Born and bred catholic. Went to catholic grade school, kicked outta catholic high school, and graduated Jesuit University of San Francisco. Back in the 80s, a lot more Catholics in the Bay Area, which was where the six religious unis in the area drew their clients.
That's all changed. Fewer children, no matter their religion, are being born, so the demographics have changed. Who's gonna spend big money to send whatever kids they have to way overpriced catholic schools? The tuition at those San Francisco institutions are ridiculous, what middle class family is gonna put out that kind of money to learn religious bullshit? Ironically, the preeminent high school football programs in CA are catholic high schools. But, a lot of other real power house catholic football teams are falling apart. The numbers ain't there anymore...
