Fayetteville to forfeit 6 wins

The second round game would then be forfeited. The first round loser has no recourse and neither would the team that is left out in favor of the ineligible team. It stinks to high heaven.

And if Fayetteville is 100% correct, is eventually affirmed by the court, and got left out - how would that smell?  

At some point, the facts matter. And the court will decide them.

What’s keeping Freedom Prep from issuing a restraining order against TSSAA? I’m sure these are different cases, but if you want your team in the playoffs....

If eligibility is upheld. I guess there will be a big pool party in Alabama.

You can’t get a restraining order to prevent the TSSAA from complying with a legitimate court order.

I looked up Fayetteville's standings via their schedule on the TSSAA website.  They are back to 9-0 according to this.

But Class 1A Region 5 as a whole is missing in the standings.

You can’t appeal a decision that the court has overturned. The TSSAA does not have authority of the court system and the State of Tennessee. 

As of this morning, the kid is, and always was eligible. Nothing to appeal. 

Dude, you are skipping what I said. IF a school steps out of bounds and seeks a court rather than go through the set forth appeals process. These schools, as a part of membership, agree to the by-laws. The by-laws include an appeals process. You either follow it first or have your membership revoked until such time as everything is settled, either in court or in appeals through the TSSAA.

Fayetteville blatantly chose to ignore the appeals process they agreed to as a member institution. IF those by-laws arent held to standard, just tear the  whole thing up.

The Tennessean reported a hearing on extending the restraining order is set to take place Nov. 13.

You can’t write rules for any organization in the United States that seeks to prevent anyone from exercising their rights under the law. Period.

Thanks - could be correct, I was just suspicious with it being exactly 15 days away. That’s the absolute limit under the law. 

Figured they might go faster.

Might be a better option to just have the TSSAA go by them, too.
