A couple years from now, it will be flag football. No more contact sports. 

Dubois has made that call guys and BC will play WOS going forward. BTW that call was made BEFORE this season started 

Lots of good info here already but there is a huge hole in this that nobody has addressed yet and that's the JUCO option. So many kids and parents get caught up in the "I signed D1" race to really take a look at just what they got into. More often than not these kids end up being cheer leaders for a year or two while getting only a handful of AB's, innings pitched, or games played while they wait their turn. If you are not careful and don't research the rosters and commitments you can get yourself buried on the depth chart before you even start. Too many times the bright lights of "I signed D1" gets in the way of making a rational choice. Signing up with a quality JUCO and getting 150-200 AB's a year while playing 60-75 games is not a bad option. Couple that with the fact that you can get a 100% full scholarship and it's hard to deny the fact that JUCO is a very good option. Another thing to consider is that you are taking the exact same classes at JUCO as one would at a D1 without being just a number. For example take freshman english at Texas, A&M, U of H or wherever and you are in an auditorium with several hundred other students, good luck getting to know your teacher. Same class at JUCO and you are looking at a "big class" of 30 people. It's just my opinion but I'd take the chance to play for 2 years and go to a bigger school with a legit shot to be in the lineup over being a practice player and cheerleader for a year or 2. Now don't get me wrong, some situations are different and some freshmen walk in and play from day 1 but those are far fewer than the ones who sit and wait. You have to do your homework before you jump, check the rosters to see how many returning players are at your position and what class they are in. At times D1 coaches are much more apt give a JUCO transfer some scholarship money than they would take a chance on an unproven high school guy, especially after a JUCO guy puts up some good numbers in the classroom and on the diamond. This shows the JUCO has taken care of his business and proven himself, almost like being on probation at a job. Each and every kid has a different set of circumstances and no one route is best for everyone, take your time and explore all the options.

Scatright your talking to a guy Mpadgett that played in one of your "program" schools seems to me he would be just a Lil more knowledgeable in this area than you and you seem to think you actually made a point ...wow ...

You nailed it. Hope those taxpayers see the light, and soon!

How much deeper are you going to dig this hole? Paying Briggs probably 10x Stump's stipend as AD seems unnecessary and wasteful to many. And Briggs will only ride out the next year or two, then he will go fishing. Are you saying Stump was not doing his job? Can't say I have heard anyone say that. Ask some of the coaches he has gone up against. I bet you won't find one that will say his Cardinals weren't ready to play. Are you saying other coaches at BC aren't doing their jobs? Who are they? How do you know this? Maybe you should be the next Superintendent. I'm SURE you are qualified.

I hope you don't live in a glass house, because you sure throw a lot of stones.

No, many, many coaches could not have made the playoffs 4 years in a row (and not one monkey could have either). I have no dog in the hunt personally, but your statement is wrong. By saying that you show everyone you do not understand how difficult coaching is. This puts your previous postings in the proper perspective.
