The NCAA Tournament will be expanding to 76 teams starting in the coming season

I think just making the tournament is definitely no longer any sort of accomplishment to stand on for any power conference team.

“Cincinnati Athletics has no comment at this time.”

It appears that they also had no comment at the time they found out about it either.

Don't know how is in Ohio etc, but in California, teacher's contract includes stipends for 'extra duty', also known as coaching. The irony is that if a teacher wants the position/stipend, they are given preference over any 'walk-on' coach (non-teacher). Sometimes, they are discouraged from taking. However if they are insistent, they get the position/stipend, regardless of their qualification. Which may be what your son is experiencing. With his BA, extra-base hits, seems reasonable that they'd find a spot for him in the line-up. All the HS coaching positions are that of being a teacher to these kids, and JVs are especially for getting experience and showing them how to do it. Feel for ya, and believe it or not, the varsity coaches have little or no impact on how the JV does things. Being a helicopter parent myself, I might corner a varsity coach, and lay out your case. Probably PO the JV coach when he finds out, so that's the risk. They can always call up your kid to varsity and teach him, give him a chance. Good luck with this, and keep this group informed.....

Its the Varsity Coach's program. He has plenty of say of what happens on the JV. A JV coach's whole job is to get kids ready to play Varsity. If there is a guy the Varsity coach sees having a future in his program, he absolutely would/should speak up and make the call on getting that kid more reps. I would have your son ask for a meeting with both JV and Varsity Coaches and see what more he needs to do to get more playing time. If he does everything he should be doing and nothing changes, then its time for you to have a meeting with the coaches.
