest, when you sign on for chaminade or st. a it all comes with the territory - no one is holding a gun to your head, you don't like it you leave. public school conflict of interest is another story and the fact that they're paid with tax payer funds and then find the need to manipulate thier students for extra money is disgusting


I disagree strongly. It makes no difference how the school is funded - either taxes or tuition. The conflict of interest is exactly the same. It shouldn't "come with the territory" no matter how the school is funded. There are some brave souls who play for St. Anthonys or Chaminade and also for fl$ and other clubs not called Express. Good for them for not caving into the pressure. But the pressure from St. A's or Chaminade shouldn't exist in the first place. The powers that be at St. A's and Chaminade should stop this - but they won't.
