FR615 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 At this point you have teams preparing for their first round matchups. Beyond chaotic if a court says they have to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG22 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 There was a similar situation with Fayetteville High School a few years ago. As I recall, they lost the appeal and got a temporary injunction, with the judge removed a day or two later. I expect the same to happen with LA. Fayetteville went from 10-0 to about 4-6 and out of the playoffs that year, after the ruling against them. In their case, they had a QB transfer across the state line from Alabama, and there was a question about his eligibility based on a technicality of whether a city school bus ran by his house or just a country school bus. He had initially been ruled eligible by the TSSAA before the season, but then they took another look at it over halfway through the season and ruled him ineligible. The sad thing is due to a combination of his injuries and not being that good, he ended up not starting, and the team very likely would have been 10-0 without him but still had to forfeit enough wins that they were ineligible for the playoffs in a year they'd have had a shot at a gold ball.

gcapride Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 I agree with the earlier post about acceptance. This was a violation of the TSSAA rules (whether you like them or not) and the punishment fits the infraction. When we got popped, the punishment was far more severe and we accepted it and moved on. One thing is certain, you will be forced to move on, whether you want to or not. The ruling was made, the appeal was denied. Case closed, the next case is walking into the courtroom..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you were accused by the government of a "crime," and you know you didn't do it, would you just say, "Well, they say I did it and I don't want to fight it, take me to jail." The TSSAA rules on recruiting are very vague, per the US Constitution, we have the right to a fair trial. SCOTUS ruled that the TSSAA violated the 14th Amendment. Ya'll need to read up on the BA case, be informed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workinprogress Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 I am not aware of all the facts, so I will not pass judgement. So for those saying LA did nothing wrong, did the boys from Mississippi move here with the same parents/guatdians/siblings they lived with in Mississippi or did just the boys move and an adult rotated in? Did an assistant coach text a family saying he had talked to a booster that was already covering for families that could not afford tuition? These are what the allegations are. Did any of this happen? As far as the ruling goes, I understand the kids wanting to play and feeling like they did nothing wrong. I understand the parents wanting the kids to be able to play. However, this is a program consequence. It is what it is if the allegations are true. Follow the rules, keep things transparent and there is no problem. Should be real interesting to see what happens next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chattanoogachoochoo Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Sorry for some of the kids but I am assuming if this text is true then several players may have been receiving illegal financial aid. Normally 15 3,4,or 5 star players don’t randomly show up at one place and enroll with inducements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their rules come with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
