Fayetteville to forfeit 6 wins

I can see withholding info to put the screws to a rival school.  I don't know who brought this up to the TSSAA this last time, but I do know there is a ton of bad blood in when it comes to football between  Fayetteville and LC.  There will never be a return to the "good ole days" of Lincoln County football as long as Fayetteville is rocking and rolling, or even in existence.

If Fayetteville would have went through with the appeals process, would the TSSAA had to state the reason and why they determined the player to be ineligible during the board meeting?

Looks to me as though Fayetteville knew if they initiated a restraining order that they would be eligible to play in the playoffs so they avoided the meeting altogether!

Dirty, yet if legal would be a non issue.

Or knew they were busted and only way to get in. Works both ways.

You are correct in that assumption! It definitely goes both ways! 
 I’m missing to much information to know anything! I’ve read what some are saying is truth then reading were it’s wrong. Just know the whole situation sucks for someone..that being Fayetteville or a team that gets knocked out of the playoffs because of it!

 Like others I’m just waiting on a judgement and explanation.

That's what I believe as well. If this goes through the courts and the end result is against Fayetteville, they should kick them out of the TSSAA or suspend them for a length of time. I can't stand the TSSAA but to not go through proper process and straight to the courts is ridiculous. If they appealed and was ruled against, then take it to court, I would have had no problem with it. If they would have appealed and a decision wasn't made yet on Friday and they went to the court. I wouldn't had a problem with it.

To be honest, I'm not a law scholar and the judge may had to make a decision, but I'm not real happy the judge gave the injunction without them at least going through the appeal process. You agreed to this process when you became a member of the TSSAA. To me, going in front of the BOC is going in front of your peers or say jury. Present your case and let them make the decision and if you don't like it, then appeal to the courts. The BOC has to consider the decisions they make because that ruling could be brought up in a case against their school or a school in their region down the line. That's just the way I see it though.

I believe everyone has their own view of this situation. Yours is just as valid as anyone else’s. 
 I’m definitely not a fan of the TSSAA but I have my own reasons for that! I just see them picking and choosing which rules to enforce and which ones to ignore! That inconsistency is why things need to be addressed and changed! A violation of a rule is a violation...they must enforce the consequences not just whip there hands of it!

And am I reading it right where it says no Region 5 teams will be put in playoffs until this is complete? I thought I saw the court date is the 13th of November. 

Where are you seeing the playoff info?  I've seen the Nov 13 date, but not so sure that's accurate.  It could be, but that is also the very last day it could be held, I think (15 days after yesterday).  So, I wonder if that's for sure the date or just the outer limit.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
