@FIHSA1989@michaelsobrien The bracket results say otherwise . They show an equal distribution of championships and success across both private and public schools over the last 10 years, all classes . If the 30 mile rule provided such a lopsided advantage, private would dominate all classes every year.
@Tom004954531440 @everygirl_guide@gilmartin_tom@michaelsobrien I think we’re arguing 2 different points here. If I look at the IHSA playoff history over the last 10 years, every other sport has an equal distribution of championships and success across both public and private schools .
@Chris_allen196@michaelsobrien The ten year playoff history in every other sport shows a fair and equitable distribution of championship success across both private and public , therefore making the 30 mile advantage argument moot and invalid.
@Chris_allen196@michaelsobrien My position is that if the 30 mile rule was such an advantage, the private schools would dominate every sport, every year And that’s simply not the case Public schools are consistently winning titles in the other sports
@Tom004954531440 @everygirl_guide@gilmartin_tom@michaelsobrien My position is simply that if the 30 mile radius rule is such an advantage, the private schools would dominate every sport, every year
@Tom004954531440 @gilmartin_tom@michaelsobrien I’ll bite.
It’s the same radius when it comes to basketball, baseball, hockey, wrestling, water polo, or any other sport
How many private school state champs in any of those sports in the last 5 years ?
@Chris_allen196@michaelsobrien What private school wins basketball state title recently?
Baseball?
Wrestling?
Hockey?
Volleyball?
Water polo?
Same radius applies
