Message: [QUOTE="ruthetiger, post: 366285, member: 1183"] One of the posters have it right. NYC football will never be bigger than bball. However, there are done gems in downstate NY. This is more a political issue than anything . I was a coach at one of the bigger schools in the city, and I lived on long Island during that time. I always asked myself, why not have a sectional championship with Bk, Staten island,Qns, and the Bx to get more exposure for the players? Many shoot it down, especially from long island, because they are the big fish in a little pond. Up NY has sectional and state chips, and that is why most of your top recruits are from there. Sadly as much as I'd like for NY to catch up in football talent, not sure of it will ever come to pass because there are a lot of restrictions, especially when it comes to ball. They will always be behind the 8 ball on this issue. That and NY I'm general is a basketball crazed state. [/QUOTE]
