Top caliber players will never stay with "bad town teams". The whole premise makes no sense.

It takes a tremendous amount of courage to leave under the pressure, but I assure you even though it makes no sense its happening all over.

One Algebra class?? c'mon sage!!! they separate the kids academically in elementary school! And you know why? so the smart kids can get smarter, WHAT an original idea. And for the kids that start in the lower classes they have the slimmest of chances of ever catching up. they even do it for the arts. Its only sports they (public schools)hold everyone back for, hence the creation of competitive for profit sports.
