I am not Allen. I don't even have a kid that has played for you. My son is in a different age group then what you have coached. My BEEF with you is you come on here and act like you are Gods gift to baseball and are better then the rest of those who have proven track records. These guys don't have to promote themselves and brag about what they can do. Their results speak for them. Even when they first opened there respectable facilities they never bragged about themselves like you do. Maybe you could be a decent coach but you are going about it the wrong way and making a bad rep for yourself by the way you are trying to promote yourself and trying to put down these other respectable organizations. They have proven coaches and have the the respect of a lot of people in this area because of the product they have put out and don't bash other organizations as you have. If you want your little team to succeed I suggest you take notes from these other organizations and learn from them how to operate rather then come on here and compare yourself to them when you have nothing to stand on as for as a proven record.

I am a huge college fan but this ruling is ridiculous. I say if they want to be considered employees of the college then they need to see what it is like to be in the work force. Go ahead and pay these kids but, cut back on the scholarship percentage and let them see what it's like to be a working man and pay for what you want......I believe an athlete that gets his tuition paid for and stays in the athlete's dorms with meals is enough for these kids. If they want spending money then let them work in the offseason and learn to save......receiving a scholarship to a college is an honor not a priveledge. Some kids now days are so spoiled they don't appreciate what is given to them, all they want is more. This is going to hurt college sports a whole lot more then help it. Big schools will even suffer in the long run. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Look what happened to the NFL since the union came in. It created a lot of greedy men who are basically playing for the money and not for the passion of the game like it should be. Same will happen in college....Just wait.

Don't drop the soap big boy.

Not if you give them a meal card that is only redeemable at the dorms cafeteria. That is the logical way.

He is looking for the right players that fit his system regardless of it being a 3star or 5star athlete. He wants kids that will come in and work hard not a kid that is highly decorated and expects to play right away just because he is a 4 or 5 star player. Primadonna's are not what he is looking for. Look at what Briles has done with 2 and 3 star athletes with a couple of 4's mixed in. It is all about knowing what players fit your system and how bad they want it. Look back and see how many 5 star highly decorated high school players bombed out once they got to college. I would much rather a kid with heart, drive and determination to get better and work his arse off to do it instead of the Primadonna that comes in and thinks just because he has 5 stars by his name he is automatically the stud star of the team. Not saying all 5stars are like that but I have watched plenty of them fall flat on their face and not live up to that 5star much less a 2star athlete.

The state of Texas is an at will state. Which means you can be fired without any explanation.

Typical BISD. Thank GOD my kid is not in that school district. This has to be one of the worst ran districts in the state of Texas in my opinion. No respectable and successful coach in his right mind would want to put his name in to be a part of this hornets nest. Until BISD cleans all this up and decides to run a school district worth being a part of then they will not have well known coaches applying for jobs. Foreman is only here to get his foot in the door as a head coach and then he will find greener pastures somewhere else.
