slicklizard Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I don’t live there so I don’t know but I read a comment in the scoreboard thread that insinuated they were. Parents should set their kids up to have a successful life so go for it. On the other hand if some of the resources that have kept economic development under thumb for at least my lifetime were involved somehow. Well I would have a big problem with that. Even bigger if somehow some of that stolen, unrecovered five million from the superintendents office was linked in there somehow. That would be truly awful. I wouldn’t have any issue with Coach Breland. He’s just trying to win.You know these up the street here in Franklinton are cheating as hard as they can. If anyone has anything pour it out . Laying it all out on the table is always the best policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Bert Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 My guess is all the oil folks are sending their kids to the Academy by now. Get a few of those other athletes and your set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunky6617 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 This happens at many private schools. If a kid is good enough athletically, they get a free ride at some private schools. Simpson Academy does this. Simpson Academy also has what they call a “hold back” program, where they hold some players back a grade for athletic purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pancho Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 TCPS did it for years until they started pulling in the big fish from Tupelo high school and were reported. Now Tupelo high is doing it but evidently all the relocations are bonafide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slicklizard Posted August 20 Author Share Posted August 20 Nah it’s not like that Bert. From what the boys have told me all these players are kids of champions that played for Breland as OC for Marcus. . So they just going with what they know will get the best out of them. They didn’t say anything about any compensation and I didn’t ask. I know one thing that little QB down HWY 45 ain’t no ham bone low t offense QB and his daddy won’t let either him or his ace receiver brother be disappeared by the likes of a choad like Bubba H. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess anything’s possible but our folks ain’t the kind to up and move to play football. Plus Marcus may retire again in December. Here it is. Breland quit South Jones to come to Wayne County . He always wanted to coach there. It was already set up with Kevin , who also played for him, to slide down and be an assistant for him. Everyone that had kids coming up knew it and the train was getting ready to roll again. Enter this new supt, who is neighbors with said choad and makes choad principal. Gives him ( a washed out coaching loser )total autonomy over hiring a new coach so he starts tearing stuff down immediately. Calls Todd Lowery and tells him to apply because that’s going to be his new coach. People find out about it and start raising hell. He pulls the recommendation and goes on record as he will not talk about the new coach . Won’t answer the phone or talk to Breland. Two weeks later he slides his other wing t stooge as his endorsement and they hire him. There’s a lot of backstory on why choad did what he did but I don’t want to type no more. He’s enjoying his little power trip right now running around blowing public money on his trips to Clinton , bullying old people and women. I know why he was put where he is now and it’s the same old forces still in place up there. It took a little time but it’s crystal clear now. The school board is spineless right now and are bowing down. That’s where this crap will be torn apart if it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes . Even if they took the hiring decision out of his hands he will sabotage whoever they bring in. He and the Supt both have to go. It will be difficult because choads father in law owns half the town so everyone around the school administration kisses his arse. How else could a loser and failure every where he’s been rise to calling the shots after having to slink back to Beat Four. He’s also a cornerstone at Wayne Academy. The supt is just an imbecile they threw out of Jones County. You connect the dots. Oh the veins are going to be sticking out on his neck when his tattlers run back and tell him what I just wrote. Gloves are off backstabber. You messed with a friend of mine and I won’t stop until you quit . You can’t call anyone and get me disbanded from sporting events. Only reason he did that is because the dude is an old man and couldn’t say anything back. I’m not the only one that knows about it either but they choose to run and cower. Stay hiding I will speak for you. Continue thinking you are untouchable but keep your anti acids handy. The feds have had a hard on for that whole court house since that five million was stolen and never found. Not to mention that last sheriff. Oof that’s a whole other story.

I would suggest you read what I wrote in the body of the message rather than just the title. If you still don’t get it go read the score updates thread . If you still don’t get it after that just scroll past next time. Don’t make assumptions on what I think.

And I believe if I am correct it never mentioned anyone getting school paid for. Just make sure you know all the facts. Because I know those involved and it's deeper than you think.

pancho Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 TCPS was fined and did make payment to the mhsaa. I haven't mentioned payment on here for transferring to a player or family. If it is happening now, it's not through anyone directly associated with a school. I do know of 1 player who was set to transfer to nettleton but stayed where he was due to the nettleton team basically being gutted of players. I will readily admit that some moves are very suspicious on the surface. It may take a few weeks or months for all the info to rise to the top.

slicklizard Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 (edited) So nobody knows nothing ? I don’t know, that’s why I’m asking. Lodging or I don’t know maybe not even lodging. But if a private school wanted to give any kids , athletes or just anyone they felt like free tuition . Is it against any kind of rules ?

It is my understanding there are rules against this but like you I can’t say for certain. I look back to the Greenville Christian team of the Covid year. They brought in an entire team from a public school because they were unable to play. I don’t know that anyone paid for any of those kid or am I making that assumption. But it did give those kids mostly seniors I believe a chance to play football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some private schools will let players like this families do a “work study” where they will come up and “clean” the school at night and work special events. Illegal or not, there are ways to circumvent the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSSportsGuy Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Given private schools of any sort couldn't exist without tuition paying students, I'm always confused when I hear about a student being scholarshiped. I know some of the more established schools have foundations for students who are good academically or from lower SES situations but it seems like a lot of MHSAA athletes are finding themselves at MAIS schools the last few years for reasons I can't fathom, let alone how the family is paying for it or getting them transportation.
