So let me take a quick guess at what the deal is with this situation. (Keep in mind that I have no children and know pretty much nothing about their football program)

Tell me if any, or all of these might be correct.

There is a school board member that is pissed off that their kid doesn't get to play as much as they think he should.

Many parents are upset with the fact that high school football now has no problems with districts bringing in 'ringers' to supplement their football programs.

This 'co-op' sounds like it is a concept that can be ripe for corruption.

The coaches just flat-out don't like some of the kids for various reasons?

How do any of those sound?

I have a problem thinking that the kids from Geibel are coming here for the 'love of the game' only. It just feels like there is somehow, some way, cash or other 'incentives' are being used to get them here. I could be wrong but I like a good conspiracy theory.

But hey, the bottom line is we can screw ALL these kids over because there is an endless supply of parents and board members that think their kid is the next Heisman Trophy winner.
