I guarantee you that the student that got the "benefit" from this as far as scholarship and getting to play was not very grateful for it. He embarrassed his school at many games and definitely did not show the Christian attitude or language that Grace should be promoting. And he was not such a great influence to the other kids at that school either. And way more than one family is going through this. The softball team and baseball team have no chance at appeals for their post seasons and both teams are on tract to a region appearance. The volleyball team has a chance at an appeal, but this years junior class who will be seniors next year have been working on this team since their 8th grade year where they played up... they are expected to win STATE this year! and these girls only have a faint hope that an appeal goes through. Not to mention the soccer teams and wrestling team who are incredible and will have no chance at post seasons. I know that it was meant to just "help someone out" but they could have ended up costing hard working athletes the titles that they deserve.
Sorry to rant on you post @tk20football but I just don't think that you are aware of the extent this one decision has effected people and the lack of thankfulness on the receiving end of that "gift".
