A few years back there was a huge article in the Sacramento Bee that detailed the complaints of fellow SFL coaches, in attempts to kick Folsom out of the SFL.

Now that Folsom has come back down to earth- are they losing enough to be fully accepted into the SFL? I haven't heard any more rumblings about kicking them out since they didn't fully dominate as in years past.
Is it now safe for Folsom to play in this league now that everyone has a shot at a trophy?
Direct from article- “Folsom is so good, it’s from a different planet now, completely out of this atmosphere, and teams around here can’t compete, and sometimes it becomes a safety issue because you have teams going up against guys who are major recruits,” said Rocklin coach Greg Benzel, whose team lost to Folsom by seven touchdowns on Sept. 28."
@MCIC since you were one of the people leading the charge on expelling Folsom- what are your thoughts now?
What makes this article so interesting is the quote from the Oak Ridge HC- “Folsom isn’t breaking rules, but Folsom has a different set of rules than the rest of us,” Oak Ridge coach Eric Cavaliere said. “The open enrollment issue is big. We can’t take any kids into our school unless they live in El Dorado Hills."
What is best about this quote is that it is completely wrong. Even kids who transferred to Folsom to play football, had to move there. No different than if they chose to play at Oak Ridge or Del Oro. It does sound like sour grapes because other programs weren't able to attract the same level of talent, so they lashed out.
Thoughts?
