We have a private school up here that’s essentially a basketball mill. They offer full scholarships to “worthy” players - worthy meaning “good FG and FT percentages.” In Idaho church schools are allowed to play in public school leagues.

What this bill will do is allow Florida private schools to run basketball mills without having to pay to educate the kids.

If I was in the FL legislature I would offer an amendment that says private schools all play in the highest classification league.
