You are talking about two totally different situations, then.  

If the house wasn't vacant and the mother still lived there and had custody, then that's why eligiblity wasn't denied, and not because somebody owned two homes with the untilities turned on.  

 

I never stated that they did own two homes. My story has been the same all the way thru. Parents were getting a divorce. Dad moved out and had temporary primary custody. Utilities of the former home remained in his name while mom lived there and dad rented an apartment in Milan. That is all I have ever claimed.

Understand, but it is still about custody and residency in that situation and in every situation where there is a change of schools once a student has started the 9th grade.

I totally agree with what you just said. It was about custody and residency. Dad clearly had custody but TSSAA thought that a simple utility bill meant the residence was not changed. Yes a rule was broken. The kid transfers from USJ to Milan. I think it is pitiful that the TSSAA punished the team for something that simple but it is what it is. The next time Milan played USJ they got revenge. The scoreboard stayed lite up all night!! Lol!!!

Where did this land? Is the kid going to play this season?

More generally, what is the actual rule? I had thought that if you moved >25 miles, you would be immediately eligible at the school you are zoned to with your new address. Let's start there... is that correct?

If so, I understand there are exception conditions. For example, if your parent is full-time employed at a school, that entitles the kid to attend there as well, regardless of where they live. Is that all it takes? If Reggie Sr. is employed by Ravenwood, what is the issue?

According to mapquest it is 33.7 miles from Mt. Juliet High School to Ravenwood High School.

Someone else earlier in this thread mentioned that the Grimes family lives in Davidson County... never lived in Mt. Juliet, and doesn't live in Williamson County. So while I am still curious about the specifics of the 25 mile rule, I don't think it applies in this case. Maybe I am complicating things by confusing 2 different cases, but this thread has wandered all over the place, so I didn't think it would be too much of a problem.

So is the 25 mile clause for real? If I move >25 miles (I assume that means residence tio residence, not school to school), would I be immediately eligible at the school I am (newly) zoned to?

I know there was a kid who played at Vanderbilt the last few years that transferred from Father Ryan to Hendersonville his senior year.  His family lived in Hendersonville and he was ruled ineligible because of the 25 mile rule.

So in that case, was the issue that the kid HADN'T moved 25 miles?

    • What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.
    • What rules does everyone not operate by?
    • So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.  
    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
