The "steal kids thing"... some kids don't need stolen away to another school be "recruiting". The tougher schedules of a team down the road may be more exciting for a young individuals wanting to be seen by college coaches. I think you see a lot of guys transferring to other public schools just as much as some complain on private schools. I think KSHSAA is going to have some pushback on the passed motion of you have to up your class if your school is private and wins so many state team titles in a short span, but don't do that to teams that aren't private. (But that's another topic).
