Boarding schools are doing something else. Know it for a fact. There are also a few college coaches steering players towards some of these schools.
I have a son who played varsity at Andover as a junior last spring and my b.s. meter is ringing loudly after reading your posts. These schools love having high endowments but are often very cheap with financial aid. These schools are also very aggressive on the fundraising side for current parents. Last year Andover's best player was a PG who likely did receive a lot of aid but that had more to do with the fact that his parents were school teachers and not because he was a big time recruit.

Again you may claim otherwise but I know of a few players that were 100% guided by a college coaches to certain schools and financially had it made so it cost almost nothing for them to go. Call it what you will. These players would 100% not have made it on their academic prowess.
