I have stayed out of this but I did see one report on the news tonight say that he probably would play next week!

 

It's my understanding that he has now been ruled to be eligible and will play. However, the wins in the first 6 games are still vacated. Not sure how all of this has come about since the appeal was denied, but something has obviously happened. Also noticed from the report in the TFP it was a majority decision and not unanimous. Again, something happened and I can't wait to seeing a copy of the ruling. I'm actually shocked that it isn't already online.

Remember, Tommy Layne recused himself so that would be the reason it wasn't unanimous.

If Signal Mtn plays the ineligible player against Sequatchie Co, the TSSAA will kick the school out of the association and they won't be able to play football or any sport in this state. That's the rule. I don't think I would risk that.

 

 

The lawyer is saying he can play, I've seen zero from the TSSAA indicating that's right.

They would never play the kid if he has been ruled ineligible by TSSAA. I know that Signal Mountain has asked itself this question. Who is liable if #3 does play against Sequatchie County and gets hurt? If he is ineligible would he still be covered under the school's insurance, TSSAA catastrophic insurance or his own insurance policy?

 

#3 has to sit out one calendar year from his last participation in practice or game from LFO or one calendar year from the last game LFO played last year?

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
