Had nothing to do with winning or losing games. Please fwd this message to the CIF: Dear CIF, Every other state in America plays IMG and there are no "academies" popping up in those states!

When you have the L.A. metro of 12 million to choose from those two will always be powerhouses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no difference other than CA has more talented ballers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Students do go to school there to get an education. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m quite sure Mater Dei and St. John Bosco are both institutions of higher learning (as well as the rest of the Trinity League), but let’s not kid ourselves into thinking that the money and resources available to them aren’t also used for a higher level of athletics. And I always thought IMG was a tennis academy. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only speak for MD, yes some students go there for athletics as their primary motivation. I’m not naive to think otherwise. The alumni have deep pockets indeed and the athletics department raises more money than a lot of colleges. I personally always donate to the general fund instead of athletics, as the overall holistic mission of the school is more important to me than athletics alone.
